Durable and reliable, it maintains performance even after long use, making wire tasks quicker and easier. It is well built overall and I am happy with the purchase.

Thank you fast service works great

I bought this tool because: 1) I was looking for a crimping tool 2) I did not have a good set of wire strippers 3) A reviewer indicated that the wire strippers were awesome 4) I thought the price was excellent. In using this tool as a crimper, I discovered that I have a tendency to "over crimp" the connectors. I don't see this as a failing of the tool...I see it as a failing of the user. I just don't have 'the touch' down yet. However, I was blown away by how well this tool strips wires. Pros 1) Great price 2) The gauge guides for wire stripping appear to be right on the money (just as another reviewer noted). When I line up the wire in the correct hole and press the handle, I get this satisfying little "pop" that I feel when a wire stripper exactly cuts the insulation but does not touch the wire underneath. The gauge is that good. 3) It works flawlessly as a wire-cutter. It makes nice clean cuts. 4) It can be used to make crimps if you have the experience and a good feel for it. Given my limitations with crimping, it will be my backup crimper. Cons 1) This is not a con of the product...but I don't make very good crimps with this tool. I blame me and not the tool. It is a solid tool, and I'm sure I could get really good at it with practice, but I wimped out and picked up a ratcheting crimper as well (in particular, I picked up S&G Tool Aid 18900 Professional Ratcheting Terminal Crimper ). I personally recommend the tool as a great wire stripper/cutter. As far as a crimper goes, your personal skill at crimping connectors will determine its usefulness. For my part, I like the stripping/cutting ability so much, along with the price point, that I intend to keep it for that purpose alone. The fact that it can serve as a back up crimping tool is a bonus.

This is probably the only product I've bought here that hasn't atomized its self within 6 months. Not only that, but I've been using it consistently to cut and strip wires, break screws, occasionally crimp... crimps for the last 4 and a half years. The blades are still as sharp as they ever were, nothing is wearing down or malforming, and it has no problems opening and closing. My only gripe is that the little hole for making wire hooks isn't great, so I have to switch to another pair of pliers for that. This is a rare example of a simple, no-frills tool that actually serves its purpose and keeps serving that purpose without an expiration date. This is what "you get what you pay for" is SUPPOSED to mean- instead of paying a premium for the manufacturers not to sabotage it first.

They do what they are supposed to do. I'm a happy customer

Love all my Irwin tools. Great price and always effective.

Guys, let me tell you about the IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripper. This tool is an absolute game-changer for any DIY enthusiast out there. I mean, it cuts through wires like butter, no joke! The 8-inch size is just perfect for me - not too big, not too small. Plus, the ProTouch Grip is a total lifesaver, providing maximum comfort for those long projects. I seriously can't imagine my toolbox without this bad boy now. Honestly, if you're into DIY stuff or just need a reliable wire stripper for odd jobs around the house, this is the one for you. It handles 10-22 AWG wires like a champ, and the plier-style nose makes it super easy to maneuver. I've used a few different wire strippers in the past, but this one takes the cake. Highly recommend it, folks! 🔥👌

Great quality wire strippers

Pesquisei bastante antes de comprar, todas as avaliações que vi eram referentes ao modelo "Decapador". Ao pesquisar por preços e o melhor lugar pra comprar, acabei caindo nesse modelo chamado "Eletricista". Sinceramente, não entendo porque há tão pouca informação sobre esse alicate, pois até agora não encontrei defeitos. Corta fios mais macio que manteiga, corta barra roscada com precisão. Crimpa os terminais de forma satisfatória, decapa os fios sem esforço, cabo agradável pra se trabalhar... Logo, se você é um profissional que passa o dia decapando fios, o modelo Decapador realmente pode fazer diferença. Mas se você realiza diversos serviços de elétrica, e não quer ficar carregando três ou 4 tipos de alicate, esse é uma escolha muito boa.

Use it to for small circuitry and stripping/cutting and wiring 18/20 gauge wires. Good with 10 gauge too other cheap brands tend to take strips of wire along with the outer casing, not Irwin. The cutter is razor sharp and seems it will last a very long time before going blunt. Grip is good for my hands you can get some real pressure when crimping. My only minor gripe is for a more flatter area on both sides of the insulation crimping zones so i can use it to secure connectors instead of relying on the pliers at the head of the tool. Overall a must and very handy tool in your toolbox.

Good tool, does what it is supposed to.

Very versatile tool, a stripper, cutter, and pliers all in one. Comfortable in the hand and feels well-made. Would buy again
