Hakko CHP CSP-30-1 Wire Stripper, 30-20 Gauge Maximum Cutting Capacity

This is a great quality tool, with precise action and sharp stripping ability. Works from 20 - 30 gauge, so perfect for small or hobby electronics use - not for home or commercial electrical wiring. I use for hobby projects and electronic appliance repair. The embossed numbers are hard to read, so I smeared some liquid paper on them and wiped off excess with a paper towel damped with isopropyl alcohol. It leave white numbers, easy to read.

Very high quality strippers! I have never been let down by Hakko's hand tools. I own these wire strippers as well as Hakko nose pliers and wire cutters. The hand grips are very comfortable, and opening and closing the strippers is extremely smooth. I have had no trouble at all with stripping small gauge wires. The grips are non-slip so you don't have to ever worry about them slipping out of your hands. I use this for my electronics hobby so I'm primarily stripping gauges that are around 24AWG. I've included a video of me stripping a 30AWG stranded wire. These strip every gauge its rated for just fine. It strips very cleanly with no marring of the core wire(s). I know there are a few reviews complaining about having troubles with thin wires, but I honestly do not know how they could be having any troubles at all. I'm tempted to think it could be user error. These have worked flawlessly for me so far. Also, my favorite feature is the ability to keep these strippers half-open. Using the metal stopper, you can let them open up all the way, only half way, or stay completely closed. Keeping the strippers from opening up fully is very useful because when you're stripping thin wires, there's never a need to open them up completely (unless you're going to start using the wire cutters in back). This extra movement to open and close just increases the work your hands end up doing since you really only need to open them very slightly--just enough to get the wires into place. This feature makes stripping wires even more pleasurable!

High quality precision wire stripper for small gage wire. A must have for the RC hobbyists tool kit

These work on 30awg wire wrap wire nicely.

I did a few PicoBoot GameCube mods and had to get some wire and wire strippers (I usually solder boards, not wires). These worked quite well for me. I lined up my wire with the indent labeled with the right size, stuck a bit through, squeezed, and pulled. I'm not an expert on wire strippers, but these feel high quality and easy to use. They will probably last me a lifetime unless I lose them.

accurate description, fast shipping

Bought this specifically for both cutting and stripping 20gauge wires .. for arduino bread boards, and led soldering hobby crafts. You could technically use a regular wire cutter without pre assigned notches to strip wires accurately too but the notched grove makes it easier without any skill required. To strip wires with the grove: Basically place the correct gauged wire 20 in the right grove marked 20 at the location you want to strip.. fully compress wirecutter handle grips.. pull wire in opposite direction of wirecutters. Regular wirecutters No grove: choose a spot you want to strip from. using the blade portion make small light cuts rotating the wire 90° 3-4 times. If you press the cutters grips too hard you will cut the wire so practice before hand to get use to it. After the sheath is noticeably cut; again slightly depress wirecutter grips in the marked location and pull the wire in the opposite direction.

For $10, this is an amazing crimper for the 30-20 AWG range which covers pretty much everything for most electronics and DIY stuff. It's well built in Italy as you'd expect from Hakko, has a proper lock mechanism, and solid construction overall. Sharp cutter for slicing wire, individually labeled crimpers for each gauge (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) and a plier-tooth like top for grabbing and manually crimping. This is nothing fancy, easy to use but does the job way better than similar products that are double or triple the cost.

Actually really good wire strippers from the brief testing I've done. No snagged strands and insulation comes off in one. I'd recommend given how difficult 30AWG wire strippers are to find (and these're reasonable value to boot)!

Good quality. It is hard to find strippers that will do 30 gauge wire

excelente calidad Hakko sin duda.

Esta pinza es de buena calidad y está bastante filosa que ayuda con cables muy delgados como el 30 awg

I bought this to strip 22-24AWG wires and it works great. Seems well built, and produces a nice strip. I haven't tried the smaller gauges, but should be great for that as well. Totally happy.
