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.
Wire strippers with a voltage detector have a handle that flashes and beeps when it detects a live circuit.
Stainless steel strippers resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly as strippers with steel blades when stored. They're best for less frequent use because their blades dull more quickly than steel blades.

Confined-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.
Wire strippers with an angled handle give you an ergonomic grip when working on a table or workbench.
Replacement blades (sold separately) include both the upper and lower blades.

Comfort-Grip Electrical Cable Strippers
An ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and protects your knuckles from scrapes. Use these strippers to remove the outer insulation on cable. Since they have a ringing blade, they’re best for mid-span stripping. They create ring strips by cutting the insulation in a circular motion around the cable's diameter.

Electrical-Insulating Cable Stripping Knives
The handle and the back of the blade are insulated to protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These knives are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 or ASTM F1505.
Knives with a blade tip guide tuck under cable jackets to safeguard conductor insulation.

Building Cable Strippers
Remove the outer and inner insulation of NM-B building cable, commonly found inside your walls running power to light fixtures and switches. These strippers have a plier nose, which is useful for pulling and looping wire.
Strippers with a voltage detector have a handle that flashes and beeps when they detect a live circuit.
Stainless steel strippers resist corrosion and won't rust as quickly as strippers with steel blades when stored. They're best for less frequent use because their blades dull more quickly than steel blades.

Combination Electrical Wire Strippers and Crimpers
Strip wire and crimp connectors with one tool.
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 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.
