Gone are the days of yanking and pulling at the wire jackets!!! This set of strippers has to be one of the most valued tools in my collection to date.
Just pick the gauge of wire, stick it in the stripper, and SNIP, the wire is stripped! Perfect every time!

These wire strippers work great! I can easily strip any gauge from 10 to 22 stranded or solid with one hand. They worked very well on a lighting upgrade job where we replaced several hundred ballasts. The insulation was very hard to strip with standard strippers, it appeared to be bonded to the wire. I had no problem with this stripper whereas the other guys on the crew had sore hands using theirs. So they kept borrowing mine. Needless to say I told them that they need to go to Home Depot and get their own for the next job. These also make working with 18/2 shielded easy. I simply use the 10 gauge to strip the outer jacket without damage to the inner conductors.

I am interested in trying this automatic stripper/cutter tool for tighter spots. And based on some of the reviews about the tool not cutting finer wires or nicking wires, I looked at the blades while selecting one. I noticed that not all blades align fully. Many are slightly off, and this might explain some of the problems those reviewers experienced and hence 3 stars. Who would have known otherwise? I exercised the tools (with difficulty through the blister pack), and selected one that aligned perfectly. Hope it lasts. This particular tool has a wire cutter, which is a plus.

December 29, 2017
The tool you didn’t know you need! Klein Tools’ Katapult wire stripper is incredible—put the wire in the gauged cutout at the point you want the wire stripped, squeeze the handles, and the wire is held securely and stripped in one quick movement. This makes stripping wires easy and doesn’t knick the wire inside, giving you perfectly stripped wires every time. A friend lent me his Katapult for a car wiring project I was working on, and I fell in love with the tool. Quality tools feel so good in my hand, and, as expected from Klein, it works flawlessly. The cutting blades are replaceable, but after six years I have not needed to replace the blades. I highly recommend the Katapult, if nothing else than to have stripping wires become your favorite part of any project.

November 2, 2020
I had been using wire strippers I probably bought 20 years ago. I had some smaller stranded wire that these old cutters did not cut very well and it was a struggle. These were expensive compared to others that just cut but I like the idea of the tool actually removing the cut wire cover. These worked much better than I expected. Very easy to use and the wire stripped cleanly without breaking any of the strands. If you have a small stranded wire and don't know the exact size, I suggest starting with larger setting and work down to one that cuts and strips cleanly.
