IDEAL Electrical Stripmaster Wire Stripper, 45-292, #10-22 AWG

I'm not an expert; I'm just an electronics/home improvement hobbyist who was looking for an American-made product with user-replaceable parts that will last. I've only had it a month or so, but it appears to be well-made, works perfectly, costs less than foreign competitors, and is as fun to use as a wire stripper can be. I don't even work in a tangentially related industry, but I use this thing nearly every day and it makes my life easier. Can't ask for much more.

Best wire stripper I've ever used. Smooth, easy to use, sharp accurately aligned blades. works perfectly every time on all sizes of wire. A joy to use.

I noticed a fellow at work using this tool and had to have it. This tool doesn't seem to be available in stores (none that I ever seen) but it is invaluable in my profession as an AV installer-better than using a standard wire stripper as this tool grips the wire close to where it is being stripped so that the insulation doesn't stretch and reduce insulating qualities-useful as well for house wiring (personally found it valuable for the time I had a cast on my left hand-I can strip wires single handedly! Super-tech!)

Bought these to replace a set 35+ years old. Old pair finally gave up. Should be ready for another 35 years now.

These are great for the sizes of wire they support. The won't do every wire out there, but the ones they will do, they do the best.

After researching wire strippers and reviews online I settled on the Ideal Stripmaster. I tried it right away and after a few attempts I got the hang of it. I did notice that after making the strip if I opened the stripper the wire end crushed. I tried a few more attempts and found that after making the strip if you squeezed again and then slightly released the grips the gripping end of the stripper dropped open and released the wire and the stripped end wasn’t damaged. This is a great tool!

Yes there are lots of much simpler,newer strippers but this one still works the best. It won't 'nick' the wire which is a common ,unnoticed defect with the simpler strippers.That weakens the copper at a critical location. The downside is you need to keep it clean,rust free and lightly lubricated.

Working in the electronics and electrician field for over 50 years, I have stripped lots of wires and used many types and brands of wire strippers. This type of cut and pull stripper is the only one that I can recommend. Ideal brand is the only one I recommend. It is MADE IN AMERICA and its quality is the best. There are several copy cat strippers in stores that are made in China, but you know how their quality is no matter what brand name is on it. Most people will only need to buy one Ideal stripper in their lifetime, its that good.

Excellent quality and price. I have a feeling this is the same tool you get when you buy through Bue Point/Snap-On but at much lower cost. Very happy.

Mon chum est vraiment content. C'est le modèle qu'il voulait

This is the second pair I have had, first pair lasted over 20 years with all original parts and I am a full time licensed electrician.

Pour filage nautique

I bought it just in case, because I have another old good IDEAL T-stripper. And I decided to try the new Stripmaster. After the first use for stripping the AWG 18 wire, it immediately broken.
