Review: Top quality and works well - This is a review on Klein Tools wire strippers type 11046EP. These are excellent wire strippers from a trusted USA maker. As a hobby guitar stomp box builder, I mainly use 22 awg multi-stranded PTFE insulated wire which I pre-cut into relatively short lengths (1 to 6 inches). My automatic strippers (AB Mk1s, I have both vintage and new) will not strip this PTFE to any acceptable standard. These Kleins work fine, but very short lengths (1-inch) are difficult to hold. I get round the problem by using the basic Klein /Ideal style to pre-cut the PTFE and ABs to pull off. It’s a bit of a ‘mess on’ but it works. I’m fussy about the tools I use and these Kleins are as good as you’ll get.
Review: A very good tool - This wire stripper isn't quite as refined as the KLE11055 that I also have (with the curved handles), but it's still a pleasure to use. The blades are extremely sharp and work well for both cutting and stripping. This is a great size for general domestic repair work where you may need to strip mains flex as well as ribbon cable and hookup wire on PCBs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they crimp barrell fittings?**
A: this tool can not crimp at all,
for stripping wires only

**Q: What are the exact dimensions of these strippers? I'm looking for something compact enough to fit into a small toolkit case.**
A: The wire cutter is 6" long, the width of the grip is about 3 5/8" not depressed, and at the tip is about 1 3/16" not depressed.   The thickest section across the length is 5/8" in the grip area.   These measurements are by sight with a ruler.

**Q: Does it have a locking mechanism so it doesn't stay wide open?**
A: Most of us who use this style of stripper... remove the spring so it doesn't self-open. It takes nothing to flick it open with your pinky or ring finger when you grab it.

That auto-opening spring is annoying and it makes your forearm tired earlier in the day. Get rid of it.

**Q: There is another set of numbers on the picture opposite the awg sizes. ie, 1.0. .75, .50, etc.what do these represent? thanks... bob**
A: metric wire diameters  0.039"= 1mm

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb USA made wire cutters.
*by L***E on 25 September 2023*

These are great wire cutters, USA made and Klein Tools are a trusted brand. Good size range AWG 10 - 20. AWG 14/16 will strip internal blue, brown & earth wires. These are a breeze to use and strip solid wire perfectly and evenly with minumum pressure.
