Review: This tool really works and I am happy I bought it. - This is a very nice wire stripper/cutter. I use this all the time now. Makes stripping wires for solder jobs a breeze. I highly reccomend. I have used it for 12 gage Nomex and it strips the outer casing right off and then the individual wires too. I also use it for my electric guitar builds with 18-22 gage wire stranded or solid.
Review: A "Must-Have" for Vehicle Upfits and Complex Wiring Hubs - If you have ever spent an afternoon stripping dozens of wires for a central power block or a relay board, you know how quickly hand fatigue sets in with traditional manual strippers. I added these Klein Tools 11061 self-adjusting strippers to my kit specifically for a professional vehicle upfit, and they have completely changed my workflow. Effortless Speed and Precision The self-adjusting mechanism is a massive time-saver. When you're moving between 12 AWG power leads for a siren and 22 AWG signal wires for a lightbar controller, not having to hunt for the right "notch" in the tool is huge. You just insert the wire, squeeze, and it pulls a clean strip every single time without nicking the copper strands. It’s consistent, repeatable, and significantly faster than manual alternatives. Built for Professional Environments These are true "Klein" quality—heavy-duty and built to last. I’ve used them in cramped footwells and inside server racks where you don't have much room to maneuver, and the tension thumb wheel allows you to fine-tune the stripping force for different insulation types. The Cutter: The built-in wire cutter is surprisingly sharp and handles 10-22 AWG with ease, allowing you to trim and strip with one tool in your hand. The Adjustable Stopper: If you need a consistent strip length for terminal blocks or crimp connectors, the adjustable depth stopper is a great feature that ensures a professional, uniform finish across the entire project. Ergonomics and Grip The handles are well-padded and provide plenty of leverage. Even after stripping wires for a full 12-circuit fuse block, I didn’t experience the usual palm soreness. The tool feels balanced and "industrial" rather than flimsy, which is exactly what I need for gear that is going to be tossed in a duty bag or a workshop drawer. Final Thoughts For basic household repairs, these might be overkill, but for anyone doing professional automotive electrical work, security equipment installations, or complex hobbyist electronics, they are an essential investment. They provide a level of speed and professional consistency that manual strippers simply can’t match.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used the Irwin 2078300 Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper? How do they compare?**
A: I don't have the Klein, but the Irwin's would strip well when wires have no outer jacket, like a TW wire. With THHN or THWN, which have outer jackets it slips off. You need to nick a THHN with another wire stripper before the Irwin's would grab & strip it. For small gauge wires like AWG 18-22, the Irwin's were excellent.

**Q: HI witch country is made  klein ?   this better or neiko ? or similar both?**
A: I have the Neiko and that’s why I’m looking at these. The new Neiko strippers are absolute TRASH. I sent them back.

**Q: What's Klein Tools Warranty for this product?**
A: 1 year according to Klein Tools site

**Q: These are rated for 10-22 gauge but can they strip 8 gauge?**
A: I have some 8 gauge 133/29 tinned Marine copper wire with a PVC jacket. The 8 GA. marine wire with PVC jacket didn't slip right in from the side needed to be pushed in from the front.

The first strip was fairly bad, wire was uneven and developed bird cages. However the second strip went much better and the stranded wire was straight. However were the stripper cut into the PVC insulation on both side of the wire the cut wasn't straight 90 degrees, the insulation was cut a wedge shape on both sides of the wire. so there's a gap approx. 1/8" that wedge shape from the wire to the full diameter of the insulation.  Though it may work to install a connector it's not considered in the trade to be a viable strip. The stripper needs to cut the insulation at 90 degrees from the wire so a when installing a connector there no gap between the insulation and connector terminal.

So I would have to answer NO it won't,  at least on some 8 gauge wire and insulation. 

The wire I tried stripping is 8 AWG AWM style 1029 or AWM style 1231 E73051 105C 600 volts VW-1 CSA TEW AWM T A/6 1050 600 VOLT  FT1 LL45926 

Sold as 8ga Stranded Tinned Copper (133/29) UL1028, TEW, PVC Primary Wire 

 TEW stands for Thermoplastic Equipment Wire

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best wire stripper I've ever used.
*by T***G on May 2, 2026*

Fast, easy, convenient wire stripper. Best is class I suspect. For multiple decades I've used much lesser tools to wire strip include pocket knifes and the combo tool wire cutter with stripper. This tool excels in it's single purpose. Handles many gauges of wire flawlessly. Glad I bought it. Expensive and worth it.
