Review: Great product! - Small and handy exactly what I need in a wire stripper! Review: Works well. You may want model with a spring. - This is like the most basic of wire strippers but does the job. FWIW, electrical wire itself is not as hard as wire for a spring or piano or such. Those hard wires may damage this tool (I have not tried). This tool is great for simple electrical wire. I have good results with both solid core and stranded. Good Things -Small, light, thin. -Can be locked (via screw) to work with a specific gauge of wire -Rivet on pivot will not get lost -Really cheap, if you lose it you're not out $$$ -Finish appears to resist corrosion -Has cutting & stripping areas on tool (most people prefer separate tools, but this works for both) Bad Things -Rivet on pivot (cannot be tightened, replaced etc) -No label for gauge sizes, may not be a big thing for you -Small, if you have big hands this tool may be too small -No spring on the model I chose. Most tools like this 'spring' open, check your model # -No fixed strip length, probably not expected on this cheap of a tool, but better ones to have it ## Features - This wire stripper is compact and light, great for stripping insulation - Stripper / Cutter with hole for looping or bending wire conveniently - Cuts, strips, loops and bends 12-26 AWG solid and 14-28 AWG stranded wire - Adjustable slide stop with set screw for repeat stripping work - Made in USA - Black-oxide finish with plastic-dipped handles - DO NOT use to cut steel wire or bolts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V6W5QU | | Best Sellers Rank | 495,018 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1,218 in Wire Strippers | | Brand | KLEIN TOOLS | | Colour | Yellow | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 644 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00092644740008 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Handle material | Plastic | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24.4L x 9.7W centimetres | | Item Length | 5 Inches | | Item Type Name | Klein Tools 1003 Wire Stripper and Cutter for Solid and Stranded Wire, Compact | | Item Weight | 0.2 Ounces | | Item weight | 0.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Klein Tools | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 1003 | | Part Number | 1003 | | Product dimensions | 24.4L x 9.7W centimetres | | UPC | 092644740008 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Usage | Professional | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KLEIN TOOLS - **Colour:** Yellow - **Handle material:** Plastic - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 24.4L x 9.7W centimetres ## Images ![Klein Tools 1003 Wire Stripper and Cutter for Solid and Stranded Wire, Compact, Made in USA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mDeGvSaDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product! *by B***S on 4 July 2019* Small and handy exactly what I need in a wire stripper! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well.
