For the money, these are good for a lot of quick work. They'll struggle with older or stiff sheaths.

My only advice is to not try and push the wire against the length stopper or you'll be readjusting it constantly. The length adjustment stoppers on strippers with this design always seem to come loose, even on my Klein Tools 11061 which have a metal stopper.

knipex won't sell you a fart for eight dollars - it's all 30-40 on a good day. reason will be tolerances and materials.

I have on of these by different mfg. Works great, MUCH better than any other stripper I've owned.
What I can't figure is why a purely manual stripper got several +1 with a price tag of some $45 !?
What's Slick about that?

What's different about the design? Looks the same to me.

I've been waiting on a deal for either the Irwin or Klein version of this tool, but those both generally run around $25. Also wondering if these knock-offs are as good (general DIY purposes), feedback appreciated.

This style of stripper take up a lot of room and not really well suited to be near the electrical box. A quality stripper like this would be awesome in an environment where you're doing a ton of wires a day, like pre construction, stripping cat 6, etc.

A well made "purely manual" stripper is quick and easy to use in tight spaces. Tolerances are near perfect, cutting edges are sharp, the tool auto opens so it requires minimal effort and they're ergonomic. Lots of electricians prefer this style of tool, actually.

That being said, I have "purely manual" strippers from Irwin since most of my work is replacing outlets and switches with minimal wire available. They're a tad on the thin side but otherwise well made. Since the scope of work is the house and I only do a few at a time i didn't think it was worth paying multiples more for better tools or specialty tools. But if I were an electrician or a low voltage tech using these tools every day for sure I'd buy the pro level stuff.

I got a no-name one a while back after seeing it on SD and it couldn't strip wire. So I bought a branded one instead - don't recall offhand if it was Klein or Irwin (definitely not a high end brand like Knipex) and it worked fine. So from a very small sample size, my conclusion is that the no-name ones are hit or miss and the branded ones are more likely to work. But it could also just be entirely due to chance.

That's not Amazon Basics.

I gotta think Amazon might do slightly better quality control and research with something they'll put their name on.

At least more than Nionio…..a brand that hardly even made the first results page of google.

My family gave me the Irwin set 10 years + ago. I've loved them since. It's a pretty well known fact and very obvious that copyrights and intellectual property doesn't really matter anymore. Being said I can see the "new improvements" and that doesn't matter for crap if their still made from crappy materials and even crappier manufacturing processes.

But all in all my hypocritical self is still wanting these. 😄 🤣

I got the Irwin stripper like this some years ago for boat trailer stuff and it's been awesome. I could never get consistent strip or length with the old style or I would cut the wire especially on some of the smaller gauges. This did the trick. Gives a nice clean strip and the length is always consistent, so bare wire isn't protruding from the connection. I may grab this one just for a back-up.

It's Amazon Basics....not Craftsman.....I've had to return all sorts of AB things that I bought that ended up not working.
