## Description

KNIPEX Tools new patent pending Forged Wire Stripper is a true game changer. It strips solid and stranded wire 10-20 AWG. Wire locating ridges make it easy to find stripping holes. It cuts 6-32 and 8-32 screws without threading from either the front or back of the tool. Cutting blades are designed to cut individual wires, NM-B, BX/MC, and battery cable. Lock can be used either right or left handed. Knurled tip and wide flat jaws for better grip. Also includes wire looping groove and gripping area for pipes.

Review: Best wire strippers I’ve used on the job - These are easily the best hand tool I’ve owned. While other brands make similar tools, once you use these it’s very hard to go back. The design is incredibly efficient and clearly built for professional use. They’re especially well-suited for someone with field experience (roughly 2+ years) who understands proper safety practices. I would never cut anything I wasn’t certain was de-energized, but for approved applications these cut MC cleanly and effortlessly. They’re excellent for splicing and often eliminate the need to carry lineman’s pliers for many tasks. The build quality is top-tier, and they’ve held up extremely well to regular jobsite use. Durable, precise, and absolutely worth the investment.
Review: without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind - The KNIPEX 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is, without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind I have ever used. It perfectly blends the brute strength of a craftsman's plier with the delicate precision of a surgeon's scalpel. The forged construction provides a sense of indestructible quality, yet the compound leverage mechanism makes stripping even tough wires feel incredibly smooth and effortless. The precision-ground stripping holes are impeccably sized and cleanly cut through insulation without a single nick to the copper conductor. The integrated cutters are razor-sharp, and the ability to crimp terminals adds to its remarkable versatility. This single 8-inch tool has effectively replaced two or three others in my bag. For any electrician, technician, or serious DIYer, this is not just an expense; it's a long-term investment in flawless performance. The ergonomics, balance, and sheer quality justify its price many times over. Once you use it, every other wire stripper feels inadequate. An absolute five-star masterpiece.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Made in?**
A: Germany

**Q: Can they strip Romex**
A: If the question is whether there is a feature to strip the outer jacket of Romex, the answer is no.  I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool.  Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed.  Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features.

**Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?**
A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up.

**Q: Are these spring loaded?**
A: Yes, the product features an internal spring.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right tool for the job. Amazing wire strippers for Rolex (nm wire)
*by S***R on July 6, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I recently wired my new home. Versatility: I was able to use this for every circuit, made perplexing to rough-in, and final inspections a breeze! Speed: My dad was using pair of dykes making up the switch boxes, and I was making up the outlets (so so many outlets) I not only finished first, but ended up jumping in and doing about 1/3 of the switch boxes in the same area he was working in. Total dream to use! Grip: Great grip with and without gloves Works well: Cannot hammer home enough just how sharp, durable, and well engineered for the purpose these are. This was my first knipex product, and it will not be the last!
