Customers find the wire stripper works well, particularly with small wires and 16-gauge speaker wire, and appreciate its quality and value for money. The tool is easy to use and serves as a time-saver, with one customer noting it makes their job as an automotive technician hundreds of times easier. While some customers say it holds up well, others report it will break soon, and several mention the jaw is too loose.

Fantastic - sturdy and reliable!
I've had these for 22 years! Same model just different looking handles. I've had no problems with parts coming loose or springs breaking. Their action feels the same as when they were new. They strip big and small. As big as the large orange extension cord jacket to tiny wire smaller than 22 gauge. ***Here's a tip for really small gauge/delicate wire: Position it at the very front edge of the jaws. (As opposed to all the way back against the cams). Shallow = lighter grip. This avoids breaking any actual wires inside. Medium and large gauge stuff will work anywhere in the jaws though. They're also longer and skinnier than other strippers I have. You can reach them into a small space, grab the wire and strip it without having to use your other hand. And I like this design because you can easily see the wire from the side, so you know exactly where you're about to strip even in a tight spot.

    Work fantastic.
     I got these at the same time I purchased a pair from Cornwell and a pair from snap on.  
    These are literally the only pair that did not give me a headache of wallet ache. 
     The Cornwell one literally broke on the first use, and so did its replacement.  The snap on one was just insanely priced (as we all know.)
    Side note: if your left-handed like myself, flip them upside down.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for hobbyist. I'll never go back to razor blades.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great, inexpensive cable stripper.

    I don't do electronics for a living, so this only gets called on a few times a month for small projects, mostly Arduino or RC multicopters. And for that job, the price is right and it's very functional. I've had no problems with wires as small as RC servo leads or as big as 16 AWG solid core.

    My one complaint is it's hard to be really precise about how much you're about to strip, because of the way the pulling head and cutting head move apart a little before they both engage. But on the other hand, this NEVER mangles the actual copper, which I did constantly when I was using a razor or gentle pressure with offset cutters. So it's a big step up from doing the job "by hand."

    The old wire strippers I had were about useless because they had been used so much and were old. I have always liked the automatic ones like these so I figured I'd give them a try. They showed up on time and I immediately tried them out on pieces of scrap wire that I had laying around and I love how easily and smoothly they work. I use them almost daily and have been using them like this for months now and they are showing no signs of wear and tear. I would recommend these to anybody.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017

    They do the job very well and are thinner then most competition products. With constant use, either screws back out or springs make their escape. Once it starts to wear out, you start to rip thinner wires.

    i have been mechanic over 10 years, this is by far the best wire stripper i have ever used. wire stripper only, i prefer something else for crimping the wire. but still i give this tool 5 star
    tool is very easy to use, and get into some tight space, the stripper head is lot smaller then Irwin wire stripping tool with the same design, the Irwin one the head is very big, if you are trying to strip limited length wire or in very tight space that Irwin tool is nearly useless, with GS-394, i have no problem doing either task.
    it is very good, my co-workers used once and asked me to get one for them.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022

    The strippers arrived with missing components. What was attached was very loose fitting. Overall the tolerances between components is extremely ill fitting, the whole thing is crap. Although G&B is not the best quality, I have used their tools for 30+ years, this is by far the biggest pile of junk I have experienced from them.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Order fulfiller keeps substituting a less expensive model
    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    First off, the GS-394 is a good tool. I also have an older version with the original Milwaukee SE-94 model number that can strip #30 gauge wire. My main complaint and the reason for the low rating has to do with the company that is fulfilling the order for Gardner Bender. The company that is fulfilling the orders keeps sending the GS-395 which is a less expensive model by several dollars. The GS-395 model is not as effective at stripping wiring. I have reported them to Amazon and also contacted Gardner Bender about the substitution.
