Great tool
This tool makes all the difference to wire stripping. No more wrecked and painful fingers. I actually own a competitors version of this, but bought this one for my dad. He’s really pleased with it and wishes he’d had one a long time ago. This was cheaper than the competitors version when I bought it, but with rubber grip is also more comfortable than my solid metal version. Takes a bit of trial and error to get the hang of the where to cut for the required length, worth a quick review of videos on youtube.
Very Worthwhile and So Clever!
A remarkably useful wire stripper which does more than I had realised – removing the cover and then stripping the conductors – all without having to select sizes or settings. This tool is a great boon to those like me that previously struggled with pliers and kitchen knives! Also, it cuts and crimps.

Very easy to use.
Very easy to use. You simply slot the wire between the jaws and squeeze the handles. You don’t even have to adjust it for the wire size as it does all that. There is a little screw that allows you to adjust the grip that the tool applies to the cable but I find that leaving it in the middle of the adjustment range is just fine.
There is a stop that you can use to set the amount of insulation that is removed (the little yellow thing in the pictures) but you can rotate it out of the way and judge it by eye if you want.
There is a also basic crimping feature that will crimp both insulated and non-insulated terminals. The single slot marked with 3 coloured dots does the 3 most commonly used colour coded insulated terminals and the remaining slots are for non-insulated terminals.
Strips pretty much anything I’ve asked it to
Really impressed with these. They work by holding the wire and then tearing off the end to be stripped by gripping with the teeth, therefore do not need adjustment. This also stops you damaging layers of insulation underneath the layer being stripped since it doesn’t cut through. I’ve stripped electrical wire for lighting (first the outer insulation, then the inner in two steps) and speaker wire. I’ve not done Ethernet or phone wire so not sure how well it deals with very fine wire but very satisfied with them.

Best wire stripper eve
This is the best wire stripper I have ever owned, so good in fact I bought one for my dad as well and he loves his as well
Great tool
These made easy work of stripping cables and saved a huge amount of time and hassle. Well worth the investment.
This is by far the best all round tool for the basics when it comes to wiring. It’s super easy to strip wires with this (up to 1.5mm 3 core comfortably, 2.5mm 3 core at a push) and for basic crimping it works well. Adjustable tension makes it easy to adapt to whatever flex you are working with.

A MUST HAVE
Definitely the best wire stripper out there. A must have for any electrician/DIY people
Good quality
For the price these are very good wire stripper. Comfortable to use and quite effective. I would recommend.
Great product every electrician should have
Decided to try these on second fixing at work and they made the whole process so easy and comforting, one of the handiest tools I own now !
just the job
This is what all diy electricians are looking for. Takes off wire coverings a treat when stripping ends
Wow what a fantastic product and I wish I’d bought them years ago. I’ve always made do with the old type of wire cutters. These arrived just a short while ago and I was keen to try them straight away. I’ve done a short video as I was so impressed at how quick and easy it is to cut different types of wire using these cutters. So I’ve cut ring main cable, a normal extension lead type cable 13 amp and finally just to test the limits I tried an old phone cable. Absolutely no adjustments required on any of the cables, just place the cable between the jaws squeeze the handles and hey presto, the wire is stripped.

Bit hard to use at first but soon get used to i
Made my wireing jobs so much easier fitted lights and power output in my shed in like 2 hours and a extra aerial in my mom’s conservatory
Product review
The item arrived the next day and the cutters does what it said on the box very pleased with it so fa
Wire strippe
Only used once however, it did the job of stripping the seething and sleeving from the T&E cable I was uskling
So easy to use, it looks complicated but you simply insert the end of the cable or wire and squeeze the handles – perfectly clean stripped ends, ready to clamp or connect.
Wish I’d bought it at the start of the ‘garden illumination project’ instead of near the end, would have saved me hours!
Highly recommended product.

Dug my heels in for years not using wire strippers – finally got fed up with slicing my thumb skin stripping back multiple T&E cables on larger jobs, so took the plunge. Not disappointed – works great, and almost paid for themselves in Plasters & Insulation tape (to hold the plasters on 😉 ). Bonus is that it will also strip the outer insulation of up to 2.5mm T&E (poss 4mm T&E at a push). Great product at a great price. Wouldn’t be without now.

Exactly as described - one tool fit all
Didn’t use it much but for what I need to do with it it’s perfect. I’am using to change electrical wiring on my motorcycle and its the perfect tool for the job. Sharp, really good precision, no effort needed.
OK...
Does the job but the CK are smoother and require less force.
Excellent strippers and crimp tool
Excellent strippers and crimp tool. Very well made and makes stripping cables simple no matter how big or small
Great tool
Excellent product. Just keep in mind you need certain length of cable available to be able to use this wire stripper (ie if the cable just comes out of a bigger assembly, you will have to disassemble the rest of the cables before you can the one you need). Delivery was quick as usual.

Great cable stripper, shame there are no instructions with it.
Best wire and cable stripper Ive ever seen. Instructions are non-existent, and I doubt one could work it out for one’s self – as it is a strange looking instrument. I went on Youtube and found a video of one being used, before I could start.
Can't recommend this enough for a simple DIY-e
Great kit. Finally had a chance to use it and got to admit, it’s the best wire stripper I ever used. If you’re wondering whether to buy or not then don’t hesitate.
Great design, comfortable in the hand, no issues with it. Fairly robust, gives me the feel of “this thing will last a long time” which I suppose is what you’re looking for in all tools.
It’s probably not a professional tool but for a general DIYer it’s perfect. I have now stripped small cables and a 10mm flat flex and it handled that perfectly!

It's brilliant. Get one
This is the closest thing to a magic wand I’ve ever bought.
I chose this to help with wiring large a workshop with sockets and lighting – all solid core cable. I’d say it saved me at least half a day on that job alone. Lights were terminated one-handed up a ladder and the sockets were sorted in moments.
It’s brilliant. Get one.
Does the job
Used daily at work. Does the job well. Just remember that if the cables are slipping, you can adjust the tension.
Handy tool to have.
Spot on with woks well. Had it now for a while and not had any problems with it.
looks great, haven't had a chance to use it but ...
Arrived on time, looks great, haven’t had a chance to use it but it looks like a great tool and I do have a few jobs coming up which I will use it on. thanks
Why didn't someone tell me these existed years ago? !!
Oh wow – how easy is stripping wires now! They don’t come with instructions so I found some wiring to try it out and spent the evening cutting and stripping, just cos it was so easy! Love, love, love them. My new toy.
Invaluable tool.
I should have bought this years ago. It does away with a knife, pliers and teeth. Some people have said it’s not solid but mine has been working fine for a year now.
Excellent purchase
I’m a general builder, kitchen fitter & have been using these strippers the last couple of days. They are unbelievably good, so easy to use & adjust to suit different types of cable. They are now a permanent fixture in my tool bag.
Shopfitte
This is my third pair I have bought can’t stress what a good product they are I am a very heavy user some days striping 200 to 400 light fitting a day
Work well
There are always limits with these strippers, but these are as good as any I have previously had. Very good for stripping the outer insulation off twin and earth cable up to 2.5mm. I wish someone would make a set that coped with bigger cable.
Goog diy use
Arrived on time in good condition. These are a replacement for my one that broke after years of use, so far they gave a good performance giving a clean cut. I only use mine for diy use but seam to be solid.
Buy one.
Excellent wire stripping tool. I only wish I had purchased this sooner. If you do any electrical work either as a DIY, handy man or pro. This tool will save you hours and help make a much neater job. Excellent!
Four Stars
Easy to use as long as you use the correct size wire.
If you are looking for a multi-purpose cable stripper this is ideal. It’ll do up to 6mm twin and earth and all the way down to headphone audio cables. It’ll strip the outer jackets of cable insulation as well as the individual cable’s insulation. It saves nicking the copper with a Stanley knife (and risking ampuitating your thumb!). It’ll also let you cut cables cleanly to cut down on wastage. I haven’t used it for any crimping so I can’t comment.
It feels sturdy and durable. It’s perfect for professional and DIY use. Every electrician needs this as it’s a timesaver as well as something that cuts and strips neatly.

Every DIYer should have one
No idea how I put up with stripping wires with a Stanley knife and/or a pair of pliers for all those years. Got a set of these and never looked back. Treat yourself or put them on your birthday list because you’re worth it.
Great kit.
amazing bit of kit. So good I got another pair for my son in law for Xmas! he has yet to change a plug but the day will come. they make the job of stripping wires for appliances Sooo much easier.
Very happy use them all the time
Exactly the same as outher brands just different colour handles . Very happy use them all the time.
Highly Recommended
Fantastic strippers. Solidly built and strip excellently without damaging the conductor. I have used these to strip countless wires from computer power supplies to change connectors, and they have been very reliable.
Works stupidly easy. Wish I'd got some sooner.
Works flawlessly, with one big action. Soooo much nicer than a cheapo set of piers with ever-decreasing holes.
Fantastic Tool
Fantstic Tool- does what it is supposed to do and the price was good. Made my job of rewiring so much more easier. It is well built and feels solid in your hand.
Stripping Sensational.
Strips wires, no bother.
If you’re still using pliers or a knife just bite the bullet, don’t be a scrub, pay the 10 or whatever and make your life easier. Crimps connections with the lower section so its a double win. Oh and the handle is nicer than say a CK one that’s similar also the length gauge on that one broke so i gave it away.
Great product, just as described
Great product, just as described, does everything it is expected to do. My other half is a lift engineer and it has come in very useful. Nice grip on the handles and feels nice in the hand.
Very sturdy and solid build
Very sturdy and solid build. The wire stripping function works but is not that great. It pulls the plastic around the cable rather than cut it so, it often leaves some behind that needs manual tidying. Wire cutting function works but could be sharper as you do need some force to get through a thicker cable. All in all, it just about does the jobs it claims to do for a reasonable price.
An Absolute MUST HAVE
I can’t recommend these enough, I do a lot of repairs of household appliances and I have found these to be so easy I wish I had bought them years ago. I can cut and strip a household 2 wire cable in less than one minute. For just a DIY’er or a professional, this is a must have!
Strip wires like a pro
Robust, quick and easy to use tool that strips regular wires perfectly, without any skill required at all. No idea what the the ‘finger moveable’ adjustment dial with plus and minus signs does, and no instructions enclosed so I have left it alone. Wire cutting bevel edge has worn somewhat and does not always cut fully through. However, overall well worth the money to achieve safe and properly cut wires.
So easy
After many years of just using wire cutters to strip wires, this makes it so much easier! Amazing range of diameter wire this will strip, even stranded. Highly recommend. Been using for a few months now, not had a single problem.
Turned up in the post rapidly, nicely packaged and no issues at all. Tried then put on some small speaker cable upto some cooker cable, and a bit of normal flex too; these work an absolute treat every single time! I wish I’d bought some before doing up my house now!! Well worth every single penny.

Brilliant wire strippers. Looked at some Youtube demos to get the best out the product. Cuts cables…Strips the outside cable covering brilliantly… then strips the individual wires! Wouldn’t be without them now!

The best Electrical tool i have ever purchased.
As a non-electrician, i always find cutting the main sheaf around the 3 wires the hardest, cut too deep and you go through 1 of them, cut too shallow then it won’t pull off!This fantastic tool removes the main (outer) sheaf WITHOUT damaging the 3 wires. I would give it 10 stars if possible.
It works!!
After much frustration stripping wires using a Stanley knife on my old MGB, bought this. Can’t believe how simple and effective it is. Very good quality – looks to be good for many years
Really useful tool!
This was a present for my Son. He is really pleased with it and several of his friends, having seen it in use, have also brought one.
Even I have got one now
Works well
Works well, quality seems fine. Hard to get a very accurate cut/strip but that is down to the soft insulation on cables and the way this kind of stripper works. So far no damage to the conductors which is the main thing. Pleased with purchase.
Strips wires but not great for Rj45 caps
Spent a good few minutes looking at this device to try to figure out how it works and then realised that the idea of these wire strippers is to rip the shielding off the cables and whilst it does it well, the ripping doesn’t leave a clean end for doing things like adding an RJ45 clip.
You can add a clip but it’s not as clean as something like the CSTOM Cable Stripper.
You can adjust the severity of the grip and thus how deep it will grip and rip the cable sheath and so it can make stripping fast for jobs like punching down into patch panels but I still prefer the CSTOM stripper as mentioned above

Quality make and finish; smooth and efficient operatio
These are quality made and finished with smooth efficient operation. Great fit in the hand for constant use replacing flat twin & earth 2.5mm and 4mm multicore cable. DO NOT buy the imitations or parrot nose alternatives – they’re rubbish – these FatMax are great.
Works well
Effective wire stripper, works well on all sizes tried so far. Smaller calbes are harder to strip than bigger ones and it can be a little tricky to get into position due to the size of the tool.
Overall it’s far better than the cheaper pliers type.
These so far are excellent and will cut and strip 2
After installing an array of down lights in my loft and not having a decent set of strippers i had to buy a set.
These so far are excellent and will cut and strip 2.5mm twin and earth no problem. They will strip both the outer grey nicely and the inner alike. I should have brought these sooner.
Should have got these sooner!
Oh just buy these! I’ve been using standard strippers all those cheapo ones you get and thought “why would I waste money on those sure I can strip wires anyway!”.. I was wrong. The job is so much faster and simpler.. not to mention the crimp quality. Top notch Stanley. Top notch.
Great quality, robust and excellent function. A must for an electrical of DIYe
I had previously bought a cheaper brand wire stripper which had failed after a short period and when this item came up on special offer i couldn’t resist. Soft rubber grips ensure that you won’t slip and the precision action of the jaws self adjusts to your chosen cable diameter without any user adjustment necessary. The jaws also have a helpful scale on the side and a small plastic adjustable stop to help get the same length of exposed conductor every time. I have used them for a couple of months now and they are just brilliant. They also come with a cable cutter and crimp sections within the inside edge of the handle but i would only recommend cutting small diameter cable with this. I haven’t used the crimper section yet but its handy to have it there and not have to carry an additional tool.

Great time saving bit of kit.
I bought these for the missus who’s just feeling her way into her new career as a sparky.
Having used them myself, they feel robust in hand and the mechanism is satisfyingly clean.
Really easy to use product, I don’t know how any electrician could do without one as they save such a lot of time.
I like it, cheap as chips and made installing a voltmeter in my car a doddle.
I have reduced mobility in my main hand due to a tendon laceration which can make simple tasks such a stripping/cutting wire difficult. Not with this!
Even allowed me to pull sheath apart to attach device to existing cable run, very neat.
Disability approved!
cutting edge stuff
Really good, better than expected as my old wire stripper has gone missing AWOL. So when this one came up on an offer had to try it as it was much cheaper than my old one. So far(only had a couple of weeks) has worked perfectly. If it comes back on offer may get a spare.
Great feel and lots of adjustment too
Really good quality item which I bought to strip wire in the middle of a run in order to splice in a soldered joint.
The pliers are a joy to use, very well made and have a quality feel about them with lots of adjustments available to carry out a clean splice without damage to the wire.
They incorporate a crimping function too but I would recommend a plier specifically for this purpose as it is easy to incorrectly crimp connectors leading to failure. However with care they will produce a reasonable crimp.
They do the job I wanted, and often perform, safely and without damage to the wire. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Should have bought ages ago
A fantastic piece of kit.
Comes supplied in the usual plastic display packaging (which is a pain to remove in my opinion),
Strips outer casing of twin and earth cable, and the individual live and neutral cables with ease. No more using a knife or wire cutters for me!
Allows measurement of length to be stripped and a ‘stop’ to be set to allow repeat lengths to be stripped.
Allows a centre section of wire to be exposed to allow a wire tap to be soldered in to extend or create a new circuit – very useful for automotive use!
Wire cutters seem good and cut 2.5mm twin and earth with ease.
Only possible downside is that very thin cables cannot be stripped as it cannot be gripped (unless someone knows how to adjust the wire grips?)
Can’t see me using crimping section, but useful to have it there.

Very well made no problems cuts and strips wire like a hot knife thru butter.
Crimps and attaches clips with ease.
Compared to others of similar type that I’ve had over the years these are a doddle to use.
Did exactly what i needed it to do
Did exactly what i needed it to do, was able to power through stipping everhthing for solid core mains cables to skinny LED 12v leades when adding muliple transfromeds adn LED Downlighters to the kitche
Cracking wire stripper!
Wow is this thing well made ! I’m a bloke who appreciates a well made piece of kit and this most certainly doesn’t disappoint. Nice and weighty, easy to adjust and has stripped everything i’ve put in it 1st time. Very impressed ! Would recommend
Strips wires
Love this thing. running up to 2.5mm twin and earth and can take the grey covering off then bare the ends with the same tool one handed. It IS a bit tight getting the grey off, wish it was just a tiny bit wider.
Quality
Part time diy’er… and wanted something to help cut away the outer shielding on some 1.5mm-2.5mm twin and earth. This tool really pays for itself as it’s easy and very quick at removing the outer pce. Fantastic. In addition I used it on some 6core alarm cable and it work well. Also it’s really good when you need to remove more of the outer cable I.e to fit junction boxes ect..
One of my best tools
Fed up of using my old basic cable stripper I thought I’d give this a go, as the reviews were pretty positive on the whole. It literally takes seconds to strip the outer sheath and then do the inner wires either separately or in one hit. The plastic yellow length limiter is the only potential weak point, as it could easily be lost or damaged amongst other tools in my bag but it’s really not a deal-breaker.
I only wish I could give this tool ten stars, it’s that good.

Great tool, but more suited to fatter wiring
Nice tool. It failed to strip lengths of 10mm RGBW cable until i separated the five cores, which was a bit tedious, but other than that it’s been good.
If you need to strip Wires, these are what ...
If you need to strip Wires, these are what you need. Very reliable and does the job well, even with really thin wires.
Every electrician needs a set of these!
I bought these to replace an old pair of Rolson wire strippers – what a revelation – I’ve been using these for several months now and they’re superb. They’re at their limit with standard mains flex, but that covers most cable sizes anyway.
Yet to prove their value but seem OK
Durable but fiddly when insulation clogs mechanism. I don’t think these will last forever but they’ll survive long enough for me to get good value out of them.
Excellent hard working tool
These are a must for my son who is starting his electricians appreticeship. He is double chuffed with them.
He showed me how to use them, stripping the outer cover on a 3 core cable, then stripping the individual cores to just the length he neeeded.
The handle also incorporates a cutter and crimping notches to attach the copper tails. Very impressed.
Awesome wire strippers but can be had for half the price
Awesome product and works extremely well at stripping wires. I bought this without doing much research and although the product works perfectly it seems this product are made in a factory somewhere with different brand names slapped on them. If you look you can find the exact same product for less than half the price………..
BRILLIANT
POSSIBLY THE EASIEST STRIPPERS IVE USED. NO HASSLE AND NO WASTE. ONLY DOWN SIDE WAS THAT THEY CANT TRIM VERY THIN CABLE LIKE ALARM CABLE, IT JUST TENDERED TO SNAP IT, I WOULD MARK THEM DOWN FOR THAT AS THEY EXCEL IN EVERY OTHER WAY
Very useful tool
I wish I’d known such a device existed before it is really useful. It makes awkward wire stripping much easier especially outer insulation. This particular seller provided a very reasonably priced model within a very quick delivery time
Superb Stanley
Great, quality wire strippers from a trusted brand.
These are brilliantly made strippers that look and feel like they’re going to last a long time.
They work effortlessly – once you’ve realised how to work them!
Great bit of kit.
Well built, good results.
Very good results. Very happy. Had several different types of strippers in the past, but so far this is the best type of stripper I ever used. Copes with thinner and thicker wires. Not the thinnest and not the thickest. But is strips electrical wires for home use extremely well (extension leads, telephone wires, etc.)
Pretty well foolproof for amateurs like me.
I’m very much an amateur so far as things electrical are concerned. Until I discovered this tool the little wires inside a cable were never too much of a problem. I always had trouble though with the outer covering. A fraction too much pressure and I had cut into one of the smaller jobs inside. This dedicated tool has been a great joy to me. It cuts through the outer cable covering – albeit sometimes with more than one squeeze of the handles – and it will deal with the inner wires either one at a time or individually if you want differing lengths. The instructions aren’t as clear as they might be for people like me but you will discover by trial and error, for example, that the small yellow spacer can be moved out of the way entirely when necessary. Nonetheless it is very good value for money.
I had seen one of these products being used by an engineer doing some wiring work. When stripping wires of any size within the spec., the tool does the job much easier than a standard stripper. Next day, free delivery (I am a Prime member) helped make this an all round excellent purchase.
Great Tool
Love this wire stripper works great, had a few on my electrical course and everyone wanted to use them as they make any job quick and easy. Now i have my own i keep it close by when on any job. Well worth the money and god value.
