NEIKO02037A Compact Wire Stripper | 4-in-1 Multi Purpose Electricians Pliers | Wire Crimper, Cutter and Gripper | 12-20 AWG Wire Service Tool | Crimps Insulated & Non-Insulated | Electrical Stripping

The cutters are extremely sharp and easy to use. The crimpers are easy to use and align. It’s not difficult at all the bite down and get the full motion. They work exactly like bolt cutters. Easy to adjust and switch to different sizes. Does take some practice to get a clean crimp. They seem to be well made and very durable. I used these for making quick connects on 0/1 gauge wire. It I had it to do all over again I would spend the additional and buy the pressure/hydraulic with wider lugs. I had to crimp 3 times and go back and crimp the pinch it created.

Awesome tool must have for those that do a lot automotive wiring and want a solid crimp and sharp cutting edge.

I work at a Dealership local to me, where I do a large majority of all the electrical work. These pliers are really great. The tip of the pliers have sideways serrations, making them great for removing fuses in tight spots. The wire strippers work excellent for most automotive purposes. If you have extremely small gauge wires then you have to turn the pliers sideways slightly to get it to strip better, but certainly works well. My only two real gripes is that when crimping wires together, the pliers sort of dig into your hand. It's not too bad, but if you're having to do a major wiring job and splice a bunch of stuff together, then they can start to become uncomfortable while splicing stuff together.Also, another small thing, but the wire cutters are inside the pliers on the bottom side of the pivot. They cut great, but it is a bit awkward. Again, especially if you're using them to cut several wires, like replacing a connector pigtail.Other than that, they are a great all-round and do it all electeical pliers. If you're comparing them side, I think the OTC ones are better objectively speaking, but they are also $45 dollars. For that, I think you'd be better off saving your cash and buying these. Definitely recommended for someone to throw into an emergency tool bag in the trunk of their car. They get used all the time in my shop

I love this thing. Seriously, if you've ever had to strip electrical wire or speaker cable, you'll know it can be a real pain with basic wire strippers. It's very easy to cut too deep, sever the wire and have to start over again.As soon as I received this, I used it the same day to strip some speaker cable for some new speakers in my home theater. I first tested it out on some leftover 16 awg cable, just to get the feel for them. It stripped off the jacket, no problem. I then moved on to the 12 awg cable I was currently using and it struggled on the first try and didn't strip off the jacket. I then tightened down the adjustment knob and tried again. The jacket came off no problem. I noticed it also took a more assertive and forceful squeeze of the handles to pull it off since the outer jacket of the 12 awg was very thick but it did it every time after that. The cutting and crimping features also worked perfectly. Honestly, I had a great time using these. Most every other time I've stripped speaker cable, I've cut too deep and ended up severing the some of the cable and needed to start again making sure to be slower and more careful about it. Its made the process longer and more frustrating than it had to be. With these wire strippers, it's quick, easy and actually fun. I look forward to using them again.One thing to note, I bought the Neiko brand because pretty much all of the others are almost exactly the same, more expensive but still made in Taiwan like these. Even the Irwin and Klein models are made in Taiwan. They very well may be made in the same factory. The only noticeable difference I saw were the grips but for double the price or more, I didn't think it was worth it. Neiko is a pretty big brand for tools so I felt theirs would be just as likely to work. So you can pay for the name for basically the same Taiwan tool or less. That choice I leave to you but that's why I bought these and given the fact that they work perfectly (as of now) I think I made the right call. I'll update later if they stop working for some reason and adjust my rating accordingly. As of now, I recommend them.

Use it for work everyday good tool and good price

These are actually really good strippers…. Been doing a lot of work with them and I’m pleasantly surprised for once

It usually works ok if all conditions are met but that seldom happens.

Awesome quality wire stripper for a good price
