- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025Tested the 11047 on 26 gauge wire-wrap wire. Worked perfectly. Previously, I had bought a cheaper stripper and that just shredded the insulation. I returned it and got the 11047. Stick with Klein.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025I was looking for a small pair of wire cutters to add to my network cable kit. These are great! They are small enough to fit in my pouch of tools for the kit, they have a good grip and spring action, and the build quality is very nice! I haven’t needed to use them yet, but I have every confidence they will cut/strip the network wires I would use them for very well!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024Wire strippers that work with sub 24 AWG wire are fairly uncommon, and this one works well with sub-24 gauge wire.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020You will always find a pair of these as well as Klein’s flush cutters (Klein Tools D275-5 Lightweight Flush Cutter, Up to 16 AWG, Grips Designed for Tool Control and Heat Treated For Durability https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000GTMZHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RFzeFbTXRJD6J) in my small tool pouch. These are sharp, precise and make stripping very easy. The handles want to be open so when you are done the reset in your hand and you can move quickly to the next wire. A true one handed operation that requires no extra dexterity or movement.
Despite being so small the over molded handles are comfortable in the hand and do not cause fatigue after long periods of use. The wire gages are easily seen on the stripping head and don’t require any genuflecting or search for light in order to see them. Other products i have, i sometimes feel like they should just put the numbers in Braille as might feel them easier than trying to see them.
These have also lasted a long time and i like Klein’s color coding of the handles. You know what you are grabbing without much of a glance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as expected with no frills
These wire strippers do a perfect job removing sheathing without damaging the internal conductor. They are 100% worth their price tag. No gimmicky additional features, just a nice soft spring in the handle.
Worth mentioning: They do NOT lock in their closed position like some others do. Be careful how you store them as they are quite sharp.

I’ve always use the big one and the ones that are adjusted with a screw, but never correctly. Now that I bought that one specialized for small wires I’ll could never go back and was stupid not to have found this before
