Poorly Made and Defective
Klein has serious manufacturing and quality control problems with its "heavy duty" combo stripper tools. I bought this to replace a horrible Klein K12035 (grossly misaligned jaws, pliers tips that are not even and do not close all the way, and cuts lots of strands when stripping). This tool did strip well. However, it was a complete fail because IT COULD NOT CUT bare stranded copper wire (like 18AWG). All it did was crimp the wire with a straight crease. It would not cut unless I wiggled the wire back and forth to break it. Klein itself has been inept, dysfunctional and slow to deal with. Klein customer service will delay and delay and waste your time. I'm really disappointed in the tool and with Klein.

All in one tool that really lightens the load
I have used this tool daily for about 1 month now. Our company does electrical and hvac install and troubleshooting. I head into the customers location carrying only my meter, my Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver, and this Klein Kurve heavy duty stripper. This tool has replaced my linesman pliers, my wire strippers, my crimpers, and my long nose pliers. Greatly reducing the weight of my service bag.
Most importantly, it does the job of all those tools equally as well, if not better. A lot of tool manufacturers attempt to make a multifunction tool, but most are not very good at it. You're usually left with a lot of empty promises and a tool that rarely gets used. That is never the case with Klein.
I love my Klein Kurve heavy duty strippers and crimper tool. It cuts heavy wire with ease, trims bolts like butter, makes perfect crimps, strips wire effortlessly, and has no problem reaching in the back of a furnace cabinet or junction box to grab a part that has fallen out of reach. Best of all, this one tool can also twist a bundle of wires and make a perfect pig tail.
I highly recommend this tool!

BAS Controls Technician review
Klein Tools has provided me with free product and additional incentives to provide an honest review of this product.
Klein Tools Klein-Kurve Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper/Crimper (K12065CR) is a very sturdy wire stripper. It comes in a normal clamshell package that is very easy to open. On one side the stripping holes are labeled with a light grey print. The cutting blades and stripping holes are all on the front side of the stripper. I have found that it will strip most 18AWG stranded wires with very little effort, as long as you can find the right slot.
The handle is very comfortable. I usually hold it with the curve side against my thumb. Unfortunately when I strip the wires I typically use (18AWG multi-conductor wire), I end up flipping the stripper over so I can’t see which hole I need to use since the back side isn’t marked.
The other main drawback I have is that because it is designed as a heavy-duty stripper, it is very wide and hard to maneuver in the tight spaces I have to work in as a BAS controls technician. I would expect that in normal everyday usage, this is a hard set of strippers to beat!

Excellent tool for maintenance work
So I have been using these for a couple of weeks now and I am ready to offer a review. These pliers are very useful. I work in systems and electrical maintenance so it is great to have multiple tools in one and these meet the mark. They are well made and strong I have tested every feature they offer and everything works well. The only thing that I can find that is a con is the stripper section is a bit thick and that makes it slightly more difficult to line up the right size. I find that to be a minor issue though and these have earned a permanent position in my tool pouch.

I only use Klein strippers, and these kept the high standard Klein always delivers.
The wire cutters/strippers were sharp just as any other Klein strippers or diagonal cutters.
I would recommend these to anyone who works in the field of electricity, both high and low voltage.

Klein stripper review
Klein Tools has provided me with free product and additional incentives to provide an honest review of this product. #kleintools #kleincrusaders
Everything works really well and it is nice to have a combination of tools that require take up less space. Cutters work great and so do the strippers and pliers.
I think that this tool is a real value and the features that are packed in this pair of pliers keep the real estate taken up in your pouch to a minimum with maximum application capabilities.

Solid Wire Strippers
Klein Tools has provided me with free product and additional incentives to provide an honest review of this product. They sounded like a great idea so I was a but curious to see how these would perform. They are the typical rock solid quality you expect from a brand like Klein. The cutters handle 1/8 stainless steel cable no problem. It's nice having a tool that can handle so many tasks effectively. Some heavy duty strippers fail miserably when it comes to twisting wires but this takes care of things so you can move on. Recommend having one in your bag. #kleintools #kleincrusaders

Multi-purposeful and extremely useful
This is a great tool for any kind of wiring. This tool eliminates having multiple tools because of the strippers, crimpers, cutters, and flat section on top to twist wires together. This just allowed me to get rid of some tools when doing outlets and lights. this is truly a terrific tool. The grip is comfortable and the pliers are durable and made in the USA

Made in USA
Got these strippers sent to me by klein to get an honest review about them and when I say Made in USA you know the quality it there! They are a super convenient multi tool and paired with a couple of drivers you could wire up a whole panel! I love the crimping feature since I do low voltage work everyday installing Generators so its sweet not having to bring out my old crimpers. The kurve grips makes it real easy on the hand especially when you are working in a panel all day! Highly recommend these to and electrician in any field since the strip com. Wire perfectly!
