    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.

    Steel—Steel strippers stay sharp with continuous use.
    Stainless Steel—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.

    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.

    Squeeze-and-Strip Building Cable Strippers

    With just a squeeze, strip and remove outer insulation from your cable. These strippers require less effort than standard strippers or stripping knives because you don’t need to manually peel the insulation. The blade automatically adjusts to the outer diameter of your cable to remove a layer of insulation. They’re often used on NM-B cable (also known as Romex) since you can strip the cable jacket and the insulation on the individual wires without changing settings in between. Turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune the position of the blades so you don’t nick inner insulation, thin wires, or stranded wire. Set your strip length with the stop for consistent strips across multiple cables.

    Combination Jaw—Use the flat area of the jaws for general purpose gripping and the curved portion for round material.
    Cushion Grip—Absorb pressure to make gripping and squeezing the handles more comfortable. They also add slip resistance for a secure hold.
    Ultra Grip—Shaped for maximum comfort and slip resistance. These pliers reduce strain to prevent cramping and soreness during repetitive tasks and long work days.

    Tight-Space Building Cable Strippers

    Angled jaws let you insert building cable into the front of these strippers, so they’re useful in tight spots, such as inside electrical boxes. These tools remove the outer and inner insulation of NM-B cable. It’s the cable you’ll often find inside your walls running power to light fixtures and switches.
