Review: The best wire cutter/stripper/plier combination. - In my pursuit of excellence, I’ve recently begun the process of decluttering my toolbox, removing unused and low-quality tools, and replacing them with top-notch equipment.

I’ve had my fair share of experiences with various brands and models. However, the KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper 10-20 AWG stands out as the best among them.

Made in Germany, this wire stripper boasts a solid construction that exudes durability and reliability.

I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool. Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed. Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features. **Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?** A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up. **Q: Are these spring loaded?** A: Yes, the product features an internal spring. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality combination pliers *by M***. on 25 November 2022* Out of all knipex pliers I own, these are my top favourite. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best wire cutter/stripper/plier combination. *by T***R on 12 June 2024* In my pursuit of excellence, I’ve recently begun the process of decluttering my toolbox, removing unused and low-quality tools, and replacing them with top-notch equipment.
