Works great for 10AWG and smaller. Doesn’t work at all for the 8 and 6 I have been using but maybe it’s because of the oil and gas resistant insulation? It just peels back the outer layer which makes it hard to get a clean fit in the breaker or terminal. Even if I try cutting through a bit first by spinning a knife or other strippers around, still won’t strip but maybe 1 out of 10 times for 8AWG and larger

i want to start with, this is a hi volume wire stripper, a professional tool made to strip wire daily. As a DYIer i feel like i do not use it enough. that said, I stripped every piece of wire I could find. WOW it did a great job. the self adjusting work perfectly, the cutter worked on all gauges of wire and the crimper is a nice feature. there are a few features i did not know about when i got it. there is a fine adjustment knob, and when set correctly, you can strip you outer insulator and go right to the wire insulator with no adjustments i striped a 12/2 wire with three squeezes, very cool also two conductor lamp cord can be stripped with one squeeze. this wire stripper is great, i love it.

Good quality, works great

Works as advertised.

Excellent very well constructed and ready to handle all your wiring needs, can’t wait to use this tool to rewire my 51 ford…

Works great!

STEELMAN 8-Inch Self-Adjusting Wire and Cable Stripper is a multi-tool for electricians and others doing this work around the house. It handles a wide range of wire sizes for insulation stripping from 8 AWG to thin 30 AWG in thicknesses. Will cut wires and cable from 10 AWG to 24 AWG. I’m now seeing this style of wire stripper more around lately with different brands and all similar. The tool is an improvement from older style wire strippers that you’ve been using. The risk of nicking the wire is eliminated especially with smaller threaded wire, this is more a problem. The business end of the stripper are two clamps on top that hold both sides of the wire as you squeeze the handle to pull off the insulation. It has a red plastic stop feature to adjust the stripper that sets the length to remove insulation back from the wire end. It automatically adjusts for wire thickness and with the smallest wire gauges has a micro adjustment knob, if needed. What surprised me is I was even able to strip a wire pair of speaker wires at the same time.The advantage of this tool is once its setup it can be repeated again and again on more wires. I did notice in using it on all wire thicknesses you have to check that any of the wire insulation bits are removed from the jaws as it will interfere with the next cut. Its a small matter. As you are not usually cutting only one wire at a time, the tool is a time saver, doing more precise stripping and less frustration. The tool in addition has a wire cutter and several crimpers for different size terminals. It also has soft rubbery like material covering the handle for comfort. I’ve done this type of work on the job and its really a handy one tool. It will easily handle wires sizes found in homes and the work place. Its a good addition to your toolbox.
