Well, this is the first video to explain the micro adjuster. Well done.

One of the best tools I've bought. Got my dad, a retired lifetime sparky to use them the other day and he wishes they had them in his day! Though he can strip wire perfectly well with side cutters of course after 50 odd years of doing it. But for someone who does quite a lot of wiring but not full time like me, these are great.

I've just bought some as I have 46 halogen ceiling downlights to replace with LED and as a clumsy diy'er it's taking me more time than it should to strip the cables. Bought them first, saw this video, practised and am now eager to get on with the job! Thanks.

Thanks, a friend gave me this to help strip some cables and wasn't sure how it worked. This got me up and running. Very clear.

Thank you. I was struggling with stripping smaller cables until I seen this video and you mentioned the press down . Thanks for the useful video.

Mine arrived today and you just showed me how to prepare my speaker cable. Thanks mate.

Bought these two days ago because of your video, can’t believe how good they are, great bit of kit.

I must say that is probably the best tool I've ever seen. Fantastic!

I just got the Irwin pair. Love it. You showed me some tricks that will make my life easier though. I'm a DIY guy, not an electrician, but I understand it well enough. We have an ancient house, (mobile home, actually), that we're upgrading all the wall outlets and switches. Half of these wall sockets have a hornets nest of wires in the box and the receptacles they used were the cheapest they could get their hands on. Surprised we haven't had a fire.

Great bloke Pouse. I brought these through your recommendation. Great bit of kit.

Back again just to remind myself how to use the wire stripper, it's been a while. Thank you for a great informative video. Now, back to fitting my chandelier....

informative video,thanks very much,i am doing some electrical work at home at the moment and thought about these strippers,I've ordered a pair now ,thanks again

That was great, thanks. Simple to understand explanation. 👍🏻

Can wait for my to come.Thanks for sharing

Great video. i had no idea how to use the strippers. Thank you!

Great review thanks

This is a great video, and essential because there are no instructions with them, thanks.

Excellent. Thank you

Spot on. Thanks for making!

Excellent video for a thorough explanation. Thank you very much. (Australia)

Another GOOD video. Thanks

Nice review and tutorial

great for stripping small bits of cable, any suggestions on affordable ways of stripping my broken 50m extension lead to maximise the scrap value of the copper as cutting in to bits and stripping will take ages. have been stripping with a knife but slow going so far. I'm thinking a scraper blade screwed into a piece of wood with a shallow channel cut in to it which i then drag the cable through - but i'm open to suggestions (not burning!). Great video btw.

in the US theyre branded as irwin vise grip , nice affordable set of strippers.i also got a separate set of crimpers because the lack of leverage and awkwardness of the crimper on the handle, they work but not as good as a dedicated crimper.

8 quid on Amazon... needed this video to know how they work tho.. they look more complicated then they are.. thanks for the upload

just bought one of these to do cable for a van build cable with outer casing on is to big to fit in any way to adjust them ?

Thank you very much! I've just spent 10minutes wasting my time trying to work these out in my workshop. Your video, short, to the point and very clear. Thanks again.

Useful video pouse

The adjustable dial does that only adjust the cutting stripping side or both the grip and cut strip sides ?

Cheers mate great explanation.

thanks for your video

Can you please show how the crimper works for us amateur diy'ers? I don't understand the difference between them and how to use them. First up which side do you actually place the wire on the yellow dot side? Also most terminals are insulated correct? Therefore you would mainly use the top crimper where the three coloured dots are correct?

Can these be used to strip three core double insulation 1.5 and 2.5 square milimetre round cables ?

I like watching your videos because you use cool music

Very nice bro

What it the round screw thingy for? What does it do, and how do I use it?

Do you feel that you need to hold down the crimp lugs at the top?

Very helpful. Screwfix is now £25, Toolstation £19

Wish they had left handed versions of these. Still super handy

When I second fix on price I brake one a month. If you constantly stripping whires its really messing up your heands. Im looking for a stripping tool like that but battery powered that'll be a game changer.

nice tool

Top video this

had the choice to buy these or the stanley ones from screwfix and bought these based on your review. Thanks!

Is there a battery powered version?

Just got one for £7 in lidl sweet deal.

very fast demo my friend

I’ve got these and found they can can catch the internal core wires from stripping the outer sheath

I was shit scared of touching house wiring until i saw your video's lol! You explain things really well, you've defo got a sub out of me! L8rs t8rs 👍

How to the crimper?

just found these on ebay for £7. only need them for one job, will have to give them to my dad when i'm done with them, he's a radio ham so he'll find them useful

Hello, professional sparky here. Bought these the other day Awesome tool for flex. Works great on t&e also. The wire cutter is utter shite. A pair of paper scissors would do a better job. Uneven cut and normally doesn't cut all the way through. Unless you've got builders hands, you won't be using the crimp option. I would love a shorter version without the crimping and better wire cutter.

I don't think they are designed to take the grey insulation off, just the conductor insulation.

I have had these a while but I hardly ever use them as they are useless, at least mine are, always takes 3 or 4 attempts to remove the outer layer of 1.5 mm^2 cable, its never accurate and ends up leaving rips all over the inside cables. I replaced them with quickwire strippers and they are way easier and more accurate then the C.K cable imo.

It doesn’t work with really fat cables though can you please tell me a fatter wire stripper?

Ta ta feel well ... 😎

Exact same stripper is currently on amazon for £6.99 :)

Is this good for removing insulation from very very thin wires.

Picked one up from Lidl for a Yul Brenner!

is this applicable for THHN wire ?

They dont seem to like cutting the outer sheath of flat two core cable. great video though

You don't have to press the clamps; it does that for you. Just position the cable(s) and squeeze the handles.

My experience of these is the same as some other reviewers, good for stripping sheath but stripping cores pretty poor, the cutters are worse than everything else in my toolbox.

I've got a pair of these and they're useless. They rip the cable apart so I've given up with them. How come everyone says they're so good?

Where was the ‘how to crimp with this tool ‘ info ?

Nice product but you get a huge markup in UK and USA. 4 pounds I paid for exactly same product on Lazada. It's all made in China and Screwfix charges you 400% to 500% for you to buy in their store. Nice!

It's great, but I think because I'm heavy handed I managed to break mine.

Just bought a pair for a house renovation 🙈 £13 from Bezos 🙄

As every video not explained about knob to regulated strength

Seems ideal for electricians, but for any cables which need to be presentable like guitar and mic leads, this doesn't seem a good tool. Leaves marks and nicks.

0:46 "In, press, squeeze"... Why do you need to keep 'pressing' the jaws down, watch other videos, these look faulty! 🤔

Great tool, although the cutter is absolute fhite... also the micro-adjustment works but seems to automatically undo itself over time.

The wire stripper is using your left index finger to hold the jaws, otherwise the wire slips. It is a POS tool.

God I feel so stupid for realising you can move that wire length piece...

You can't strip the outer sheath at the box As you can't get in close enough to the top of the back box OK for stripping the conductors but then you might as well just use side cutters to strip both the outer sheath and the conductors, wast of money

Dont buy it if you are left handed

waste of money. very weak metal. It broke with the first 10 mm wire.
