IRWIN 2078317 7-Inch Wire Stripper/Cutter/Crimper |
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: Great for the Price!!
Comments: I work with low-voltage wire eday, so a great wire cutter/stripper is imperative, and these deliver.
Pros: they are sharp and cut well, and the stripper notches do a great job at cutting through wire shielding. It has a pliers like grip on the nose which has come in handy more than once. It also has an area behind the hinge for crimping B-connectors, etc. Another nice feature is that it is thin and compact, which makes it nice when keeping it in a pocket or tool belt. finally, these strippers look much nicer than products from Klien, etc.
Cons: My main beef with these strippers is the spring mechanism; it is not held on well, so it can pop out and get lost if dropped or opened to far. Also, for some reason they are labeled "Vice-Grip" instead of "Irwin", which isnt a con, however its just odd.
All said, these are a great product and i would endorse them to any of my co-workers. |

Summary: Quality tool.
Comments: This is a quality tool. It has enough weight to it that you can feel it was not made from cheap metal/tin however it's not so heavy as to be uncomfortable. It has a comfort grip and the strippers are sharp. At $12.00 the quality is a bit better than the price. So, you are getting a bit of a deal here. Perfect for around the house and a laypersons needs.

Summary: get the job done
Comments: These are excellent wire cutters. They have a soft, comfortable grip and do just what wire cutters should do: cut wires. The description says they are 10-24 AWG, however according the the box, they're actually 10-20 AWG (you can tell from the picture too). They are not insulated, so you shouldn't cut live wires with these, however that's not a big deal almost all of the time. Overall, a great tool. |
