Are there any good ? Bought a pair . Ive had 3 pair of Napa brand that lasted about one day each pair had a pair of harbor freight and they rattled themselves to death in the tool box .

Klein tools are professional grade, Do it. I would wrap them in a towel or a small used purse from salvation army or? Jim

Thats an idea Ive never thought of before

While I have no experience with this particularly type of stripper, I do have many other types of Klein strippers that work well. My electrical/lineman tool box is filled with Klein tools. All my linemen use Klein tools daily. We wouldnt have any other brand of tools working professionally. Klein Tools is the electrical standard of tools. Still owned by the Klein family.

Santa brought me my last pair of Klein strippers.
I love them. Have a pair of strippers in each pole barn.
And a pair of 9 inch wire crimpers for my old arthritic fingers.

The thing I like about these theres no adjustments to make . Hopefully theyll last a long time

I had a friend who was a lineman and he was a Klein man . I see on the website they make punches and chisels

Agree with no adjustments.
A good chance I'll misplace my strippers before they wear out.
That's what happened to my first pair.

FWIW I have an OLD well used set of Kleins and they are still like new condition and work perfect !! In addition most all the professional electricians under me preferred Kleins

Im sure there are other good quality brands, to each THEIR own experiences and opinions........

Those should work very well for a long time with just a little care. Klein tools are generally very good tools.

I have a pair that work exactly the same as those that I bought back in the mid-1970's and did a LOT of electrical work with them over the years. I still have them, and they still work as good as they did 45+ years ago. I bought those at Radio Shack.

Klain is to electricians what Snap-On is to mechanics.

I hadnt seen that kind before . Knipex has one like that its almost 200$

Muir hill 101 · Mar 24, 2023

Thats kind of what I got the impression of from the people who are electricians

Muir hill 101 · Mar 24, 2023

I sure hope they will last

I was really surprised to find Klein at my local ace they used to only have ace brand and gardener bender brands . Ace isnt a bad tool to buy they have an excellent warranty

i have a pair of those Kleins. they are fantastic with romex, but have issues with some wire types that use multi-layered insulation, and tend to only pull the outer layer off. they were given to me new by a friend, who had bought them and didn't like them. i'm sure this is why.
