KNIPEX - 1252195 Tools - PreciStrip 16 Automatic Wire Stripper(12 52 195)

Saw Adam Savage with his favorite things of 2024...He loved these wire strippers and I have gone through so many of the the strippers with the various sized holes, i thought it was time to bite the bullet. They are really cool and do a great job. I bought another pair for my son who is also a home handyman!!!

This unit DOES NOT work with romex wire or thhn as the sleeves are too hard. you will need KNIPEX 12 62 180 for those type of wire. I own both and this has a softer grip so it is a lot better on delicate electronic wire or silicone psu wire.

Well, not sure where to begin with these. Half of my tools are of this brand and I really like them. So I decided to give these a go. well they only work on MTW wire. So Useless for the most part, and at this price. Going back.. Unless you do all panel work these with just take up space. They should make a big point that they only work on special insulations. Very very disapointed with this.

These do what I WISH my other wire strippers could do. I’ve owned and used a bunch of different types of wire strippers over the years as an engineer. I mostly use these to build small electronics including RC cars/trucks, and FPV drones. The adjustable dial allows you to fine tune the tool for different types of insulation. I have tried stripping every type of wire that I can find around my workshop including small signal wires(various 24awg-30awg), larger battery wires (silicone 8awg-14awg), low quality wires in various sizes, high quality silicone wires in various sizes, and these strippers produced a perfect strip every time! I believe they will last a long time and the replaceable blades means these will probably outlast me! There are cheaper automatic strippers out there but I wanted a pair that worked flawlessly and produced professional, clean results, every time, without effort… I couldn’t be happier! If you are on the fence, just get them, you won’t be disappointed. Another banger for Knipex, well done!

Easy to use, well built, wide range of wire gauges work perfectly. Just a lot of $ for a mostly plastic tool.

This is a great tool for working with romex. If you want it to work well, you will need to spend a couple of minutes learning how to use it best. I find a turn of the wrist along the axis of the wire to work best for hard insulations. The inline motion of stripping work great for tight spaces where traditional right angle strippers get in the way.

And I saved a huge amount of cash by us buying almost everything off of amazon we probably save 25-30 thousand dollars a yr .Thanks amazon

Works great with 12awg and smaller. I wouldn't recommend for anything larger.
