Review: One of the FANCIEST, most SOPHISTICATED, and USER-FRIENDLY tools that I have ever interacted with. - My first time ever using a tool like this and it went perfect! My use case for this tool was to cut "Mygatti" 16/2 Speaker Flat Wire Cable with Banana Tip Plugs (16 Gauge AWG Wire / Tinned OFC Copper) at each end, thereby cutting BELOW the banana tip plugs on 1 side of each cable, in order to eventually STRIP the clear and transparent jacket CLEAN OFF of EACH end of EACH pair of wires, in order to eventually TWIST the exposed copper strands at EACH of the 4 different ENDS into a singular entity at EACH of the 4 different ENDS, and that's, finally, in order to, then, eventually, PHYSICALLY CONNECT the exposed copper bare wire, at each of the 4 different ends, into the "A" channels of the "L + / - and R + / - " at the BACK PANEL of a Sony STR-DH190 stereo receiver, for example, if you're looking for a smooth setup, with just 2 bookshelf speakers needing to be driven. Very easy to use. Very well made. Very versatile tool. Very powerful tool. Very wieldy tool. To have it at such a reasonable price is quite a relief when you consider the costs that you're already up against as far as researching, connecting, arranging, and wiring music hardware is concerned. One very important reminder: If you're stripping 16 AWG speaker wire, for example, to connect your speakers to the "spring-loaded terminals" at the back panel of a stereo receiver, that is being wired up to, said speakers, you want to use the "14" STRIP SETTING to indent a handful of perforations, towards the end of the part of each wire that you already cut the banana tip plug off of, and this is at EACH of the 4 speaker wire ENDS to where the outer, transparent, clear, material jacket will EVENTUALLY slide off clean with a gentle tug from the tool. To recap ... to connect 2 bookshelf standalone speakers to a stereo receiver, you started the process by using the Vise-Grip tool to CUT each of the 4 different ends, in total, of speaker cable wires (there's 1 pair of wires for each speaker that needs to be hooked up, in this scenario), and, then, you STRIPPED the 4 different ENDS, as described above, then you are left with the 4 different EXPOSED ENDS of BARE copper wire ! Which is what you want at that point in the process ! At that point, you simply TWIST the copper strands that constitute THE exposed bare wire at EACH of those 4 different ends. The copper metallic thread strands, in other words, are TWISTED neatly together until they become a singular entity. At that point, you simply INSERT the bare, exposed, "singular entity version" of the copper wire, into, for example, the "A" spring-loaded terminals, for each pair of wires being connected, L / R, + / -, to the BACK PANEL of the stereo receiver. In order to INSERT EACH bare, exposed, copper wire INTO EACH spring-loaded terminal, you will need to LIFT UP the TOP LATCH of EACH spring-loaded terminal, that is, to ensure that your copper wire is successfully REACHING the BACK WALL before the clamp comes down in search of clean contact. ## Features - Wire cutter with induction hardened cutting edge stays sharp longer - Strips and cuts 10-22 AWG - Pliers style nose allows wire stripper to pull and loop in wire - Bolt cutter cuts bolts to size and leaves perfect lead thread - Crimps insulated and non-insulated terminals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000JNNWQ2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,005 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #14 in Wire Strippers | | Brand | IRWIN | | Brand Name | IRWIN | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 21,319 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038548088495 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Included Components | 2078309 - 8" MULTI TOOL STRIPPER/CUTTER/CRIMPER | | Item Dimensions L x W | 10.1"L x 3.9"W | | Item Type Name | 8" MULTI TOOL STRIPPER/CUTTER/CRIMPER | | Item Weight | 3.04 ounces | | Manufacturer | IRWIN | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2078309 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Yes | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 2078309 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 10.1"L x 3.9"W | | Set Name | 2078309 8IN MULTI TOOL | | Specific Uses For Product | Outside | | UPC | 038548088495 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** IRWIN - **Color:** Blue - **Handle Material:** Rubber - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 10.1"L x 3.9"W ## Images ![IRWIN Vise-Grip Wire Stripper, 8 Inch, Cuts 10-22 AWG, Plier Style Nose, ProTouch for Comfort, Blue (2078309) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lhMe8zrEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where are these made?** A: Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. The country of origin for this self adjusting wire stripper is Taiwan. **Q: How can you tell which crimp area to use? The color codes on the tool show 2 "ranges" of wire gauge, but it looks like there are 3 crimp areas.** A: On the left there is a label ("INSUL AND NON-INSUL") that points the center of the two places to crimp, with the one closest to the pivot color coded for blue and yellow connectors (or 16 - 10 gauge), and the next crimp area for red connectors (or 22 - 18 gauge). The bump on the right side between the two is not meant for crimping. **Q: does it cut guitar strings ? how about bike break cable** A: Get a pair of piano grade wire cutters to avoid ruining your strippers, as the chaps are saying, it's good for copper and electrical cables and not suited to spring steel and bike brake cables. **Q: Anyone uses it for jewlery making? How is it? Thanks!** A: I've never used it for jewelry but it cuts wire very crisply and the nose has a flat crimper that would close small metal parts easily. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Wire Stripper *by P***C on August 7, 2026* The IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripping Tool and Cutter is a must-have for anyone working with wires.
