German strippers are the best strippers.

This is one of the best Knipex tools I own as a homeowner. At this price I'm considering a second one because I love it so much. I don't use it daily at home, obviously, but get so much satisfaction using it and that makes it worth the splurge for me.

The words you used "probably won't break" is the key :-)
Anyone who is serious should have a backup for each tool.

I would just buy the Snap On version PWCS7ACF for $60. It is only $16 more.

>can crimp, but can't cut screws and would probably struggle cutting thicker stuff like NM-B wiring

It just depends on your needs. Snap-on generally tends to be more oriented towards automotive.

These Knipex do lack the crimpers (one great reason to keep the $20-30 Milwaukees around), but they do everything else exceptionally well.. they're good forged/hard steel, with nice tight tolerances, and a good shearing action for cutting - and great pliers functions that are helpful for home/vehicle wiring work like pulling/twisting wire, especially modern NM-B.

Oh I got several Knipex pliers sitting right next to all my Snap On pliers. Just on these pliers I'd spend the extra.

Quote from UpbeatKnob539 :
I have this and the much cheaper Milwaukee that looks similar. Both are amazing tools and probably my two most used pliers for residential electrical work. The Knipex blades are more durable, but the Milwaukee is still absolutely worth getting and will be fine for homeowners. If using for work regularly, get this Knipex.
I work on home appliances for a living and have the similar Milwaukee offering. It works great, though the steel does get nicked easily in the cutter section making it open and close less smoothly. If I didn't have the Milwaukee already (and if I didn't just buy a KNIPEX mini water pump wrench and 7 1/4" alligator wrench), I'd jump on this in a heartbeat. Still considering buying this and keeping the Milwaukee as a backup, but it's not even every day on the job that I need wire strippers tbh

KNIPEX are just so reliable and enjoyable to use.

I hate you Slickdeals. In 4 1 because I'm going to use it tomorrow and my current automatic stripper stinks (although it does technically work).

I'll help you out bud!~ its kind of lowest price in years and they rare go on sale. Buying nice tools sometimes is just worth it to enjoy those moments when you do get to just 'strip wires' or 'twist something'. Does everyone need this tool, oh hell no-- e.g. klein wire strippers are amazing and cost 1/3 of the price even with these on sale. But there's something legit satisfying snipping sh*t with knipex, its buttery smooth and clippy Big Grin. If you know, you know. Let the hater's hate, some people just aren't into hand tools, nbd

Buy now, think later-- aka once you have them in your hands. I bet you'll be glad you bought them! If you change your mind, free return amazon. Easy as pie.
