Klein-Kurve® Wire Stripper / Crimper / Cutter Multi Tool

Nice tool, nice features(see image). Sharp, clean cuts for my speaker cable project. I like the separate labels for stranded wire to remind me to uses one size up, since I’m not an electrician.

Got these strippers for free from Klein crusaders to give a honest review. I think they're great for low voltage stuff and stripping stranded but for residential. so much the struggle to cut 12/2. but all in all great strippers, very sharp, very sturdy

Klein Tools provided me with this tool and other incentives for my honest review. This is an excellent multitool-stripper. The reinforced jaws are solid and resist flexing, like a lot of comparable strippers. The stripping blades are sharp and smooth and the ability to strip and crimp with the same tool is great. I also really like the cushion grips. they are very comfortable.

Klein Tools has provided me with free product and additional incentives to provide an honest review of this product. I have spent a week on the job with thus very versatile tool. It has multible crimpers built in for a variety of common connectors. I have never owned a pair of strippers that stripped solid 12 awg copper wire as smooth and effortlessly as these do. I highly recommend them to anyone who has to work with smaller wire and connectors.

Klein tools has sent me this tool for free in exchange of an honest review and some additional incentives. Overall these strippers are really good, I've used all of the kelvin strippers and these are the ones that are most versatile. 12gauge all the way down to 28 gauge wire is a plus, it seems like i never have a good "mix", but with these i do. It has the crimpers for every connection you will need and are super light weight, but at the same time don't bend or twist while using them.

The Klein 1019 is a great tool. I received this tool to test as a Klein crusader. I have put it to use today and even allowed other electricians try it out. So far no one has any complaints. They are very durable and fit well in my hand.

Klein sent me this tool to test out under the klein crusader program. I have to give honest reviews, and upon completing them. I will receive additional incentives. These klein stripper/crimper multi tools are my new favorite go to tool. When doing car stereos, fire alarms systems, security systems, and motor terminations. These things will not only strip wire between sizes 10-28awg solid and 12-28awg stranded wire. It will also crimp insulated connectors, non insulated connectors, B connectors, and IDC connectors. Its also cuts wire and 8-32 and 6-32 bolts. Most stripper/crimpers when crimping, they like to twist and not crimp properly. But thanks to the design of these bad boys, there is no flex in them. I almost forgot the best part, the teeth at the head are great for reaching in a box to grab a wire or screw. They grab great compared to most strippers. I would highly recommend this product! #kleincrusaders #kleintools

Klein Tools has provided me with free product to provide an honest review of this product. I have been using the Klein strippers with the blue handles for years, and this is like an upgraded version of those with no spring or lock. I am really pleased with them, and used them the first day I got them to terminate a panel. I tested them and was also able to strip small wire such as phone wire, cut screws, crimp, and use IDC connectors.

Awesome wire strippers! About twice the amount of wires sizes to strip all in one tool. Not to mention the crimping capability. The cushion on the handles are extremely soft on the hands and comes with a great grip. The comfortability, the multi function, craftsmanship, the pricing, and not to mention the warranty is unheard of and unmatched in the industry. It is why Klein is the # 1 choice for electricians. BRAVO KLEIN! You did it again. Your the best.

Good product. Just my opinion but for the price of these it needs a spring assist... for that reason I give it 3 stars- I would rather exchange them however I didn't save packaging

As a regular DIY, I do a fair amount of electric work, primarily stripping Romex wires, and preparing them for household wiring connections. I seldom use IDC or “B” connections, so I cannot address the functionality of this tool for those applications. This stripper did a fine job, as I expected it would to strip the outer cover from Romex copper cable (see pictures) -- the cutting teeth are sharp, precision formed and easily marked for use by cable size. However, cutting the outer cable sheathing is another matter. Using the small flat cutter at the crotch of the cutters, it was possible to crudely cut the sheathing (see picture) but it was awkward and not easy to do. The time-tested method of using a utility knife to score the sheathing up its length is far faster and easier. The small holes in the tool that are provided to loop wire worked fine (see picture) , as did the ability to grip individual wires and twist connections using the nose the cutter (see picture) but the tools’ ability to cut small electrical fasteners (6-32) did not work at all for me (see picture). The tool is very light weight, has a comfortable curved handle, and did not flex when cutting cable. It does not fully live up to it’s claims regarding shearing screws, for which I rated it slightly lower. This is a fine tool, and I feel certain it will provide good service but I’m unsure if it is a good value for the generic cable cutting capability it offers.

Not quite the one stop solution for all my stripping and crimping needs. The big single rivet that holds the two halves of the tool together has just a little bit of play in it and that, it turns out, is a problem. Stripping fine AWG 20, or less, was easy but the cutters could not cope with the fine wires and this is because the play in the rivet prevents the cutting surfaces being perfectly flush. In the photo’ you can see the cutter bends the wire instead of shearing it and it did this consistently. At larger AWG sizes the stripping works well and the cutters slice through the copper and insulation easily. The double cushioned grips are very comfortable to hold and use. The stamped and printed markings on each side of the pliers are a thoughtful inclusion. The tool has lots of features that aren’t used every day (by me) but can save a lot of time when needed.

This wire stripper / crimper is not only comfortable to use but is made of excellent quality material. The metal stripping section appears to be strong, well-made and the handles are cushioned in Klein’s registered trademark Kurve comfort grips. This stripper has a cutting section for stripping solid wire from 10 to 26 AWG and stranded wire 12 to 28 AWG. It is has a screw cutter for 6-32 and 8-32 screws, and a serrated end for pulling and twisting wires. It can also be used to crimp several different connectors (i.e. B & Scotchlok IDC). The slightly curved handle helps for leverage and makes it comfortable to hold. So far I have found this stripper to work well with all my electrical projects.

A typical excellent quality Klein tool. The materials on this multi-tool stripper / crimper are first rate and will provide years of service. The blades are cleanly milled and quite sharp which will make cutting through wire jackets smooth and easy. The handles are full and ergonomically shaped which feels full and comfortable in the hands. Buy this tool, take care of it, don't loan it out and you will probably never have to buy another one!

The Klein Kurve multi-tool stripper/crimper by Klein Tools is made in the USA. We all know what that means, more and more, it not only means being loyal to American companies, but also because of a growing renewed pride in workmanship with American workers, you are also getting the very best products you can find anywhere in the world when you Buy American Made. That is clearly true with Klein Tools. Whether you are a professional or a DIY'er, if you want the best, you pick up the Klein tools. Starting with the fact that they are curved means there is less stress on your hands, and when you are installing a few dozen switches and receptacles, that means a lot. Also, because of the way they are manufactured and because they are so sharp, when you trim off the insulation with these strippers, it's easy. One gentle squeeze and you're done. Always a clean cut as opposed to using other strippers, where you have to squeeze hard and even twist them back and forth to make the cut. These also do everything else you need when installing wiring...making loops for screw connections, crimping numerous types of connectors and terminals, shearing small screws, and of course they strip solid and stranded wire. Do yourself a favor and buy some good strippers. They are a little bit more expensive than the junk that's out there, but well worth the money because they will be with you a long time and all the while making your life simpler.

The Klein Multi-Tool Stripper and Crimper is another quality tool from Klein. The grip is super comfortable and the handle has a slight curve so it fits the hand without digging-in to the palm. It has multiple strippers and crimpers to handle many of an electricians needs. A real benefit is the wire cutting shear - it is a bypass type rather than an anvil making for a much smoother cut requiring less force. A high-quality tool for the DIYer or professional AND it is made in the USA!

Versatile tool but with one minor flaw. The pin stamped in the tool by the hinge really limits how wide the jaws opens. This really limits the diameter of cable you can cut. For multi conductor cable used in communication or instrumentation this can be an issue. Overall the build and quality are good. Exactly what I would expect from Klein. If it isn't Klein it isn't mine..

These wire strippers are perfect for the HVAC field! Has every feature you would need to take care of the work week

Reading wire size is much better. The one I have is hard to see. Would buy again.

Great for stripping and cutting wires. It is a little awkward for crimping the connections. You have to enter the butt connections from the handle to crimp. Takes a little while getting use to it.

So far so good, have used them for about 2 weeks now and they seem pretty legit to me. They cut and strip as I would expect haven't tried the screw cutter as of yet but I'm sure it will be fine.

It works like it should
