Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko Tools Ultimate Self-Adjusting Wire & Cable Stripper
Customer Review: Great value for the price. Here's a trick to make them work even better.
Summary: 5 Stars
The photo shows the wire(s) being stripped passing straight through the clamp and cutter. That works perfectly most of the time. However, sometimes you're faced with wires that have particularly slippery insulation which can sometimes be pulled through the clamp as the jaws are opening. The "solution" is to bend the left side of the wire (the side being clamped) down 90 degrees. I've gotten into the habit if swinging it down and holding it against the handle of the stripper as I squeeze. Do that and you'll get perfect results every time.Customer Review: Best wire stripper I have used.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best wire stripper I have used and I have used a lot of different manual and automatic models. One of the best features that most other wire strippers are missing is the length guide. This lets you strip multiple wires to the same length from 1/4 inch up to what appears to be 3/4 inch. This is a very handy feature for large projects. The stripper itself preforms very well, and has not nicked or strained one wire that I have used in it. It has even been able to strip the shielding of of Cat5e.Customer Review: Awesome stripper
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit works very well with both thin and thick wire. I've used it with hard vinyl insulation and soft Silicone insulation and it strips them all.
The only less than awesome performance is when trying to strip a very short bit of insulation. Sometimes it doesn't work in that case.
I had one from GB for years and it finally gave out. This one looks very similar and works just as well.
Recommended.
Customer Review: Great, but would have been nice to have a manual/guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these to put together my home theater (stripping wires, etc.) and they were definitely a great help for a complete newbie. They worked as expected (no need to look at gauges, etc.). Unfortunately, there was no guide or manual so it took me a few minutes to figure out. Maybe I'm an idiot, haha, but it would have been helpful just to have a few pictures of how to use this.Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I've only used mine a handful of times stripping of 18 gauge wires for my trailer lights. One thing to note, you MUST dump out out the stripped insulation or it won't grab right. And as others have said, there are no instructions at all.
The little brass knob is to adjust for the size of wire I'm sure, but I have no clue how to adjust it.
