Electricians' Wire Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Additional features, such as wire terminal crimpers, enable you to perform a variety of electrical wiring and installation work with a single tool. Use these pliers to pull, bend, and cut wire.
Combination-jaw pliers have a curved area for round material in addition to flat jaws.
Cushion-grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort. Those 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.
Ultra-grip pliers have grips made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance.

Electric Wire Strippers



Insert wire between the heated tips to melt off insulation and strip without the risk of nicking the wire. Choose the output power on these wire strippers based on the material you’re removing. For example, use 10% power to remove PVC insulation or 55% power to remove PTFE.
These wire strippers sit on a stand, with an integrated handpiece holder on top to maximize work space and protect from burns. A blade removal plate lets users switch blades out of the handpiece without touching them.
