PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Knipex 8″ Forged Wire Stripper is a high-performance tool designed for precision and durability. Stripping 10-20 AWG solid and stranded wire, it features locating ridges for easy hole alignment and an integrated opening spring for effortless repeated use. Shear-cutting blades provide 50% higher cutting capacity and reduce cutting force by 25%, making it ideal for cutting cable, NM-B, BX, and MC.

Made from forged, multi-stage oil-hardened special tool steel with induction-hardened blades, this tool ensures long-lasting performance.
