5.0 out of 5 stars Great for automotive, but not for house wiring, December 7, 2007

As a former car stereo/alarm installer, these have been the best strippers I've used. One reason is because under the dash, there are many times you have so little room to work with. These strippers will grab the tip of the wire and strip it off with ease. That means if you have almost no clearance, you can still strip the wire. And you can also strip multiple wires of the same size at the same time by just lining them up inside the jaws and squeeze away.

This stripper is not good for very thick wires (I'm talking 10 gauge or thicker) or very thin wires as it can easily take some extra strands off the thin wire. However, any good installer will have more than one wire stripper to do a specific job. This stripper is definitely one that should be included in your toolbox.

Don't even think of trying to strip solid wire (i.e. home wiring) with this stripper. It's only good for stranded wire.

This review is from: Automatic Wire Stripper with Cutter (Electronics)

I recently upgraded my home entertainment system. New TV, new receiver, speakers, etc etc. I'm a newbie to all this sort of stuff but there were two things I knew for sure: 1) I wanted surround sound speakers mounted behind me and 2) I didn't have the tools/supplies to be able to do so.

First order of business was to order extra long (and quality) speaker wires. Buying those speakers made me realize I had nothing to cut/strip them with. So after some research on Amazon, I came up on this product. As I do with many of my products on Amazon, I make my purchases based upon the reviews it has received. This particular wire stripper seemed worthwhile.

As a newbie, I would have to say this stripper exceeds my expectations. I love how easily it strips through 16-gauge wires. I also love that it has cutters built in (but I'm sure other models have the same). It made installing my satellite speakers a snap. In fact, I so thoroughly enjoyed it that I decided to rewire all the other speakers for my receiver.

I think this product would have been much much better if it was 25% smaller (in case I need to get into smaller spaces) but it worked out for me. Would I recommend this specific model to a friend? Yep!

On a single 5.1 installation, these things will be worth their price 10x over! You have to fiddle with the adjustment a little, but they do exactly what they are supposed to without doing too much damage to the strands. I can't imaging trying to use it on Romex, haha, but on heavy gauge (12awg) speaker wire, these things are a million times better than even a good traditional wire stripper.
