        A:  I understand your confusion, as normally strippers of this nature are co-labeled for both solid and stranded. Klein labels this particular model only for solid, and has a corresponding red-handled model labeled only for stranded. As an electrician, I have to think that this is so the pro isn't wasting any time checking to see if he's indeed using the right stripping notch. Whether the tolerances on the notches are any different than any other model, I do not know.

        A:  Yes, you can use them on stranded wire. Just select the right wire gauge.

            Q:can you use this cutter to cut galvanized iron?
            by|Feb 1, 2015
            6 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  I would not cut galvanized iron with them. They are designed to cut insulation and copper wire. I am sure galvanized iron will damage the cutting edges.

            by|Oct 7, 2022
            2 found this answer helpful

            A:  Only if you want to ruin them.

            A:  NO, FOR SOFT COPPER ONLY.

            by|May 3, 2023

            A:  No

            by|May 16, 2022

              A:  Probably not. They are designed to cut copper. Get a small bolt cutter, it will be easier on your hands.

              by|Oct 7, 2022
              3 found this answer helpful

              A:  No, the cutting edges on these are only for soft wire, copper or aluminum.

              Easy to use. works for guys not handy at all
              I used this tool to replace my bedroom 3 way outlet. Before buying it, i tried so hard to install the outlet and cut the wires using a regular scissor. it failed. since the scissor will cut the brass and the outlet doesn’t take it very well. once bought this tool, and generated the right curves, and boom, it’s on. i’d suggest home depot to link this tool to all outlet pages, so people don’t have to experience the wait.

                  I got this for small things around the house that I can do on my own; ceiling fans, light switches, etc. It is perfect for that and not expensive, so why not?
