Electrical-Insulating Squeeze-and-Strip Electrical Wire Strippers

Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These wire strippers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Squeeze once to strip insulation and pull it off the wire.
