The plastic - covered handles are not only comfortable to hold but also make the tool easy to use for extended periods. It can strip six standard wire sizes without nicking the wires. Made of steel, it's durable and long - lasting. Measuring 6.125 inches (15.6 cm) in overall length and weighing 3.7 oz (104 g), it's lightweight and portable. The blue - colored handles add a touch of style and are easy to spot in your toolbox.
Using this Klein wire stripper and cutter is straightforward. To strip wires, place the wire in the appropriate slot based on its gauge (10 - 20 AWG for solid and 12 - 22 AWG for stranded) and squeeze the handles. The tool will cleanly remove the insulation without nicking the wire. For cutting, position the wire between the cutting jaws and apply pressure. The serrated nose jaws can be used to bend or shape the wire as needed, and you can loop the wire ends through the holes. When using the tool, make sure to wear appropriate safety gear like gloves. Keep the tool away from water and store it in a dry place. After each use, wipe it down with a clean cloth to remove any debris. If the tool becomes dull over time, you can have it sharpened by a professional.
