## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty impressed!
*by D***N on January 2, 2026*

I always thought these were kinda gimmicky. I had a ancient one superficially similar to this (individual die slots, same kind of action) and it never worked great, but several review videos persuaded me to try this one. Wow. From being able to gang-strip several wires at once and not nick the conductors to a little trick to peel a second spot on a wire to let me solder on a tap wire (always struggled with that before) and not having to think about wire size and carefully lay the wire into the appropriate groove, this seems like it's almost perfect. Quick, simple and and repetitive (with the strip gage/stop) to strip cords and individual wires. (It might struggle with the very short conductors needed for attaching cord plugs on heavy cords. but the only tool I ever found that did this well was an ancient T&B stripper that had the end of the pliers bent over at 90 degrees--sadly i broke it after about 30 years doing something dumb and can't find anything like it today.) This is thoughtfully designed to fit the hand (not open so wide it's hard to hold and operate), with comfortable plastic grips--smooth, nicely textured and some grooves. It has a large opening for wires/cables, and aggressive jaws to hold the jacket. I have no idea if the two cutting blades will wear (or really, how fast) or need to be replaced at some point. For the moment it's delivering nice clean cuts. (Same uncertainty about the enclosed mechanism that seems to control the cycle--if this wears will the thing degrade or stop working altogether? No idea. Hope not. This is trying to be my new favorite tool (but I have a short attention span.) The Cutter works but it's now one of a dozen so probably not going to get used a lot. The crimper is a little confusing but might be ok once i figure it out. Until then I have a couple of others that seem to be working fine. (located on the inside of the handles may be a bad idea for wire/terminal placement during crimping and for leverage but I haven't tested this function yet)
