Klein Tools Wire Stripper and Cutter with Spring

The Klein Tools 1004 Wire Stripper and Cutter with Spring is a compact, lightweight tool designed for precise electrical work. This stripper cuts, strips, and loops 12-26 AWG solid wire and 14-28 AWG stranded wire. At just 2.9 ounces and 5 inches long, it fits comfortably in your tool belt without adding bulk. The spring-loaded action opens the jaws automatically after each cut, speeding up repetitive tasks.

The adjustable slide stop with set screw lets you dial in consistent strip lengths for repeat work. A convenient hole in the jaw allows for easy looping and bending of wire ends. Made in USA construction ensures durability on job sites. The tool features bright yellow handles for visibility and includes clear warnings not to use on steel wire or bolts, which could damage the cutting edges. A product video demonstrates proper operation and capabilities.

This wire stripper works well for residential and commercial electrical installations where you need to process multiple connections quickly. The spring assist reduces hand fatigue during extended use, while the compact size makes it ideal for working in tight electrical boxes and panels.
