        What is the largest gauge wire this will cut? I will use it to cut a welded wire fence. I don't know the gauge, but it is probably 12 or 14.

        you can cut it but you don't want to it will after cutting steel wire fence the blades will dull, they are made to cut copper wire up to #8. you need kline SIDE CUTTERS

        This tool is more for stripping wire. You should be using side cutters.

          Do not use these for steel wire, you will ruin them. These are for copper and aluminum only. For steel wire you will need compound action cutters with hardened blades. The cutters you want look like small bolt cutters.

          This will cut 10 gauge wire at the max. It's range is 10 - 20 gauge.

          By|May 4, 2023

            Welded wire fencing will destroy these wire cutters. They are designed for electrical wire, copper and aluminum specifically.

            If you are going to cut fence, use hog wire cutters not wire strippers.

            By|May 4, 2023

              I've cut both, 12 and14 gauge wire. Works well. But if you're going to be cutting a lot I would recommend getting the Klein Tools Side Cutters.

              By|May 3, 2023

                I'm sure the jaws will open wide enough to cut the fence wire. The blade is intended for copper wire though. I would probably choose a different tool to cut the steel fencing wire as it may leave gouges in the blade.

                  Wire Strippers are not designed for this application.

                  By|May 17, 2022

                    DO NOT use this to cut steel. I made that mistake, and now the cutter has a nice crescent on each cutting edge.

                      I just bought these wire strippers from Home Depot and these are the best for doing electrical work around the house. These cover a wide range of wire sizes such as size 10 through size 18 gauge solid. And size 12 to size 20 gauge in stranded wire. These are a lot nicer than my old ones from Kline...

                      stays sharp forever
                      I've been using the same pair for 2 years. They didnt dull at all. The other day an electrician told me a 10/2 romex was dead, I cut it and it sure wasn't. This things saved me from getting a big shock!

                          Klein tools are some of the best. The curved handle reduces fatigue - especially when you need to use the tool for a extended periods of time.

                          I've purchased the same strippers over the years, again and again.They're some of the best, if you lay them down they'll walk off. If you find yourself stripping cable, you're going to love these. They're sharp, easy to use with the best handles.

                          Klein brand is always best electrical tools!
                          Fantastic pliers. Only reason I bought another is mine from over a decade ago were off-site. The old ones still work great too. The curve in the handle makes it very easy to clip and get around wires in a box. The cutters and strippers are properly sized and stay sharp.
