Get one
My go to, it fits well in my tool pouch or pocket, good grip, sharp tip, ease of use and great build quality as I have dropped this from 20 feet, and fallen into chemicals or water. Worth to have in the tool box.

Nice cable stripper
Most guys have Greenlee cable strippers in the shop. I am partial to knipex tools. This tool works well and is just as easy to use. If you aren’t familiar: there is an adjustable blade to set your cut depth. Test it out on the end of your cable if you aren’t sure. Peels insulation right off.

Great fit, form, and function
Does what it's supposed to. I have used for well over a thousand feet of cable and still original blade. Saves me a ton of time striping wire and cable. High quality with Knipex, never disappointed. Fit in hand well. Lock mechanism would be useful.

It works
It's good for repetitive work but it's a little chunky. It's comming apart/ saperating from factory and I've only used it like 5 times total

Knipex never disappoints.
I have several large gauge wire strippers which are slightly cumbersome and not always accurate as to depth of cut. This little stripping tool is simple to use but absolutely has a learning curves, so practice before you hit the job site or begin your wiring project. Overall, for the cost and performance I feel this is a good tool to keep in your arsenal of equipment but I can't honestly say every single cut is perfect. Again, it's a learning curve and I'm still somewhat learning the ins and outs of this tool. The tool is holding up well and the price was low enough to not really stress about. I really like the tool and yes, I would recommend this stripping tool for larger gauge wires but take your time and adjust the blade depth very carefully prior to making any cuts. Every time you change wire, be sure to adjust the blade.

Too expensive for occasional use
Difficult to use and too expensive. Much easier to trim cable with box cutter

Boa ferramenta, leva um tempo para aprender a pegar o jeito de ajustar a lâmina mas depois vai ficando mais fácil.

Arguably the best type of stripper for multi conductor wire bundles and thick insulation.

amazing little tool. Used it this past week to build dozens of new extension cords and some 8/5 SOOW heavy duty twistlock cables for the entertainment industry. I love not being worried any more about nicking the inner conductor jackets when stripping off the exterior. Takes just a little getting used to, but amazing.
