They all strip but a pair of strippers needs to do more than strip.They must loop, close the loop bend, latch shut, cut. If you have to switch tools, to be more efficient then your using the wrong tool for the job
all of these tools are pro grade

I love my Knipex and don't really have a problem with the cutters not opening enough, since they cut amazingly. I actually love the wire loop it makes better than any other stripper. To make the wire loop on the Knipex it's not the screw cutter holes, but at the tip of the head, there is noticeable groove where a wire can rest in without getting damaged, then bend over the side. It makes a pretty tight loop.

Some are very proud of doing all their wire stripping by just the right presure applied to thier linesman pliers. They swear by this and say it's like an aquired taste, and no need for wire strippers.Seems like this is the view of a lot of Journeyman electricians.

very true but the honeymoon wears off when push comes to shove and time is a factor repetitive tasks you must have strippers your wasting valuable time eventually every 1 comes around and matures

I hate the grips on the Kleins, they become tacky after awhile. I like the Milwaukee pliers and strippers. Knipex is on a class of its own.

recently did a review of the knipex 13 72 8 and small note is instead of using the 6-32 hole, there is a cut-out in the lineman head made for your looping needs. it seems to be perfectly sized for 12 awg solid but I haven't tried 10 awg i'd assume it would be fine. Spoiler alert I really dislike adjusting my grip to open that cutter

I feel the same way over the Knipex i hate having to have to open them all the way up to cut anything

The only ones in the comparison I haven't used are the Croc's. With that, the tool is only as good as the person using it. And it all comes down to proficiency. That being said, after having the Knipex for however long they've been out. They are the strippers I keep going back to. I really prefer their cuter for cutting and stripping larger wire. And for whatever they fit into my workflow the best

I use a Klein 11057 stripper for my electronic projects (mostly 22AWG) and it's perfect.

I've cut 8/3 range wire with my knipex forged strippers definitely no t designed for that because after they were hard to open because the force tightened the pivot screw re adjusted it and got back to workthey have been great for me for over a year now

I cut 8/3 and 6/2 with my Knipex but never had issues with them locking up

Out 0f 4 I'd go with klien than crocs I remove the spring let gravity open them. I hold the strippers with wire in between pointer and middle finger when stripping wire. I've found it works best for me as can spin strippers to get good claen cut on insulation. I'm not an electrician usually when strip wires it's stranded wire for automotive and trailer applications.

@oscarschofield-wx3eo 6 ай бұрын

Electrician here, try not to spin your strippers, especially when it’s stranded as it will score your wire and result in a higher chance of cutting some of the strands off which results in said wire no longer being rated for its intended use. Just one clean cut and keep your wire cutters straight while removing the sheath, never angled as that’s not how the cutting edge on the stripper is designed to work.

@@oscarschofield-wx3eowhat about when you make the cut, i've heard some people say make the cut at a 45° angle then turn the strippers to perpendicular to force seperation of jacket before pulling the jacket off?

@oscarschofield-wx3eo 5 ай бұрын

@@miles13242 making the cut can be done at 45, I was referring to removing the insulation after the cut. But it shouldn’t be needed unless you have old or loose strippers.
