Klein Tools 11047 Wire Stripper / Cutter, Made in USA, Compact, Lightweight, Hardened Steel, Precision Ground, for Stranded and Solid Wires

Wire strippers that work with sub 24 AWG wire are fairly uncommon, and this one works well with sub-24 gauge wire.

I was looking for a small pair of wire cutters to add to my network cable kit. These are great! They are small enough to fit in my pouch of tools for the kit, they have a good grip and spring action, and the build quality is very nice! I haven’t needed to use them yet, but I have every confidence they will cut/strip the network wires I would use them for very well!

I wanted a small gauge wire cutter for confined spaces and these work great. They strip small gauge wires cleanly.

Simple. High quality stripper. Sharp cutting edge and comfortable handle. If you’re looking for a good quality tool at a reasonable price, you’ll be happy.

I need this for stripping very small wires for a load cell. It works as it should and seems well made and robust.

You will always find a pair of these as well as Klein’s flush cutters (Klein Tools D275-5 Lightweight Flush Cutter, Up to 16 AWG, Grips Designed for Tool Control and Heat Treated For Durability https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000GTMZHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RFzeFbTXRJD6J) in my small tool pouch. These are sharp, precise and make stripping very easy. The handles want to be open so when you are done the reset in your hand and you can move quickly to the next wire. A true one handed operation that requires no extra dexterity or movement.Despite being so small the over molded handles are comfortable in the hand and do not cause fatigue after long periods of use. The wire gages are easily seen on the stripping head and don’t require any genuflecting or search for light in order to see them. Other products i have, i sometimes feel like they should just put the numbers in Braille as might feel them easier than trying to see them.These have also lasted a long time and i like Klein’s color coding of the handles. You know what you are grabbing without much of a glance.

Tested the 11047 on 26 gauge wire-wrap wire. Worked perfectly. Previously, I had bought a cheaper stripper and that just shredded the insulation. I returned it and got the 11047. Stick with Klein.

I love these I have been using them for years.
