Until I got this GREAT item, I was using (and struggling with) scissors and straight razor-blades to strip the outer plastic (or rubber?) sheath off the speaker-wires without cutting/damaging the inner copper wires. Many times I'd end up either cutting too far into the sheath and losing some of the copper-wire strands, or not cutting far enough and not being able to break through the outer sheath to the inner wires -- not to mention that, particularly when I'd use straight razor-blades, I'd inevitably wind up with various slits & cuts on my fingers.
Compared to that, stripping speaker wires with this tool was/is literally, a BREEZE!
I don't know why I waited so long (over 2 years) to get this GREAT wire stripper, and didn't just get it when I set up my sound system & speakers set up about 2½ years or so -- especially since this IRWIN Tools VISE-GRIP Multi Tool Stripper, Cutter and Crimper is pretty reasonably-priced (I got it for like $12 with free 2-day Prime shipping), given all the time & aggravation it would've saved me when originally setting up my speakers as well as maybe having to redo the wires again on some of them. But for whatever reason, I never thought about buying wire strippers because I always had scissors (and straight-razor blades) and didn't want to spend money for such a use-specific tool, when scissors would suffice. However, the vast difference between scissors (and razor-blades) and these wire strippers became CRYSTAL-CLEAR the moment I started using this tool. Like another reviewer mentioned, there's an old saying about having 'the right tools for the job" -- and that statement could not be any more correct. After the past couple years of trying to strip wires using scissors & straight razor blades, this tool is like the holy grail. Not only has it saved me from countless more cuts on my fingers, but after getting this wire stripper I was able to prepare the wires for my speakers in just a few minutes -- and although I only redid the wires for a couple speakers, with this tool, I have no doubt or worry that when the wires for rest of the speakers need to be redone, I'll be able to do it in just as short (if not shorter) of a time!
Using this IRWIN Tools VISE-GRIP Multi Tool Stripper, Cutter and Crimper was/is very easy & comfortable (especially compared to using scissors or razor blades) to use. After taking it out of the packaging, and undoing the nifty little safety latch on the device to keep it closed/immobile when not in use, I put the speaker wire in the groove specified. This tool goes from 10-20 AWG, I have mostly 16 AWG speaker wire (though the wires for some of my speakers are thinner so I put those in whatever groove they fit best in) so I put it in the 16 AWG groove, and lightly clamped it together (make sure not to clamp it TOO tight [like when using scissors] because you could end up cutting through the entire wire, instead of just the outer sheath). Anyway I clamped lightly on the speaker wire with this tool, until there was a clear slit/perforation, and then with a little separation using my fingernail, and a slight tug, I slid the outer sheath off the speaker wire, and twisted the copper wire part (so that the wires stayed together without fraying/going in all different directions) and connected it to the Sony Bookshelf Speakers at one end and the Sony Stereo Receiver at the other end.
This wire stripper seems to be solidly constructed and durable, and I'm so glad I finally decided to get one. Its made connecting/reconnecting speakers and other wire-related tasks a snap!
***** 5 STARS!!!
These strippers are very solidly built. The metal is durable and will last many, many years. I highly recommend getting the more compact 7" tool, as most projects will require you to work in smaller, cramped spaces. It has a great locking mechanism, so you can even put them in a pocket, without risking injury or damaging your clothing. The tool also comes nicely oiled. The handles are rubberized and easy and comfortable to grip. I cannot wait to use these on more projects at home and at work. This is an invaluable tool for anyone doing any capacity of wiring.
Highly recommended to buy with this tool: crimp caps and zip ties. Using the zip ties to bundle your wiring jobs will give it a much more professional look. Also, I had some trouble with stripping larger gauge wires when I clamped down at an exact 90 degree angle to the wire and pulled straight out. I found that after I clamped down, if I twisted/wiggled/turned the stripper left to right a couple times (before pulling the insulation off) it helped to cut better, without damaging the wire or failing to cut on one side. (Pretend you are rattling a doorknob to imitate this action.)
I'm already scouring my home for more projects to use these on.
Pros: they are very sharp and cut well, and the stripper notches do a good job at cutting through wire shielding. It has a pliers like grip on the nose which has come in handy more than once. It also has an area behind the hinge for crimping B-connectors, etc. Another nice feature is that it is thin and compact, which makes it nice when keeping it in a pocket or tool belt. finally, these strippers look much nicer than products from Klien, etc.
Cons: My main beef with these strippers is the spring mechanism; it is not held on very well, so it can pop out and get lost if dropped or opened to far. Also, for some reason they are labeled "Vice-Grip" instead of "Irwin", which isnt a con, but its just odd.
All said, these are a great product and i would recommend them to any of my co-workers.
