    Electrical Wire Strippers

    The plier nose on these wire strippers is useful for pulling and looping wire. All of these strippers are marked with their wire gauge sizes, so it’s easy to select the correct size.

    Tight-Space Squeeze-and-Strip Electrical Wire Strippers

    Because you insert wire from the front, you can use this tool in tight spaces. It has blades that automatically adjust to the wire size and an adjustable stop to set the strip length. It strips multiple wires with one squeeze.

    Tight-Space Electrically Insulating Electrical Wire Strippers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire and Cable Strippers. Tight-Space Electrically Insulating Electrical Wire Strippers.
    Since you insert wire from the front, these strippers are useful in tight spaces. The insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These strippers are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505.

    Armored Cable and Flexible Metal Conduit Strippers

    Strip armored cable, such as BX and MC cable, in addition to flexible metal conduit. Turn the crank to make a slit in the cable or conduit, then twist to remove the outer layer without damaging the wires inside or having to debur the ends. Strippers can cut at the end or middle of cable or conduit.

    Tools with a plier nose are useful for pulling and looping wire.
    Tools with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel tools are good for less frequent use. Their stripping blades dull more quickly than steel tools, but they resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly when stored.
