Brought these to replace some snap on’s that finally gave up, used a LOT and seem sturdy, don’t use the crimp parts as I use proper crimp tools, stripper has a plastic end stop that’s useful to me, could imagine it being annoying to some but it is removable, only had one very slight issue with it not stripping some silicone covered cables, think this was more a bad quality cable than tool tho! Feel sturdy and like there gonna last, minor gripe is the exposed metal in the bottom of the handles, this should be covered over, all sparks make mistakes and not everything is dead when switched off, borrowed negatives etc or working live could be a real issue(yes I know working live is a no no but its not just me that does it).
Why didn’t I buy these before!
These make stripping wires a doddle – gone are the days of using pliers or Stanley knives and getting the size wrong. Only held a star back as they are limited in the thickness of cable they can be used o
Does The Job
There isn’t much to say, except that this cuts and strips cables easily and efficiently.
It feels like a quality product, is a nice bright colour so you don’t lose it. Most importantly, it works.
Does the job
Removes outer cable easily which was the reason for getting it. Not great at cutting.
They work
for the cost they are worth investing.and Im in the republic of Ireland
Excelle
Wish I had got this years ago saved so much time. Works perfectly
These are great.
These are brilliant, will easily strip the cover off T&E cable and then strip the individual wires without having to adjust anything.
There is a plastic clip which you can engage if youre stripping very thin wires but in my experience, you wont need this very often.
Wish i had bought them years ago.
Excellent so fa
Bought these after borrowing my mate’s to do a small rewiring job. Very impressed so far, but still early days.
Good produc
A well built robust tool, that functions extremely well – automatically adjusting to cleanly strip any size of cable – recommended .
Not buying this is just making your life harde
It’s a perfect product. If it only worked for a week it would still be worth the cost, but I’ve been stripping cables like made for weeks now. Its simple, easy and almost impossible to misuse. Buy it now and thank me later, or don’t thank me, but do buy it.
Brilliant!
Great piece of kit, works every time and very accurate
Great time saving device
I’ve been using these to strip the outer cover off 3 core wire, and then strip the 3 cores for use with ceiling uplighters. They are easy to use and have saved loads of time.
Best purchase I ever made.
If you are thinking about buying this but you’re unsure because you still do it the old fashioned way forget about that and buy it quickly! You can thank me later!
One of the coolest tools I ow
Not only was this a useful tool for wire stripping and cutting, it was pretty fascinating to watch all the moving parts and try to understand how it works. Kept me entertained for a while. Perhaps I need to get out more 🙂
Brilliant tool!
I found this Stanley automatic wire stripper a brilliant piece of kit. Made stripping my speaker cables so much more easy and less time consuming and fidgety. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking on getting some.
Measurement stop gets in the way
Poor function unless you move the mearsurement bar; otherwise it is actually really good
How have I lived without these all my life???
When you first use these you question why you haven’t bought these before. No messing around with plyers or knives, 2 clicks and done, your wire is ready. Absolute must for the tool case, should last a lifetime.

Best Wire Stripper I have ever used

Great tool to have
Perfect tool to have around the house for the odd wiring job
Buy the best leave the rest.
Easy to use wasted my money on the others. Buy the best once and for all.
Stanley fatmax wire strippe
What a great little wire stripper, so easy to use . Does single and multiple cables. Well happy with it…..
Does what it says in the tin. Got exactly what I was looking for. Well happy with the product.
The tool works great for the job, bought for. There’s nothin to dislike. Great tool.
Excelle
Why did I not buy one of these years ago? Absolutely life-changing.
Good wire strippers.
I used these to strip the outer casing and the plastic insulation on individual wires. Much easier, more accurate and safer than using a Stanley knife!!
Excellent electrician’s tool.
Rewiring a garage, need to cut cable, strip outside, expose wires. This ool does it all totally effectively.
Wire cutte
Bought this for my partners son who is a trainee electrician and he’s loving i
Great Tool
This tool makes cutting wires soooo simple. No more cutting through cables accidentally, it really is fool proof!
Does what I need
If you do any – I repeat any – electrical work, it will likely include removing the insulation from cable and/or flex. You will utterly bless the day you acquired one of these automatic wires strippers. No, really, you will…
So far, this Stanley item has worked, and indeed worked well, so cannot fault it. Recommended

Where has this thing been my whole life?
I love this tool. I seriously wish I would have discovered it earlier, because now I feel like I’ve been needlessly working in hard-mode before it coming into my life. I’ve tried it on a variety of cable and wire sizes without any issue and without it cutting too deep or shallow. It’s right on the money every time.

Doesnt always strip smaller wires!
Generally I like this tool, however it doesnt always strip the inner wires and often needs two or three goes. The cutter is good and has not failed yet even on 1.5 m flex cable.

Great but limited to a couple of tasks
Great but limited to a couple of tasks. What it does it does very well, just could have had more to it…especially for the price, but I wouldn’t be without it now.
Stripper great, wire cutter OK
The stripper works great, but after a short amount of use I’d say the wire cutter is average at best.

Easy tool. Good feel in the hand
The fatmax has cut a variety of wire easy and accurate without force of the tool
Should've bought one of these ages ago...
Bought one of these to try as I have a load of lights, lights witches, sockets, fused connection units and a consumer unit to install for a outdoor building project. Perfect for 1.5 and 2.5mm twin and earth as it simply ‘bites and strips’ automatically. I really don’t know why I didn’t buy one of these ages ago. It’s not like I hadn’t heard of them…

Works Well
Have been struggling with wire stripping for years as an avid DIYer. Had some cheap plier type ones but they were not very effective. You have to pull the relaxant insulation but the rubber covers on the handles just pulled off before the insulation did. Usually resorted to a Stanley knife but doing that makes it very easy to damage the copper wire or knick other bits of insulation.
Also my arthritic hands are getting worse and make it difficult to grip many of the tools I have used for years.
This piece of kit is very good, once you get the hang of it.
Very accurate and neat. Handles are long enough to give me enough leverage with the hand problem I have.

Great to had one in the house.
Really handy to had one in your toolbox. Save me time to cut with another tool.
The usual Stanley quality
This is a good quality easy to use wire stripper and is well worth the price.
Once you work out how to use it, it's invaluable.
Bought this device to help with lighting project. So glad I invested, needed to trim many cables. It is reliable and strips very well.
Essential item for any tool box.
Cuts all sizes cables
Easy to use well made and cuts three core cables no problem
Sturdy version of this type of stripper.
My trusty CK strippers of about 20 years finally died when one of the springs snapped and it all went ping over the garage. So I searched for a replacement and decided to take a chance on these.
They seem to be well made of decent materials and are slightly chunkier than my old ones. Other than that, they seem identical apart from the colour.
The strip is a little ragged, but ease of use and speed trump that little issue. They are an essential part of my tool kit that I missed when the old ones broke.

A cut above the res
Used this tool to re wire my veteran car. Why have I struggled for 50 yrs with the other type of cutters? This the Rolls Royce of strippers.
Wow
No more teeth method wire stripping for me
Absolutely amazing product, spent all weekend stripping random wires, felt like a professional electrician! Not sure the wife was that impressed though

So satisfying
Honestly, I quite happily sit on the sofa stripping wire all day long. It’s that much fun.
Oh, and it’s really good at what it does. There’s a limit obviously to the thickness of the wire you can fit in there but for me with some force I was able to get all the wires I needed to be stripped, stripped.
I’ve no idea about the crimping options it provides because there are many and I don’t do any crimping but I’m sure it’s good for people who know about these things.
The wire cutter section could do with being a little bigger though frankly but that’s a minor thing and nice that there even is one at all.

Does that fiddly job of stripping wires so easily!
Only found out about these tools recently.. watched a couple of videos to see if they really work, and they do. Easy to use and well built.
Essential part if my tool ki
After my CK gave up the ghost I opted for Stanley fat max strippers
So far very good indeed
Wire strippers and cutters
Easy strips any cable up to 6mm no need to adjust for different size cable, great tool
Top quality.
Works better than any of the cheaper ones I have used before , only deals with cable up to 6mm though.
Amazing
I was sceptical when I purchased this. How could it possibly strip the wire and not mess it up.
But somehow it does. Every time. To perfection. So glad I purchased this!

Repaired cut hedge trimmer cord
Cut my hedge trimmer wire being clumsy in the heat after a workout in the gym. Was gutted but knew I could repair the wire.
Seen people strip wires with pliars and all sorts and it looks shoddy, and then they go and wrap electrical tape around it. Wasn’t going to happen with me. Never stripped a wire before so I bought this and it’s perfect.
Bought an IP68 junction box, stripped the wires,fixed it all up and used the trimmer today.

Brilliant for Amateurs
Brilliant, for an amateur, little tricky with rubber wire covers
Works like a charm very happy
Works like a charm makes the job much easier, seems very durable too
Great Tool
So useful to have a tool that strips and cuts, all good and easy to use.
Brillia
These wire strippers are just brilliant,it’s as simple as that. You wouldn’t expect anything less from Stanley Tools
Handy cutters
I`ve used them on a job 9 lights 10 sockets. Stripping conduit cable was easy. Up a ladder cutting the length for a Wago. The only down side was after a while the cutters started to clog up and slip. Bit of clean and were good to go.
People hate them but all around strippers flex, then the cores in one easy action. I use them ALL the time now.

Magic! Makes working with wiring a breeze. Easy to adjust too.
Got this on offe
Always wanted these, got them on offer, really brilliant for stripping the wire
Wire stripping the easy way.
Great bit of kit. Makes all your wire stripping and crimping look professional.
Very good quality
Really good quality product. They do exactly what I need them to. Very easy to use wish I’d found them years ago.
STANLEY FATMAX Automatic Wire Strippe
Does a perfect job. I can’t recommend these enough.
For years I used my teeth but as I’m getting older I feel it so it was time to buy the tool for the job.
My teeth have thanked me for that.

Good for thicker cables
These are great for reasonably thick gauge cables, I found on thinner ones it struggles to grip the outer sheath enough to get a good clean strip.
Very easy to use, just pop the cable into the jaws horizontally and squeeze the handles together – it strips the outer sheath off easily. There is also a small adjustable plastic bit that you can use to get every cable to the same length strip.
Handy tool and would highly recommend over manually stripping cables.

So easy I used it one handed
Disability Approved – Worked perfectly to shorten my light bulb cable. I was able to use one handed with very little trouble.
Solid tool
As an industrial sparky i didnt have much use for this tool in my 9-5 job, however when im doing my own jobs on the side it is such a timesaver, leaves a nice neat cut and is a strong sturdy piece of kit, definite time save
These are a must buy...
These Fat Max wire strippers will save you loads of time.
Just starting out as an electrician, required my garage – 15 sockets, new consumer unit, 20 down lighters – it’s a big garage / man cave.
SAVED ME A LOAD OF TIME opposed to using wire cutters or a knife.
Could not recommend enough…

Electricians' Dream
What a fabulous tool. All the guesswork taken out of wire stripping – no more cut wires or fingers using a Stanley knife, a great design and a boon to anybody doing wiring.

Excellent.
Excellent tool. I have used it couple of times now and it seems very good quality.
OMG!!!
OMG!! Should have bought this years ago. Brilliant tool. So easy!! buy it!!!
Essential Tool
The best tool for wire stripping ever. Strips wires but also removes sheath from things like three core or twin and earth with ease. They almost seem like magic they work so well. Great for hobbyists and pros alike.

I prefer the older method but my son, who is just starting in the electrical trade, has been using these and finds them very easy to use. Can use to strip the outer sheath and inner cores on T&E in any easy motio

This is the shizz for cutting cables like a pro
I had a cheaper cable trimmer that worked 1 out of 4 attempts, it also never worked as a cutter on anything thicker than a human hair. This bad boy works 100% of the time on any thickness of cable I have had need to use in a domestic setting. You can cut with one section then stick the cut end in the top bit, press it together and the outer layer is stripped with no damage to the inner layer. Awesome and such a time saver even if you dont often do DIY.

Dream Tool!
Why I did not get one of these earlier is beyond me! Trying to use a stanley knife and the perils of cutting into the wrong cables or pliers and not getting the correct length disappear with the cable cutting abilities of this tool. Tip – You have to make sure that you remove the plastic stripped ends off the cables from the cutter though otherwise the next strip is not good! Really easy to use and very good quality.

Really good
Had these for a couple of months and they work really well, They aren’t an everyday tool but when I do pick them up they work perfectly
Good for second fixing down lights
Thought it was a gimmick product initially but I mainly use these for second fixing downlights and they work well for that and leave a satisfying straight cut on the outer sheath of flat grey twin and earth, they do cut 3 core and earth flat grey but it can be a slight struggle, good product overall though

Very happy
Absolute doddle to use. As a Diy’er I don’t expect to use them often but even using them once or twice a yr makes them a worth while purchase.
Time saving
A good accurate & time saving tool, I would recommend it also at a fair price
Good quality wire strippers
These things are brilliant. Very good quality and well,……basically strips wires. Nuff said!
good
Works well for wire stripping. The wire cutting bite could be a bit better but the cable stripper is very good. Solid build.
Fantastic piece of Ki
I had quite a bit of wiring to do for a home project so invested in one of these. I’m so glad I did as it cut the stripping time down considerably. Thoroughly recommended.
