Precision Wire Strippers, Professional Grade, Super Sharp Carbon Steel Jaws. Made in Japan. ENGINEER pa-07

These are absolutely spectacularly good wire strippers for those really thin fiddly wires which seem to have super-humanly strong insulation; you know the type, it breaks your thumbnail if you try to strip it that way, or blunts your teeth if you try that... These have razor sharp cutouts for stripping; you do need to make sure you use the right gauge hole, too lose and it'll shave the insulation closer than a 5-blade razor, too tight and it'll take some of the copper strands with it (or shave the solid conductor, see above). Be aware that these come in two sizes - one goes from 0.25mm to 0.95mm, the the other does from 0.8 to 2.5mm. I have the smaller one - in fact, I have two, because I lost the first ones (then found them after I'd bought a replacement. They're not cheap, but they're excellent quality and I highly recommend them.

Super nice quality wire strippers for electronics. Just be sure you know the gauge of wire you are trying strip. Very sharp and feel nice in the hand to use.

I have found these to be very useful, they work well and are beautifully made. Let’s put it this way if I managed to lose them I would buy another without hesitation.

Quality is really top, i've got few of their tools. Its Knipex and Wera league.

Perfect, cuts clean and with accuracy

These are easy and reliable to use. Being Japanese the build quality is excellent. The handles are comfortable and look and feel resilient. From reading a 2015 review I expected the spring to be weak. Evidently someone in Osaka took note and rectified the issue; my spring is fairly strong (but not too stiff). Probably most buyers use these in electronics but my interest is in modelling. So it might be useful to know that the metric wires that can be stripped are: 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8 and 0.95mm diameters. Plenty of metric wires are 1mm and the 0.95mm dia setting works fine.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the final boss of wire‑stripping. I’ve used every other design—automatic, manual, gimmicky, over‑engineered, under‑engineered—and nothing even approaches these. If you want the best, buy these. If you prefer the inferior, buy something else. There is that which is meet, and there are other brands, which are not. I favour the engineer’s manufactory above all else.

You know that feeling you get when you find a quality tool after years of putting up with something average (or junk)? That's how I feel now. These are not made for heavy duty electrical work, but they are perfect for working on electronics. Small, light, and very sharp. There is only one tiny criticism I can make, and I'm really being picky here just for the sake of a full review. After factory grinding of the cutting edges for the blades, there was a tiny burr left on each of the leading edges of the little pillars between the wire stripping holes. It's quite difficult to explain exactly what I mean, but you can feel it immediately when running a finger over the flat side of the "scissor" where the blades cross over.. This could possibly cause a bit of a ragged strip on really delicate wires, although the burr is so thin that it would wear off after a couple of uses anyway. (see what I mean when I say I'm really stretching it to find any fault at all?). I gently ran a needle file over the sides of the little "pillars" between the blades a couple of times to knock off the burrs, being careful not to file the cutting edges. I also found the spring a bit weak at first, sort of "spongy" rather than "springy", but after using it for a while you quickly realise that this is probably by design, and means the repetitive motion of opening and closing to strip the wires requires almost no effort which makes it very comfortable to use. I'm delighted, wish I'd bought these years ago rather than making do with cheap manglers.

These are very nice. A bit pricey for what you actually get, but if you do a lot of work with wire, they're worth it. I stripped a little bit off a piece of 30AWG wire, then stripped a bit more. I looked at the wire where it made the cut for the first strip under (very) high magnification and didn't see any nicks in the wire at all. So these are really good wire strippers. Some others I had (much older) would nick the wire some times, and once that happens, it will break sooner or later. So I trust these strippers. In other words, "I like 'em!"

You can't beat Japanese precision.

OK la prima cosa che salta all'occhio sono i 30 e passa euro del prezzo ma appena presa in mano e fate alcune spelate si capisce subito che li vale tutti. Ho preso anche la sorella che arriva fino ad AWG34 che non spelerò mai, ma fino al AWG26 facendo droni e modellismo dinamico capitano e questa pinza, con la sorella più piccola, sono veramente un tool immancabile.

Grest quality tool for small cables.

This is ideal, for working with pre wired micro SMD LEDs. WOW. It’s gauged only for 22 gauge to 34 gauge wire stripping, and that’s exactly why I got it. The pair seems a bit big in the photo, and I’m not sure why as there isn’t anything in the pic to compare it to. It’s not large at all. It’s about the size of a smaller needle nose pliers. 17.5 cm or 7 inch. It’s just right. Not big and heavy, but - trust me - really engineered well. The wire that I needed this for is so fine even trying to melt the insulation off the wire actually burns the wire right off! When I first used it I thought I had put the wire in the size slightly too big for it and assumed the wire just slipped through. NOPE! It’s just that darn sharp and its jaw shape is just that well designed. No resistance. No cut into my super fine wire. Just the perfect tool for this. And yes! this stripper is so fine and delicate when it works thru a wire end, you feel no resistance! I know the insulation is lighter with this size wire but it’s just a fluid experience. And I know you don’t need an aesthetic experience when you strip wire. What I’m saying is this is really engineered with excellence. It works without tugging or clamping into a wire with a stupid - hard grip. This stripper is so great. I now call it my best wiring tool. Wow. I feel dumb I didn’t buy it sooner. You get your moneys worth, here.
