Review: The right tool for the job. Amazing wire strippers for Rolex (nm wire) - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I recently wired my new home. Versatility: I was able to use this for every circuit, made perplexing to rough-in, and final inspections a breeze! Speed: My dad was using pair of dykes making up the switch boxes, and I was making up the outlets (so so many outlets) I not only finished first, but ended up jumping in and doing about 1/3 of the switch boxes in the same area he was working in. Total dream to use! Grip: Great grip with and without gloves Works well: Cannot hammer home enough just how sharp, durable, and well engineered for the purpose these are. This was my first knipex product, and it will not be the last!
Review: without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind - The KNIPEX 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is, without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind I have ever used. It perfectly blends the brute strength of a craftsman's plier with the delicate precision of a surgeon's scalpel. The forged construction provides a sense of indestructible quality, yet the compound leverage mechanism makes stripping even tough wires feel incredibly smooth and effortless. The precision-ground stripping holes are impeccably sized and cleanly cut through insulation without a single nick to the copper conductor. The integrated cutters are razor-sharp, and the ability to crimp terminals adds to its remarkable versatility. This single 8-inch tool has effectively replaced two or three others in my bag. For any electrician, technician, or serious DIYer, this is not just an expense; it's a long-term investment in flawless performance. The ergonomics, balance, and sheer quality justify its price many times over. Once you use it, every other wire stripper feels inadequate. An absolute five-star masterpiece.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Made in?**
A: Germany

**Q: Can they strip Romex**
A: If the question is whether there is a feature to strip the outer jacket of Romex, the answer is no.  I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool.  Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed.  Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features.

**Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?**
A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up.

**Q: Are these spring loaded?**
A: Yes, the product features an internal spring.
