Cheap January 7, 2009 If you're looking for a tool for occasional use on small wires for use on a breadboard or something similar, this tool can help keep your equipment cost down. It is easier and more reliable than side cutters or a blade when stripping solid wire for breadboard use. It avoids the small nicks to the wire that frequently occur when using those tools and so prevents the wire breaking easily when bent at that point, as is typical with breadboard jumpers.
This particular stripper comes as a bonus item with many other products.
The wire stripper portion works fairly well, but sometimes it takes a little fiddling to get it to work just right. An automatic stripper in the $10-15 range is far more effective and will last longer.
The plastic around the metal wire cutter jaw breaks after a few uses on larger wires (say, 14 gauge solid copper). After this happens the stripper portion continues to function. If you restrict it to cutting small wires it should be ok if you are careful with it.
Poorly Made December 2, 2008 I bought two of these and the first one broke after a few weeks. It would last longer if it was made all out of metal. It does strip wires though and would be good for occasional use around the home.
Buy a box of them... November 8, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This tool is incredibly poorly made. It stripped six 14 gauge braided wires before the jaws stopped clamping and cut exactly one 14 gauge wire before something inside snapped and the cutter stopped working.
Having said that, the design is wonderful--particularly if you're working jammed up under your dashboard like I was.
I wish I could find one of these made by a reputable manufacturer. Good tools are worth the money.

This type of wire stripper is cheap and doesn't necessarily last all that long, but it is so easy to use.
