This Klein Tools wire stripper and cutter is a must - have for all your wire - working needs. It comes with a single wire stripper/cutter. This tool is incredibly compact and lightweight, making it easy to handle. Its narrow nose design allows it to fit into those hard - to - reach spots effortlessly. The stripping holes are precision - ground and made of hardened steel, ensuring clean cuts and easy insulation removal. However, remember not to use it for cutting steel wire or bolts. It features a spring - loaded action for self - opening, which is very convenient. There are easy - to - read wire gauge markings on both sides, enabling you to strip wires in either direction. The black - oxide finish resists corrosion, and the textured handles offer a firm and comfortable grip. There are also wire looping and bending holes, and the shear - type cutting blades make clean cuts. It's designed to cut, strip, loop, and gauge 16 - 26 AWG stranded wires. With an overall length of 6.25' (15.9 cm), a red handle, and weighing 4.3 oz (122 g), it's a practical addition to your toolbox.
Using this Klein wire stripper/cutter is a breeze. First, check the wire gauge markings on the tool to match the wire size you're working with. Place the wire in the appropriate stripping hole and squeeze the handles. The spring - loaded action will help open the tool after use. For looping and bending, use the dedicated holes on the tool. When it comes to cutting, the shear - type blades will give you a clean cut. Remember, don't use this tool on steel wire or bolts as it can damage the blades. To maintain the tool, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris. The black - oxide finish resists corrosion, but it's still a good idea to store it in a dry place. This will ensure the tool lasts for a long time and keeps performing at its best.
