IRWINVISE-GRIP Wire Stripper, Self-Adjusting, 8-Inch (2078300), Blue/Yellow

So much easier on the hands and does the job so quickly and easily, especially the outer covering which I find the hardest bit. Great tool.Correos - nice to see our postman - nice smoooooooth delivery!!!!! Thank you Amazon

I bought these Irwin strippers mostly based on other reviews but also because they looked slightly better from the photos. I based this mostly on how clear the stamped writing looked since cheap tools often are badly stamped.I am not a professional now but I was for many years so I have a pretty good idea when tools are good quality and these are pretty good.There seem to be a load of wire strippers all looking identical so it's hard to tell if it's worth paying the extra for 'Brand' name items like these but I think I did the right thing buying them as the strippers I received seem to be high quality and so far are working well.I don't think they would be suitable for heavy gauge solid core mains wire but hopefully nobody would be daft enough to buy them for that kind of use.They are probably not meant to be used for removing the outer insulation of 3 core flex either but I tried it and it worked so....In summery as a wise man said buy cheap and buy twice. These are not crazy expensive but not the cheapest so hopefully will give years of service.

I took the plunge and bought these wire strippers having constantly been battling with the pull type ones. They are fantastic, makes stripping all types of wire such a breeze. Did take some practise to start with to get the hang of them. They are now my go too tool. The extra functions like the cutters and crimping bits are very handy too if you only have the one tool to hand or forget your proper crimpers. I have a lot of Irwin Vise Grip tools because of their robustness, which these fit in very well.

This is a robust, well designed tool, strips cable with ease and a real tome saver. It is simple to use and value for money. I recommend it.

Wanted one of these for a while now and spotted the great price and you know the rest..Reckoned to be the leading product in it’s field, I think everyone who does a bit of electrical work should get one. Simple to use and very well made. Very pleased.

Had to have them shipped from America to uk but well worth the wait. As always with Irwin its fantastic build quality and sooo quick and easy to strip any thickness wires.Only downside is the measure / stop is plastic but time will tell how it holds up or wether I just take it off.Overall very pleased with the trimmers and glad I waited for them...

I spent most of my life stripping wire with a knife whenever I needed to, cutting my fingers, removing half the copper wire, snapping the wire, whatever. This was a luxury purchase for me, I'm not rich and I rarely strip any wire but I don't regret buying them as they work so well. You can set the length to strip and then it is just close them, they spring back open and it is done. If you need them then this is a good make, I did my research. Hope it helps.

Fantastic product that works. Saved me so much time stripping cables.
