Review: Great Tool - I am a "Saturday Afternoon" electrician, so I am not a professional and do not use these every day. However I do like good quality tools, and have long since convinced myself that spending a couple extra bucks for good tools is cheaper in the long run. I have used these for a couple projects, and so far, so good. === The Good Stuff === * They strip wire. I really only use 12 and 14 gauge NM, and these work great. * The handles are secure and don't slide off. The tool feels secure in my hand, and is about the right length and width to grip easily and line up with work. * The locking tab comes in handy for the toolbox. Less space, and less chance of getting wrapped up with the other tools. * After some use, the tool is still as tight and aligned as it was when I purchased it. But I do not use the cutter, so that may cut down on the wear and tear. === The Not-So-Good Stuff === * My eyes aren't what they used to be, and it is a bit tough to read the gauge markings on the tool. I am sure if I used it more often, I would be so used to tool that muscle memory would guide me to the right slot. I did put a small dot of orange paint next to the 14ga slot, and that has helped. * I would have preferred more friction in the lock clip. It has a tendency to slide into the lock position, usually at the worst possible time. I have considered removing it from the tool, but haven't as yet. === Summary === A comfortable and easy-to-use tool. It took me a long time to get used to using wire-strippers, I always just used wire cutters. But after a few nicked wires, I learned my lesson, and these are about the best pair I ever owned.
Review: Never go wrong with Klein - You can never go wrong with Klein! They work exactly as intended. I trust the insulation working on live wiring. They are nice and sharp. I wouldn't use any other brand!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Made in?**
A: Since 1857, Klein Tools has been manufacturing tools in America, and it's as important for the Klein family to keep that tradition now, as it was more than 150 years ago. You see, Klein isn't just the name of our company; it's also our family name, so we have to be proud of everything we make.

**Q: Can these cut screws?**
A: They only cut 8-32 and 6-32 screws in the specified locations on the strippers.  Don't try cutting them with the blade as they will destroy your strippers.

**Q: What’s the warranty on them?**
A: Lifetime Warranty

**Q: What size stripper should I get for a present for son who does household diy and makes elec toys for his kids?**
A: As far as home electrical maintenance such as changing outlets or switches you are typically looking at between 14 to 10 AWG solid. For toys and electronics you are typically going to want something way smaller like 22 AWG stranded or smaller. (AWG is the gauge system we use in America and the higher the gauge number the smaller the size, stranded and solid are the types of wire and the strippers should say what sizes they are rated for in both types)
