Didn't work for me at all with the KnuKonceptz Kord Kable 12 Gauge. It grabs on the sheath and was never able to sever it and ended up stretching the sheath. The wire cutter also didn't cut clean. Totally useless for me.

Mine did work then it stopped grabbing

I had these for a few years now. They are ok bur really only ok especially with thinner cables. the plastic length adjustment of course broke very early. Any quality tool you would be able to buy this part but not fore these. I would not buy them again.

Same ere! Can’t believe I needed to watch a video for this, but didn’t even notice the button on the back 😀🤣🤣

Hard to see with that black background. Perhaps a lighter color? Great demo, btw. I just got this for work today and you showed everything I need to do. Thx

You did not finish dressing the cable, I guess that means you have to get a second tool to cut off the plastic jacket and paper insulator

This Stanley box cutter model can be used has a seatbelt cutter because tht integrated string cutter recesses in the blade like tht of a seatbelt cutter’s blade!

Thank you kind sir😃

Excellent job! Thanks

⚠️ THE "TOOL-FREE" TOOL THAT REQUIRES A WORKSHOP TO REMOVE THE PACKAGING BEFORE USE ⚠️ All of this might be wonderful, except that STANLEY sells this knife with totally non-removable display packaging. It's a piece of super-strong cardboard that slots in where the blade is later inserted. So, you press the yellow release button and attempt to push the slider forwards to release the card/blade on your "tool-less" new STANLEY knife. NO CHANCE! The display card is held captive inside the mechanism. If it's like their other display cards, you'll need some workshop tools to remove the Philips + head screw, to completely dismantle this "tool-less" tool, before you can remove the display card, which is permanently secured inside the mechanism. I even tried telephoning STANLEY customer support to ask how customers are supposed to remove the display card if the customer isn't an engineer with workshop tools. Their answer is that they don't know how to remove the display card as they don't have examples of their tools at the support centre. They only confirmed that they guess you need to own tools to use this knife. My guess is they bought it from China and no-one had the sense to actually try to use it. Indeed, even before you attempt to remove the display card, they've tightly wrapped it in plastic, for which you need a second STANLEY knife to remove. Another great company run by a clueless management team who have no experience of using tools!

Very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you. Will buy those Klein cable tools.

What about taking out insulation in the middle of a line without disturbing the ends of the wire?

Bullshit. I've replaced the blade and now my thumb button won't retract back in.

Do you recommend the 4ah or 5 high output

thank you

Thank you foe the video. I do some DIY projects around the house and finally got down to getting these wire strippers. Thank you for breaking it down Barney-style!

This didn’t work for me with 14 gauge speaker wire

This tool is a piece of shit, worst tool I ever bought!

I just purchased one of these and if it wasn't for your video, I would have taken it back tomorrow! It took me 30 minutes to get the plastic brand card out of the damn thing before I could even start to insert a blade and that stupid yellow button isn't easy to get right. I still might take it back, what a piece of junk! "Instant Change" it is NOT!!

I find this tool to be unnecessary. I can strip romex easily with a knife, and not only that, I can also cut the cable shealth off with the knife as well (this tool won't be able to cut the sheath off clean for termination in a connector without leaving excess).

I'm sorry, but this tool is a piece of junk if you're primarily working with 10, 12 and 14 ga Romex cable and wire. I can strip sheathing and wire faster manually, than I can with ANY auto stripper. However, this tool DOES work well on 18 and higher gauge cable and wire (ie: thermostat, and Cat 3, 5, 6, etc), so I did keep it...

I have 2 of these. Bought them decades ago, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how I changed the blades since I haven't needed to do so for quite a while. Struggled for 30 minutes, found your channel and I'm good to go. THANKS! 👍 Subscribed.

Hi i know this video is like 5 years old but how do remove the cardboard from my new stanley knife?

Thanks for the review. I thought I was doing something wrong with the romex that has the clear plastic coating. Will try the wire bend that ruileal5574 recommends.

Thanks, my first job with this tool had the plastic coating. I thought WTH... now I feel better about the purchase.

Thanks

What is that white strip thingy?

Are these really stainless tops? I have the 56” version and am thinking about ordering the 84” with hutch just like in the video. My toolbox top is highly magnetic though so I doubt it’s stainless. Hasn’t rusted at all though and my box is in a shop where we keep the doors open most of the time in the summer. We are at the coast in NC so high humidity. Extremely happy with my 56” box though. I wish the top work surface was a bit stronger. I’ve got a few dents already from various things. At first I didn’t like that it didn’t seem like stainless but I sort of like being able to use a magnet on it to hold paperwork down. My biggest issue though is the height. I wish the hitch was 3” taller.

Unfortunately they stopped making this set with the offset & pass through end driver.

Yikes horrible loops. You’re actually using the tool incorrectly. Learn the tool before doing a review.

My quick slide is so stiff I can’t even slide the blade to show

you used the same lug for the 2.0 and 4.0 lol

This video helped me install a boot on my 2854 3/8" impact, thanks! Unfortunately the boot was $40!

Very helpful video! Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bought one on sale and it's OK. It's pretty useful if you're taking the jackets off a lot of runs at the same time, like a J-box or panel. I don't think any other functions are particularly useful but I don't hate that they include all of this on a $6 tool. Sometimes the (correct) tool you need is down a ladder or across a room so using this in a pinch to strip wires or whatever is cool. As mentioned by other comments, the loops aren't technically correct- you don't want any insulation under a terminal screw.

I use this tool almost daily and the company has a great support. Recently one of the jaws broke, they sent me a new one. Thank you.

thank you for a clear concise explanation. I was trying to make it harder than it is!

Thank god for the 2nd half of this video. I didn't even know that mine didn't start with a blade already in it and that there was a spot inside the back that I had to retrieve.

Thank you for this video. I bought this tool thinking I knew how to use it, but I guess I'm part dumb....😂😂😂..... So yeah I came here to watch this video and learn how to use it. Thanks again!

There are better how-to videos that explain that when the blade is pushed forward to the last stop, it needs an extra nudge to push it forward still more (just about 1/8 of an inch) before the yellow button will release the blade.

It’s funny that it’s always a hassle to get the price . It’s easy just say it , harbor freight was better boxes and will say the price. Shop elsewhere

Nice and easy ,cherss mate

I don’t like that plastic part…. Was going to get klein, but they didn’t have any crimpers on theirs so I bought these

Thank you!

Awesome idea! A lanyard attachment would be a cool feature.

for th e romex point the wire down

Life saver! Ty

Thank you for the video - ridiculous no directions on the package - and it is NOT INSTANT CHANGE - never thought I would have to rely on video directions. 😤

I don't get it. How do people strip 14/2 romex in production if this tool - supposedly the best one out there - fails miserably? I get the exact result as at t=256 in this video. One way to solve this is to bend the wire down around the left jaw - but that means doubling the stripping time for individual wires. That matters in production, not in hobby.
