Klein Tools K12035 Klein-Kurve Wire Cutters, Made in USA, Heavy Duty Wire Stripping Tool

Solid strippers, sharp and easy to use. No lock though which I think is silly for the price. The cutters chipped when I accidentally cut a live wire but that's to be expected.

Does most normal electrical work - twisting wires, stripping, cutting up to #8. Pliers are wide enough to twist joints before wire nutting. I don't normally need to cut bolts or use the high-leverage of larger lineman's pliers. These multi-purpose pliers let me carry less tools in my pouch. Handles are comfortable. I removed the spring, as it was annoying after years using normal pliers. Great Klein quality. Now I have one in the toolbag and one in my pouch (or hip pocket).

I’ve heard varying opinions on this product but finally decided to buy it. This has been without a doubt the best quality purchase I’ve made as an electrician in the past year. It’s comfortable in the hand, able to strip insulation easily and cleanly, and the thick “lineman side” of the pliers has a great grip. It’s not much larger than normal strippers either. Before I’d use strippers and lineman’s pliers for each make up and this slowed me down drastically. Now, I just use this to strip and twist my wires for a faster box makeup. My only critique was there was no lock available to keep the pliers closed in my pouch but I cut the spring out and it works like a charm.

Been an electrician for years, and I really like these strippers with the linesman end on it. Saves you from grabbing your lineman's pliers to twist wires together so it speeds things up. I'm often in very tight quarters either wiring up refractorys or fixing the factory where we make them. Having to only grab one tool and not switch back and forth is great and saves awkward reaching back and forth constantly for the right tools to get the job done. The spring makes it easier on your hands too. It is a bit larger and heavier than the standard strippers, but the curved handles are quite comfortable. The one flaw is there is no lock on it like the regular strippers from Klein. I'll probably fabricate one and rivet it through the wire loop hole (I never use it anyways) so it performs like my old pair. Side note: my old Klein strippers lasted me a good 10 years, and I have every expectation that this pair will last as long.

I would give 5 stars but I wish they locked shut for storage. other wise they are pretty nice. also would be nice for the gauge indications on both sides for right or left handed use.

Love Klein & these wire strippers do NOT disappoint! They are SOLID & may replace most jobs for my old linesman pliers. Strips wires easily. Cuts them like butter. Pliers twist 3 wires easy (pre wingnut twist). Even the bolt cutter did its job -shears bolts nicely & still able to screw. 1 THING DON’T LIKE: I wish it had a lock to keep them from popping open. This would make it easier to put in/out of my tool bag. I may cut the spring off (undecided). I’m still happy with this purchase & understand there are only so many things that can go on this tool. This model does NOT offer crimpers or smaller needle-nose end. So decide carefully which works best for your needs. Lots of cheap tools out there, but this Klein seems very HEFTY & it’s Made in USA.

Comfortable, sharp cutting and stripping edges, duck bill end is great for pulling wire, Kline quality. Works like it should with big comfortable handles for all day use.

Best strippers I’ve owned yet been using since they have been out and the knuckle head sets these apart from all others. They are a must if you need to splice wires

Estoy decepcionado no hace cortes limpios en cable multihilo me lo quedo simplemente porque lo necesito

Klein tool is always Reliable & Heavy Duty.

Buena herramienta

Sold as brand new but fresh out of box already rusted

Pezzo di ferro pesante, ingombrante e estremamente costoso. Arrivato già arruginito. Delusione.
