Klein Tools 11046 Wire Stripper, Wire Cutter for 16-26 AWG Stranded Wire, Compact Nose with Precision-Ground Stripping Holes, Made in USA

This is a review on Klein Tools wire strippers type 11046EP. These are excellent wire strippers from a trusted USA maker. As a hobby guitar stomp box builder, I mainly use 22 awg multi-stranded PTFE insulated wire which I pre-cut into relatively short lengths (1 to 6 inches). My automatic strippers (AB Mk1s, I have both vintage and new) will not strip this PTFE to any acceptable standard. These Kleins work fine, but very short lengths (1-inch) are difficult to hold. I get round the problem by using the basic Klein /Ideal style to pre-cut the PTFE and ABs to pull off. It’s a bit of a ‘mess on’ but it works. I’m fussy about the tools I use and these Kleins are as good as you’ll get.

This wire stripper isn't quite as refined as the KLE11055 that I also have (with the curved handles), but it's still a pleasure to use. The blades are extremely sharp and work well for both cutting and stripping. This is a great size for general domestic repair work where you may need to strip mains flex as well as ribbon cable and hookup wire on PCBs.

Well made

For the price I was expecting better quality

Works properly. Undecided whether I like the thicker handles.

Spelafili fatta bene, non ha giochi e la molla funziona bene. Verso lo snodo é presente una zona dove é possibile tagliare il cavo. Costa un po’ ma sembra che sia fatta per durare nel tempo

Great wire strippers!!! Excellent quality! I highly recommend if you want a high end tool.

Gut zum Abisolieren.

Super recomendables
