A spring-assisted stripper and crimper for 10–20 AWG solid and 12–22 AWG stranded wire, with cutting and stripping holes ahead of the pivot.
Product Overview
Match the stripping opening to the wire gauge and type; solid and stranded sizes differ.
Set the strip length for the terminal, then check the exposed conductor for any nicks.

Choose the Correct Fit
Identify the conductor gauge and whether it is solid or stranded. Select the corresponding marked stripping position or gauge-specific accessory.
Set the strip length to the connector’s requirement and test on a spare end. Inspect the exposed conductor before installing the terminal.
Installation & Care
De-energize and verify the circuit before cutting or stripping. Keep fingers and loose material away from the cutting area.
For bolt cutting, use only the listed sizes and follow the tool’s threading procedure.

Important Product Questions
Can I use a solid-wire setting on stranded wire?
Use the setting expressly marked for the conductor construction and gauge. The same AWG designation does not justify interchanging solid- and stranded-wire openings.
How much insulation should I remove?
Use the terminal or connector manufacturer’s required strip length. Test the setting, then check that no conductor is nicked and no unwanted bare wire remains exposed.
Does a crimp function cover every connector?
Match the terminal type and gauge to the tool’s crimp profile and follow the connector maker’s requirements. A general crimp function does not establish compatibility with every connector.
