Quality, heavy-duty and more than just wire strippers! The Klein Tools 8-18 Solid/10-20 Stranded Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper with Shear-Cut (Model # K12035SEN) is not only sturdy and well made, it’s also way more than just a wire stripper. The jaws are as tough as any pliers. The cutters easily handled 12-2 Romex, helped by good leverage from the comfortable handles. The wire bending hole was easier to use than needle nose pliers and made a perfect u-shaped loop for terminal screws (see pic). And the tool has a feature I didn’t even know existed: threaded holes (see pics) for shearing 6-32 and 8-32 screws, the sizes typically used for outlet covers and junction boxes. Plenty of times I’ve had screws too long and resorted to hacksaws or nippers which tend to damage the threads. But now just thread the screw in the matching hole to the desired depth and squeeze the handles. It cleanly shears off the end of the screw. And the shortened screw threaded into a junction box with no need for filling! And, of course, it does a great job of stripping wire. I tried it on solid and stranded and it made quick work of all of them, though some stranded wire required a couple extra twists, probably because the strands compress a bit. My only minor complaint is the lack of a “catch” to hold the handles/jaws closed when not in use. But this was easily solve with a zip tie (see pics). Highly recommended!

Klein 8-18 Solid/10-20 Stranded Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper with Shear-Cut Heavy duty wire strippers. Hot forged makes them 3 time harder than normal tools. Located next to the center are the two most common sizes screw shearing or thread cleanup (6/32” and 8/32”) and the wide knurled jaws allow for the twisting up to three wires at a time. There is Klein hot rivet joint to prevent tool wobbling and gives years of tight use. Then the induction blade wire cutter that stays sharper longer and cuts solid or twisted wire with ease. Finally, there is the Klein Kurve ergonomic handles with the journeyman grip for a comfortable all-day long use grip. All these items add to the many reasons you will want Klein tool in your bags year after year. Klein tools have been proudly made in the USA since 1867.

Great tool. But for 100% sattisfaction it should be nice to have a locking feature to keep the handles together for storage
Elisabeth Kassulke (verified owner) –
Great tool. Excellent quality. Only room for improvement would be to have some type of latch mechanism that keeps the Jaws closed during non-use.

Fantastic quality and made in USA. Only problem is that it lacks latch to keep it closed when not in use.
Anthony Marvin (verified owner) –
It is a great tool by far but if it had a locking clip to keep them closed it would perfectly fit in my Klein pouch/backpack

Really good strippers that you can twist wire with. I do commercial electric and basically replaced my linemans for 90% of the time
