## Questions & Answers

**Q: Made in?**
A: Germany

**Q: Can they strip Romex**
A: If the question is whether there is a feature to strip the outer jacket of Romex, the answer is no.  I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool.  Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed.  Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features.

**Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?**
A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up.

**Q: Are these spring loaded?**
A: Yes, the product features an internal spring.
