Advanced Performance. Built to Last.
Upgrade your everyday electrical workflow with the KNIPEX 8" Forged Wire Stripper, built specifically for professional electricians, contractors, and serious tradesmen. Engineered from high-grade, multi-stage oil-hardened special steel, this versatile tool replaces multiple dedicated tools by combining high-capacity shear cutting, precision wire stripping, screw shearing, wire looping, and conduit reaming into one heavy-duty body.
Featuring the updated multi-component KNIPEXTEND comfort handles, this model includes built-in mounting interfaces for color-coded identification clips and fall-protection tool tethering lanyards (accessories sold separately).
Key Features:
-
20–10 AWG Stripping Capacity: Accurately strips both solid and stranded copper wires without nicking conductors.
-
Locating Ridges: Intuitive raised ridges guide your wire directly into the correct stripping notch by feel.
-
High-Capacity Shear Blades: Effortlessly cuts NM-B, BX, MC armored cable, and copper/aluminum conductors up to 1/2" with 50% more cutting capacity than competing models.
-
Integrated Screw Cutters: Cleanly shears 6-32 and 8-32 screws without damaging or dulling threads.
-
Wide Gripping Jaws & Pipe Reaming: Knurled wide jaws securely grip and twist multiple wires simultaneously, while the outer jaw edges ream conduit burrs.
-
Integrated Opening Spring & Lock: Built-in spring reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cuts; ambidextrous lock secures the jaws for storage.
-
KNIPEXTEND Ready: Comfort grip handles accommodate tethering loops and color clips for jobsite safety and quick tool identification.
