Handle grip: A comfortable grip is important if you’ll be using the wire strippers for long periods of time. A poor grip can lead to blisters and cramps by the end of the day. While this is a handy tool if you are setting up a home computer system, landline phone, or stereo system, be aware that the instructions are not detailed and assume that you already have experience in cutting or stripping these sorts of communications cables. It also has very sharp blades that can easily cut your finger if you aren't careful. Still, this is a handy tool if you are willing to learn how to use it. The grip is spring-loaded and designed for long-term use. The chassis has a heavy-duty design that includes an Ecoat corrosion-resistant finish. Wide Compatibility: The electric motor powers drill-driven technology, while the adjustable blades and rollers fit all wire sizes with diameters from 1.5 mm (0.06”) up to 25 mm (1”).

If you often work with delicate, small wires, such as those used in electronic devices, then you'll appreciate the accuracy of the Jonard Tools WS-5 Adjustable Wire Stripper, which lets you strip or cut solid or stranded wire from 10 to 30 AWG. That means you can use the same wire stripper for most household electrical repairs, as well as working on your electronic devices. This wire stripper has an adjustable screw that lets you set the tool to just the right size for the wire. It also has a looping hole for solid wire.Comfort: If you’ll be using your wire strippers a lot, a comfortable handle that is easy to grip will make your job easier. Look for rubberized handles to provide a bit of cushioning. It also has a cutter that’s intended for copper wire, a crimper, and a needle nose plier tip. That simple versatility makes it a good choice for manual work that requires precision and care. T Wire gauges: Smaller wire strippers will have notches for the most common wire gauges, while larger strippers will handle the less common sizes, too. Make sure to compare the gauges a pair of strippers can fit to the wire sizes you know you’ll be cutting.

RANGE OF USES: Can strip wire from 10-24AWG for stereos, lighting, telephone wire, home electronics and appliances projects including copper, cable, coaxial, thermal and aluminium wire. Adjustable stopper to adjust the length that is stripped and for micro projects with gauges smaller than 20AWG an adjustable swivel knob can be used for precision. Wire crimper crimps 10-22AWG insulated, 10-22AWG non-insulated and 7-9mm ignition terminals, plus a wire cutter.Manual strippers require you to pull the wire out after the insulation is cut, which can get tiresome if you need to prepare a large number of wires for a project. These may seem like simple, standardized hand tools, but there are actually a few important features that set one wire stripper apart from another. Some are designed to do repetitive stripping fast, and others are intended for repair work that requires care and versatility. Below are the key features to think about when shopping for a modern set of wire strippers.
