K601 6-In-1 Combination Wire Service Tool, Stripping Crimping and Gripping Pliers, 8-1/2" Electrician Pliers

Good wire stripper, even cuts cable (I've cut up to 12-3) with ease. I've tried it on 12,14,18,20 gauge wire. So I don't need 3 separate tools for residential wiring: long nosed pliers, wire stripper, cable cutter. Only complaint is I still need a smaller set of long nosed pliers for delicate work, as these are somewhat bulky, but that's why they are good at cutting cable that my smaller long nosed pliers wouldn't touch. Also probably till need the lineman's pliers for twisting wires.

I use this tool daily for work

Union electrician, 16 years experience - Great tool with multiple functions meaning less in your tool pouch. I found out by trying to remove a 1" knockout that the section of the jaws with the stripping notches is weak. The jaws were bent out of alignment by the twisting motion and now do not close together correctly. I recommend this tool if you can remember not to use them for any tasks of a tougher nature.

Very interesting combo. Works flawlessly as I am a apprentice and do wire pulls and motor installs. Only issue was handles sliled off during use. So I had to appox th again.

I purchased these about 6 months ago. I like the design, look and feel. There strippers work ok, the cutting jaws are ok, and it’s nice to have the crimper instruments included as well. I’ve got two gripes with the product. The first is that in hot climates like mine, the rubber handles slide right off the metal which forces you constantly adjust them. I glued them back with limited success. Many designers don’t take triple digit weather into account, so this complaint is more general than directed at this product exclusively. Yesterday, after a few months of light duty, one side of the pliers snapped off clean while I was trying to twist a metal knockout piece from a box. I can still use the crimpers, but otherwise the tool is dead. With items priced in this range, I usually expect about 12 months with my working habits. Usually, however, I retire them after 12 months because they get dull or something along those lines. Not a clean break. Only but these if you are willing to except the risk of the tool breaking very easily.

Great to to splice and strip wires and it easer to rim the conduit after each cut .

Hands down my favorite pair of strippers I own the needle nose head on them just makes them so much nicer, and the grips are super comfortable although at times they do want to slide off

Versatile and most handy for electrical work.
