IDEAL Electrical 45-025 Lil Ripper Stripper Wire Stripper w/ Slitting Blade, V-Notch, Flat Blade Clip

I purchase this to rip open electrical wiring, but did not realize its much more, It can wire strip, cut off the plastic shielding, and bend shepherds hooks. I ended up using this tool more than any other. I highly recommend this. It will save you a lot of time and effort

Great little tool

These are great little tools for stripping lots of romex, I particularly like them for panel boxes. There is a slight learning curve but nothing too difficult. Great for residential guys or dyi-ers.

Very easy to use and comes in handy for stripping wires already in a box.

I found this difficult to use. However a friend helping me wire my basement lights did find it useful. One has to be careful when pushing the wire through to cut the sheathing on the electrical cable. It can easily push into your hand if not held correctly, and then can also get held up by the paper around the ground cable. My friend found this very useful, but he was also careful to not push it into his hand. Note that one cuts the sheathing going into the cable not pulling away. I don't like that it puts a little indent into the wire when stripping the wire for a connection not a big deal just not something I like. I will put it back in the box and give it to Restore to sell since I don't need it anymore. Reasonably priced and was helpful that is why 3 stars

Great Tool, efficient , strips Romex so fast.

I waited far too long to pick this up! Every time I did some minor electrical work, added a circuit, or moved an outlet, I wished I had this tool. Now that I have it, i wish I got it earlier.

I had specifically bought this tool because it advertised that it can strip "FLAT WIRE..." I do a lot of work on repairing, and replacing appliance electric cords, which is primarily made up of "FLAT WIRE..." I'd normally cut into the flat wire with a razorblade. When I've seen this tool, I thought that it would make the job go a whole lot easier. Needless to say I was wrong. This tool was a complete waste of my time, and money. After trying unsuccessfully to strip the wire jacket; I ended up having to go back to using a razorblade. Because of this tool I'm not sure if I have it in me to want to take a chance on purchasing a different flat wire stripper, unless I can see one being used in the field and actually working.
