Knipex NexStrip Multi-Tool for Electricians with non-slip plastic grips 190 mm 12 72 190 SB

I do commercial /residential hvac controls and electric work. There is a slight learning curve to this tool which almost had me return it but I’m glad I didn’t. Once set, it does fast perfect quality strips, cuts, and crimps. I usually still have to have a pair of dykes on hand for things this tool can’t do and although expensive, I feel you get what you pay for. Over the last few years I’ve moved over to stranded wire and find myself crimping ferrels which I was very pleased to learn this tool has an integrated crimper. I’m moving from Klein to Knipex for most of my tools from here on. 👍🏻

Got Three of my coworkers to buy it and getting another few who just are terrible (noobs) at striping wire to by. Helping standardizing our quality and consistency at the work place. Great with MTW wire. Says do not use on THHN wire. We do some. And it cuts it fine too. Although it may be wearing the blades down faster. Replacement blades do exist but have yet to order them to see. Still going strong after 3 months of constant use.

These work great to strip and square crimp for screw down terminal blocks.Con:Festo and Wago push in stick to the “rectangular” crimp. The crimping indents are rounded and the Festo/Wago push in terminals don’t bite into it and can easily be pulled out without pushing the release tab in.

Muy buen producto, es rápido y preciso.

So happy with my purchase. It was expensive but so worth it. Gets rid of the need for 3 or more tools and combines them all into one which is so nice when working in tight areas. The cuts and strips are very clean and the crimp is holds secure. Highly recommend to anyone who deals with panel wiring especially 16awg all the way to about 26/28awg!

I can not review this product, because I have NO idea who made it! There is no name or number of any kind, anywhere on it and I have no idea who really made this tool... VERY disappointed...

Had this for a 2.5 months now. I'm a controls technician who does a lot of plc cabinet wiring and rewiring. The blades are now worn out for cutting and only cuts 75% of strands (prior to crimping ferrule). The automatic stripper only works for newer wiring and doesn't strip wire smaller than 18 very good even with adjusting the tension for the stripper. Price point is not worth it. Maybe if this cost $60-70 total I could see it but I bought this at $160. I still use my Milwaukee 6in1 strippers on the regular. The ferrule crimper does not crimp 10awg which I rarely use anyway. There are also no replacement cutting blades that I have found, only replacement wire stripper jaws.

I was excited when the Knipex stripper arrived. It's lightweight and feels good in the hand. I tested it on a couple wires and it worked just fine.This afternoon I started a project and things quickly changed. After the first 5 or 6 wires it just quit working. I had to finish up my work with an old manual Milwaukee stripper that isn't fancy always works just fine.
