Klein Tools 11055EP Wire Cutter and Stripper, Made in USA, Stranded and Solid Wire Cutter, Cuts Copper

I like them. Replaced my 20 year old Klein’s that I finally wore out. Nice handles, sharp and easy to make hooks with the wire after stripping.

These things are my go-to for my around the house wire cutting / wire stripping. I have alternate off-brand strippers which work but I just have much greater luck with these bad boys. I've primarily used them stripping 10AWG-14AWG Romex. I wish I had these sooner. The locking mechanism is decent and quick to release. The end plier is also useful. The durability of the blades is also quite respectable. The spring return also works well. I kept these in my pocket long enough that they also work great for opening the electrical panel doors (not their intended use) but hey, tools are tools, right?

Great wire cutter. I was tired of old and cheap ones and finally bought a quality one. Very well made and so easy to make a quality cut. I wasn’t familiar with Klein tools but will look for other tools that I may need.

Nice feel in the hand. Markings are easy to read. Does the job

Works and functions well. My only complaint is the position of the lock lever. It's positioned where I frequently push it into the closed position when cutting or stripping wire. So a bit annoying to often be unlocking the lever. Otherwise it was a good add to my tools.

I am a "Saturday Afternoon" electrician, so I am not a professional and do not use these every day. However I do like good quality tools, and have long since convinced myself that spending a couple extra bucks for good tools is cheaper in the long run. I have used these for a couple projects, and so far, so good. === The Good Stuff === * They strip wire. I really only use 12 and 14 gauge NM, and these work great. * The handles are secure and don't slide off. The tool feels secure in my hand, and is about the right length and width to grip easily and line up with work. * The locking tab comes in handy for the toolbox. Less space, and less chance of getting wrapped up with the other tools. * After some use, the tool is still as tight and aligned as it was when I purchased it. But I do not use the cutter, so that may cut down on the wear and tear. === The Not-So-Good Stuff === * My eyes aren't what they used to be, and it is a bit tough to read the gauge markings on the tool. I am sure if I used it more often, I would be so used to tool that muscle memory would guide me to the right slot. I did put a small dot of orange paint next to the 14ga slot, and that has helped. * I would have preferred more friction in the lock clip. It has a tendency to slide into the lock position, usually at the worst possible time. I have considered removing it from the tool, but haven't as yet. === Summary === A comfortable and easy-to-use tool. It took me a long time to get used to using wire-strippers, I always just used wire cutters. But after a few nicked wires, I learned my lesson, and these are about the best pair I ever owned.

This is a quality tool. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of more expensive, complicated wire strippers but I'm not a professional electrician so I won't be stripping hundreds of wires. I like the quality of the item, it is sturdy and very well finished. The curved handles also are a great feature. This item just fits your hand very well and is a joy to use. I have several cheap wire strippers and they dull quickly, aren't robust so the cutting blades don't line up very well. I have other Klein tools and they are all first class.

Good quality and comfortable handle. Nice design and easy to use. Good grip and easy for stripping.

excellent quality, fast delivery, thank you!
