## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Absolute quality - My god as soon as you operate them you can feel the quality over the cheaper versions. I'm glad i bought this pair as my original cheap set are absolute rubbish, buy cheap, but twice is the saying, so yeah i do recommend these
Review: Stripping wire, no issues, seem to be high quality. - I bought these Irwin strippers mostly based on other reviews but also because they looked slightly better from the photos. I based this mostly on how clear the stamped writing looked since cheap tools often are badly stamped. I am not a professional now but I was for many years so I have a pretty good idea when tools are good quality and these are pretty good. There seem to be a load of wire strippers all looking identical so it's hard to tell if it's worth paying the extra for 'Brand' name items like these but I think I did the right thing buying them as the strippers I received seem to be high quality and so far are working well. I don't think they would be suitable for heavy gauge solid core mains wire but hopefully nobody would be daft enough to buy them for that kind of use. They are probably not meant to be used for removing the outer insulation of 3 core flex either but I tried it and it worked so.... In summery as a wise man said buy cheap and buy twice. These are not crazy expensive but not the cheapest so hopefully will give years of service.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have blade height adjustment? I could not get it to strip a 12 gauge wire.**
A: There is a tension adjustment, which helps but I typically leave mine on the most firm setting.  With larger wires like 10 or 12ga, I find I need to add a pressure to the top of the jaws for a firm enough grip.  Typically I am already holding the wire with my off hand and it's now second nature.

Where this tool really excellent is stripping 18-24ga multi-conductor cables.  You can strip the outer coating and multiple inner strands at once with the same tool.  

The only thing I roll off the tension for is solid bell or thermostat wire.  The stripping end will dig into the solid copper and the other end will bunch the coating up away from the wire end.

**Q: Will this work for speaker wire?**
A: I haven't had any luck with it on Genesis Speaker wires in 16 and 14 gauge.  Cat 5e and Cat6 STP and UTP it does well stripping the jacket but watch for nicks on UTP and peal back.

**Q: Will this truly strip all kinds of wires, like breadboard jumper wires?**
A: Definitely: breadboard jumper wires are my primary use.

**Q: How well do these strip 12 gauge romex (individual conductors, of course)?  That would be main use for these; already have simple strippers.**
A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XrsWv6enw&list=PLqVZGHwrUlvGV22O6vEEfTmhLLsNBVbRI&index=2#t=142.377521If you watch this Youtube video you see a man announce, at 50 seconds in, how he is replacing 12 gauge wire with 10 gauge.  This fellow then easily strips 10 gauge wire at about 2:00 minutes withthis very vice grip tool.  He makes it look so easy.  It is not a commercial just a guy rewiring his portable solar panel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XrsWv6enw&list=PLqVZGHwrUlvGV22O6vEEfTmhLLsNBVbRI&index=2#t=142.377521
