IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripper, 8 inch, Cuts 10-22 AWG, Plier Style Nose, ProTouch Grip for Maximum Comfort (2078309)

It worked great for me, and I like it.

Really nice, handy tool to have around. Easy to use. Makes precise stripping cuts. Used it as a crimper for some 18 gauge wire with butt connectors, perfect.

I bought this tool because: 1) I was looking for a crimping tool 2) I did not have a good set of wire strippers 3) A reviewer indicated that the wire strippers were awesome 4) I thought the price was excellent. In using this tool as a crimper, I discovered that I have a tendency to "over crimp" the connectors. I don't see this as a failing of the tool...I see it as a failing of the user. I just don't have 'the touch' down yet. However, I was blown away by how well this tool strips wires. Pros 1) Great price 2) The gauge guides for wire stripping appear to be right on the money (just as another reviewer noted). When I line up the wire in the correct hole and press the handle, I get this satisfying little "pop" that I feel when a wire stripper exactly cuts the insulation but does not touch the wire underneath. The gauge is that good. 3) It works flawlessly as a wire-cutter. It makes nice clean cuts. 4) It can be used to make crimps if you have the experience and a good feel for it. Given my limitations with crimping, it will be my backup crimper. Cons 1) This is not a con of the product...but I don't make very good crimps with this tool. I blame me and not the tool. It is a solid tool, and I'm sure I could get really good at it with practice, but I wimped out and picked up a ratcheting crimper as well (in particular, I picked up S&G Tool Aid 18900 Professional Ratcheting Terminal Crimper ). I personally recommend the tool as a great wire stripper/cutter. As far as a crimper goes, your personal skill at crimping connectors will determine its usefulness. For my part, I like the stripping/cutting ability so much, along with the price point, that I intend to keep it for that purpose alone. The fact that it can serve as a back up crimping tool is a bonus.

Good pair of electrical pliers but only 1 flaw, the crimping portion is inside the handle which makes it hard to crimp butt connectors on larger harnesses in tight spots. Stripping and clipping capabilities are awesome though.

Excellent tool

Comfortable and easy to use.

Best wire snips I've ever used Grips are great too

These are so well made I doubt I will ever have to buy another pair of wire strippers. They are saving me time by stripping on the first try and comfortable, I only wish I bought these when I was 30 and not 60.

Pesquisei bastante antes de comprar, todas as avaliações que vi eram referentes ao modelo "Decapador". Ao pesquisar por preços e o melhor lugar pra comprar, acabei caindo nesse modelo chamado "Eletricista". Sinceramente, não entendo porque há tão pouca informação sobre esse alicate, pois até agora não encontrei defeitos. Corta fios mais macio que manteiga, corta barra roscada com precisão. Crimpa os terminais de forma satisfatória, decapa os fios sem esforço, cabo agradável pra se trabalhar... Logo, se você é um profissional que passa o dia decapando fios, o modelo Decapador realmente pode fazer diferença. Mas se você realiza diversos serviços de elétrica, e não quer ficar carregando três ou 4 tipos de alicate, esse é uma escolha muito boa.

Good tool, does what it is supposed to.

Very versatile tool, a stripper, cutter, and pliers all in one. Comfortable in the hand and feels well-made. Would buy again

Good product very useful recommended

Does the job required exactly as described.
