Overview
A wire stripper is an essential tool for any electronics work bench, and this multi-purpose stripper and cutter is our favorite from among the many we evaluated. For convenience, each slot is labeled by both the cut diameter in millimeters and the solid-core wire gauge it can strip (for stranded wire, you should use the slot that is one size larger), and it features a comfortable curved and cushioned grip. The overall tool length is 7.25 inches (18.5 cm).
We have two versions available that together span a combined range of 10 to 30 AWG solid or 12 to 32 AWG stranded:
- Item #1922 – Wire Stripper 10-20 AWG Solid, 12-22 AWG Stranded
- Item #1923 – Wire Stripper 20-30 AWG Solid, 22-32 AWG Stranded
For separate wire cutters and pliers, see the mini diagonal cutters and mini long-nose pliers.
