            A:  Yes

            by|Mar 15, 2022

            A:  Yes. It work on 14/2 UF wire. I found it work wonder on smaller stranded wire like 18,20. Smaller Stranded wire is hard to strip with other stripper because they always snipp/cut couple stranded wire, no matter how careful im. But this automatic stripper never does that on very small stranded wire. My friend love this tool, on a project we did together.

                          Q:"Tensioning thumb screw allows for precise stripping of smaller gauge wire"... HUH?... SAY WHAT?!!!... In physics... I believe the term "Tension" normally refers to a pulling force... All descriptions we've been able to find regarding this Tensioning Thumb Screw have been extremely vague... Can you explain the ACTUAL MECHANICS of: WHAT turning this Tensioning Thumb Screw actually does?... HOW this Tensioning Thumb Screw actually allows precise stripping of smaller gauge wire?... and... INSTRUCTIONS for how Klein Tools recommends using this Tensioning Thumb Screw?... No matter which direction... or how much this thumb screw is turned... we do not see any movement... or anything happening to either the Gripping Jaws or the Stripping Jaws...

                            A:  To much tension will cause you to move the wire thru the insulation while stripping

                              A:  Wire Stripping Instructions: 1. Adjust wire stripper tensioning knob for desired wire size. Turn the knob clockwise for larger wire. Turn counterclockwise for very small gauge wire (22 AWG or smaller). 2. Turn locking knob counterclockwise to adjust wire length stopper. 3. Slide and position the wire stop at the desired stripping length. 4. Turn the locking knob clockwise until tight to lock wire stopper in place. 5. Position the wire between the gripping and stripping heads with the end resting against the wire length stopper. 6. Squeeze handles together to lower gripping and stripping heads. 7. Squeeze handles more to strip the wire. 8. Release the handles and remove the wire.

                                      A:  Yes, about 3/8". You have to adjust the end stopper all the way out so the wire can fit through the claws.
