IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripper, Self-Adjusting, 8-Inch (2078300), Blue/Yellow

I bought these Irwin strippers mostly based on other reviews but also because they looked slightly better from the photos. I based this mostly on how clear the stamped writing looked since cheap tools often are badly stamped. I am not a professional now but I was for many years so I have a pretty good idea when tools are good quality and these are pretty good. There seem to be a load of wire strippers all looking identical so it's hard to tell if it's worth paying the extra for 'Brand' name items like these but I think I did the right thing buying them as the strippers I received seem to be high quality and so far are working well. I don't think they would be suitable for heavy gauge solid core mains wire but hopefully nobody would be daft enough to buy them for that kind of use. They are probably not meant to be used for removing the outer insulation of 3 core flex either but I tried it and it worked so.... In summery as a wise man said buy cheap and buy twice. These are not crazy expensive but not the cheapest so hopefully will give years of service.

Fabulous job

I took the plunge and bought these wire strippers having constantly been battling with the pull type ones. They are fantastic, makes stripping all types of wire such a breeze. Did take some practise to start with to get the hang of them. They are now my go too tool. The extra functions like the cutters and crimping bits are very handy too if you only have the one tool to hand or forget your proper crimpers. I have a lot of Irwin Vise Grip tools because of their robustness, which these fit in very well.

Does the job takes off every outer sheath that fits inside of it, but sometimes nicks certain cable cores its not the biggest problem happens once in a while, its worth the price and efficiency of the tool anyway

My god as soon as you operate them you can feel the quality over the cheaper versions. I'm glad i bought this pair as my original cheap set are absolute rubbish, buy cheap, but twice is the saying, so yeah i do recommend these

So much easier on the hands and does the job so quickly and easily, especially the outer covering which I find the hardest bit. Great tool. Correos - nice to see our postman - nice smoooooooth delivery!!!!! Thank you Amazon

I spent most of my life stripping wire with a knife whenever I needed to, cutting my fingers, removing half the copper wire, snapping the wire, whatever. This was a luxury purchase for me, I'm not rich and I rarely strip any wire but I don't regret buying them as they work so well. You can set the length to strip and then it is just close them, they spring back open and it is done. If you need them then this is a good make, I did my research. Hope it helps.

When they work, they work well. I've had too many instances where it just won't strip. The wire is clean, the tension is maxed out, and I still run into issues. I can't rely on them so I'm always turning to my Knipex auto-strippers.

I purchased this product after watching it's video on You Tube . I loved it esp as a DIY user . Now you need not struggle with wire stripping process and cutting is very clean and effortless. You can strip multiple wire easily. It's costly as it is imported from USA and not made in China

Facile a utilisé aussi bien pour les travaux électriques que électronique.

Excelente herramienta para pelar cables, la calidad es muy buena con buenos acabados, he visto otras marcas físicamente y está es de las mejores, me ha resultado muy funcional

Works beautifully, it even cuts pretty good

Álles kleiner dan 2,5 mm² slipt. Deze standaardmaat kun je alleen strippen door tang op zijn strakst in te stellen. Het mesje is niet vervangbaar. Grote lompe tang die in de weg ligt tov mijn andere elektra gereedschap. IkDit product is een dure gimmick.
