Locating ridges make it easy to find stripping hole Review: Quality combination pliers - Out of all knipex pliers I own, these are my top favourite. Review: Excellent Quality & More Info - If you’re debating on getting this or still comforting the idea of struggling with your current strippers, don’t. Save yourself some time now, and money in the future, cause these are worth it. Great reviews on here but let me mention a few other things that aren’t so popular. 1) A spring is hidden on the inside of these strippers, hence the lock helps keep these closed. I know some ppl remove springs/hate them so I wanted to point this out as it’s unremovable (to my knowledge). 2) Depending on what strippers you are currently using, it may take a while to get used to. It’s balanced but it took me about a day to really be comfortable with them (coming from Milwaukee 7in1). 3) Don’t let the teeth fool you, this will not replace your linesman. Not enough leverage to splice four #12 solid wire together. Four was a struggle after some slipping, but possible, but three was definitely cleaner and easier. 4) Knipex is 10-18 solid & 12-20 stranded, as opposed to what I had on my Milwaukee 7in1, 8-18 solid & 10-20 stranded. So depending on what wires you run into on a daily, you might need an extra pair of strippers in ur bag but this will cover most common sizes. I would still highly recommend these, and would recommend the comfort grips over the red dipped. ## Features - Screw cutting cuts 6-32 and 8-32 without threading and cut be cut from either the front or the back! - Locating ridges - easy to locate stripping holes by using one of the locating ridges - Strips both solid and stranded wire from 10 to 20 AWG - Shear cutting blades offer 50% higher cutting capacity than competition and 25% cutting power reduction - Cuts cable, wires, NM-B, BX and MC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08L8D54FB | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,284 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #146 in Wire Strippers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Brand Name | KNIPEX | | Color | Atramentised / Lacquered / Burnished, Plastic Coated | | Colour | Atramentised / Lacquered / Burnished, Plastic Coated | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,599 Reviews | | Cutting width | 8 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843221023911 | | Grip Type | Multi-component | | Grip type | Multi-component | | Handle Material | Multi-component material | | Handle material | Multi-component material | | Included Components | Forged Wire Stripper | | Item Type Name | Forged Wire Stripper | | Item Weight | 277 g | | Item weight | 277 g | | Manufacturer | Knipex Tools LP | | Manufacturer Part Number | 13 72 8 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 13 72 200 ME | | Number of Items | 1 | | Set Name | Single | | Specific Uses For Product | Electrical work, wiring installation, wiring repair | | Specification Met | General Industry Standards | | UPC | 843221023911 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Colour:** Atramentised / Lacquered / Burnished, Plastic Coated - **Handle material:** Multi-component material - **Item weight:** 277 g - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Tools 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper, 8-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UdpMcM3nL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Made in?** A: Germany **Q: Can they strip Romex** A: If the question is whether there is a feature to strip the outer jacket of Romex, the answer is no. I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool. Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed. Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features. **Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?** A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up. **Q: Are these spring loaded?** A: Yes, the product features an internal spring. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality combination pliers *by M***. on 25 November 2022* Out of all knipex pliers I own, these are my top favourite. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality & More Info *by A***R on 13 September 2025* If you’re debating on getting this or still comforting the idea of struggling with your current strippers, don’t.
