Tools and Hardware Reviews of GB SE-94 10-gauge to 26-gauge Automatic Stripper and Crimper

Customer Review: One Of The Best
Summary: 4 Stars

The stripper works by differential gripping forces, with one side gripping the insulation securely while the other side grips and slightly cuts, then tears the insulation off the wire. A brisk squeezing motion gives the cleanest and most precise cut. Stranded wire gets stripped without cutting any of the copper strands, but solid wire may show a slight shaved area on one side. It strips about 5/8 inch right off the wire, or you can take a bigger bite and simply pull a longer section of insulation off the wire after the stripper has separated the insulation.

The wire cutter is a blade and anvil type and works OK for the entire range of wire, from 10 gauge on down. Cutting effort is reduced by the cutter being placed right next to the pivot. For most jobs this will be the only wire cutter you will need.

Remembering that this is an automatic wire stripper, the crimping function is decent. Not as good as a dedicated terminal crimper, but more than adequate, especially if you practice to get a feel for the crimping action. Crimping will take more effort due to the location of the crimping dies away from the pivot fulcrum. But the finished crimp should be tight enough for most connections.

As a wire stripper this tool gets an easy 5 stars, as a wire cutter 4 stars, and as a crimper 3 to 4 stars, for an overall rating of 4 stars.
