reliable, well built wire stripper for everyday electrical work
the klein tools 1011 multi-purpose wire stripper delivers the kind of precision and quality you expect from a professional grade tool. it feels solid in hand with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during repetitive stripping and cutting. the blades are sharp and cut cleanly through various wire gauges without nicking or damaging the conductors. what i like most is how smooth and consistent the action is. the spring tension is just right, and the handle design gives excellent control even in tighter spaces. the crimping and looping functions are accurate and easy to use, making it a great all in one tool for quick electrical or maintenance jobs. the durability also stands out. after multiple projects, the pivot still moves smoothly, and there’s no sign of wear or misalignment. it’s compact enough for tool bags but sturdy enough for daily professional use. if you need a dependable, efficient wire stripper that balances comfort and performance, the klein 1011 is an excellent choice. it’s clearly made with tradespeople in mind and built to last

Great tool for cutting and stripping smaller wires
This tool has become a very used device in my workshop. I am continually cutting, stripping and soldering wires in the size range of this tool. For larger wires, I use a different tool and for really small stuff I have one just for those, but for the mid-size wires that I seem to use most often, this tool really does the job. The handles have a wider portion on the outer edge to give you more force when cutting the solid wires, I find it fits my hands well, I wear large size gloves and this tool is not a problem to use, plenty sharp. It’s designed range is 10-20 AWG for both solid and stranded and that’s what I use it for. On the negative side, there’s no mechanism to lock the tool closed. While this isn’t necessary, it would be nicer to have when I stuff this in a carry bag to lower the risk of the sharp teeth snagging on and accidentally cutting something. I like that they work well, that they are made in the USA and meet my needs. 5 stars, I really love mine and use them weekly.

Top quality for every day professional use.
Small enough to fit into a tool bag without taking up much room, and works well for average wiring tasks.

Sharp , simple, and inexpensive quality
Maybe you wouldn’t be into these for professional every day use but if you wanna spread this tool around multiple locations and in different tool bags so you’re not wondering where you’re really awesome stripper strippers are these things will do the job every time …..sharp and simple , like I said.

Tried and True
This is really all you need for stripping wire. I have had multiple styles in my many years in the electrical and controls field and this style is what I always come back to. One of the best features to me is the lack of a locking tab to keep them closed, since those soon need adjustment to prevent accidental engagement. I wear Maxiflex size XL gloves, so this is a smaller tool to use compared to the other styles. Since it is shorter it reduces the leverage away from your wrists, which seems minor but is noticeable to me. I have many apprentices come in with the normal big curved handle Klein's or similar, or the gimmicky Milwaukee needle nose combo strippers, and I see them awkwardly work. I loan them my extra pair, and 3 out of 4 of them purchase this type afterwards. Pros - Made in U.S.A. - Lightweight - Compact - Durable - Inexpensive - Basic, no gimmicks Cons - Easy to lose
