I'm looking for something compact enough to fit into a small toolkit case.** A: The wire cutter is 6" long, the width of the grip is about 3 5/8" not depressed, and at the tip is about 1 3/16" not depressed. The thickest section across the length is 5/8" in the grip area. These measurements are by sight with a ruler. **Q: Does it have a locking mechanism so it doesn't stay wide open?** A: Most of us who use this style of stripper... remove the spring so it doesn't self-open. It takes nothing to flick it open with your pinky or ring finger when you grab it. That auto-opening spring is annoying and it makes your forearm tired earlier in the day. Get rid of it. **Q: There is another set of numbers on the picture opposite the awg sizes. ie, 1.0. .75, .50, etc.what do these represent? thanks... bob** A: metric wire diameters 0.039"= 1mm ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools 11046 Wire Stripper, Wire Cutter for 16-26 AWG Stranded, Compact Nose with Precision-ground Stripping Holes, Made in USA - Klein Tools D275-5 Diagonal Flush Cutters, Micro Wire & Compact Zip Tie Cutter, Ultra-Slim Precision Flush Cutter for Work in Confined Areas, 5-Inch - Klein Tools 11049 Wire Stripper / Cutter, Made in USA, Compact, Lightweight, Hardened Steel, Precision Ground, for Stranded Wires --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1332289-klein-tools-11046-wire-stripper-wire-cutter-made-in-usa](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1332289-klein-tools-11046-wire-stripper-wire-cutter-made-in-usa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
