Tools and Hardware Reviews of Channellock 958 6-1/4-Inch Wire Stripper and Cutter
Customer Review: A great tool for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
After using a multi wire stripper tool for years that I got from a nationwide radio chain back when I was in high school (I'm almost 40 now), this tool is a complete god send! I'm not a professional or anything but do do my share of things like creating my own speaker wires to custom lengths and other home theater and stereo tasks around the house.
This is so fun, more comfortable and easier to use than my prior one. The handle plastic is not sliding off like the old tool either. I threw the old one away and was happy to do so. after getting this.
Customer Review: As advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I have worked for electricians and other contractrors that have used similar tools for years. I decided to purchase this stripper tool for myself. This is one of the best wire stripper tools that I have ever used --- including the professionals' tools that I had previously used. The wire gauge is very precise, and it cuts the casing off of the wire perfectly without cutting any of the interior wire. This is a buy item, and the price cannot be beat.Customer Review: These are nice, lightweight, but don't feel cheap or flimsy
Summary: 5 Stars
The grip is nice, they are plenty sharp, and I am very glad that I purchased them. The spring action is just right, comes back easily, but no major snapping back or sticking in the down position. you can lock them closed for transport in the tool box.Customer Review: Does the job, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
Although these work liked I'd expected, I had two concerns about them:
1: I'm working with speaker wire labelled as 14AWG, but that setting on the stripper wound up cutting some wire off the inside. Moved to the larger 12AWG setting and was able to cut through with no problem; I can't be sure whether the issue is with this item, or with the speaker wire itself.
2: The packaging for this item states "WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer" with no further information. I'll be, at minimum, washing my hands well after each use.
These got my project done, but I'd have preferred something with more accurate gauge measurements and no warning that it's going to give me cancer.
Customer Review: Took forever to arrive
Summary: 3 Stars
These are nice basic strippers, but it took longer for this gift to arrive than any other present I ordered from Amazon.
