IDEAL Electrical 45-415 Premium Reflex T-5 Stripper - 10-20 AWG, Wire Stripper with Thumb Rest, Plier Nose, Slide Lock, Textured Grips

These work great and I love the ergonomic design.

I do not know how any electrician or hobbyist gets by without these wire strippers. (Hobbyist... that's me.) Be cautioned that they come in two sizes... one for very small gauge wires, another for larger gauge wires. So check the gauges before you buy the wrong pair of strippers.

These seem awesome so far.. haven't used them in the field yet, but I tried stripping some 18-2 and cat 5 as well. They cut extremely well. I'm knocking a star off because of the spring. It's a bit much and causes the cutters to open too wide in my opinion. It is removable, but they look ridiculous without it. Ideal why can't we have a lock on these?

I've been looking for this wire cutters for many years to replace the old ones. Just to give you perspective, I've had the original one for 16 years and it still strips wire. I'm an electrical tech by trade and these are my everyday tools. These brands are one of the best to me.

The product's shape is Berry. Urban opticand easy to work with very, very pleased.

Ok, these are going to be great cutters BUT I throw all my cutters and plyers in one drawer. If these cant lock closed then I cant have them in there and really, don't want the sharp edges exposed when I dig through the drawer. These are identical to my older pair that im replacing with the exception of what the arrow points to, the close lock. So Ill have to take the one off the old pair and rivet it into the new pair. IDEAL lost 3 stars for not doing this in the factory.

I bought my 1st pair of these strippers over 20 years ago and I'm just now getting a new pair, these have out performed several pair of Kline strippers throughout the years.

The company I used to work for had these and I like them so much, I had to buy my own for my new job.
