Product Description

The Heavy Duty Wiring Tool for Pros and DIYers

Neiko's 3-in-1 automatic wire stripper is a multi-use electrical wiring tool designed for both professional and home use.

Most wire strippers require two hands and some guesswork. Neiko's 3-In-1 Automatic Wire Stripper changes this by doing the stripping for you, with only one hand. To use, simply place your wire between the two machined jaws at the tool's head, select the desired exposed wire length (1/4-inch to 3/4-inch) using the flip-up red gauge stopper, and squeeze. The two jaws clamp down, automatically selecting the right tension to hold the wire without damaging it, and pull insulation away. The result is a perfectly stripped wire. The tool is compatible with 10-24 gauge wires, and includes a micro-adjustment thumb wheel for setting tension and clearance for smaller gauge wires beyond 20 AWG.

Wire Cutting and Wire Crimping

Wire cutter and wire crimper functionality built into the spring-loaded handle of this tool make it a must-have addition to any professional or DIY electrician tool kit. Wire cutting high-frequency heat treated blades make clean cuts on wires from 10-24 AWG, while the crimper tool crimps wires rated 10-22 AWG insulated, 4-22 AWG non-insulated and 7-8 mm auto ignited terminals.

625 customers mention427 positive198 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the wire stripper. Some mention that it makes good quality cuts all the way through the casing, is constructed well, and is really nice pliers. However, others say that it recurring issue is that with shorter sections of small solid core wire, (20awg or smaller) it will, it might be hard to grab a wire, and that the adhesive used to hold the handle grips is of poor quality.

101 customers mention66 positive35 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the wire stripper. Some mention that it's medium size and suitable for electronics and appliances, while others say that it is too small, the handle space is too tight to get proper leverage for a proper crimp, and it'd be difficult to use in tight spaces.

"...Then it’s a special trip when I need them. These are small and they pull double duty, so that’s more efficient carrying...." Read more

"...I tried it on the PVC casing of 3-wire #14 house wire. It doesn't fit into the jaws, so obviously that does not work...." Read more

"Great for small sized wires. Would to add a built in screw driver set as well to make it more handy...." Read more

73 customers mention35 positive38 negative

Customers are mixed about the sharpness of the wire stripper. Some mention that the pliers and cutter are very sharp, while others say that the stripping edge bites harder than the holding teeth, so it either slips or does not cut cleanly.

"...I bought one of these and fell in love.PROS:-Strippers are sharp, precise, and long lasting. Size assortment is perfect...." Read more

"...It's very easy to cut too deep, sever the wire and have to start over again...." Read more

"...Stripper is super sharp and crimper area is angled sufficiently as to provide a great non slip crimp." Read more

"...version of this and it is not.. Difference is there is no wore cutters on the front jaws of the tool...." Read more

110 customers mention31 positive79 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the grip of the wire stripper. They mention that the handles slide off after a few uses, they keep moving on them, and they have problems getting a good grip on the insulation. Some customers also mention that one handle won't stay on and the plastic on the handle fell off first use.

"I like these strippers a lot, unfortunately one grip fell off the first day in use. Now the second one is loose as well...." Read more

"...Sometimes the gripping jaws wouldn't grip either so I had to apply pressure to both sets of jaws with my free hand...." Read more

"Great for gripping power. Well made! Easy to handle" Read more

"The plastic grips on the handles slide off after not much use. I had to super glue them back on but I shouldn't have to...." Read more

Nice thick steel, wok well, definitely would recommend these. comparable to the snap-on equivalent (which I also own) but 1/5 the price.Not quite as nice as the snap-on ones but considering you can buy 5 of these compared to one of the other, for general crimping/stripping use these are great.

I use wire strippers but not all the time, so I end up not carrying them b/c they’re too bulky. Then it’s a special trip when I need them. These are small and they pull double duty, so that’s more efficient carrying. Good improvement would be if the attaching bolt were more low profile to make the tool slimmer. I have a few Neiko items now. Good design and decent quality without the boutique price tag.

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
Style: 4-in-1 Electrician's PliersVerified Purchase
I work at a Dealership local to me, where I do a large majority of all the electrical work. These pliers are really great. The tip of the pliers have sideways serrations, making them great for removing fuses in tight spots. The wire strippers work excellent for most automotive purposes. If you have extremely small gauge wires then you have to turn the pliers sideways slightly to get it to strip better, but certainly works well. My only two real gripes is that when crimping wires together, the pliers sort of dig into your hand. It's not too bad, but if you're having to do a major wiring job and splice a bunch of stuff together, then they can start to become uncomfortable while splicing stuff together.
Also, another small thing, but the wire cutters are inside the pliers on the bottom side of the pivot. They cut great, but it is a bit awkward. Again, especially if you're using them to cut several wires, like replacing a connector pigtail.
Other than that, they are a great all-round and do it all electeical pliers. If you're comparing them side, I think the OTC ones are better objectively speaking, but they are also $45 dollars. For that, I think you'd be better off saving your cash and buying these. Definitely recommended for someone to throw into an emergency tool bag in the trunk of their car. They get used all the time in my shop

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012
Style: 3-in-1 Auto Wire Strippers, RedVerified Purchase
Before getting this tool, I have been stripping wires with a utility knife. It usually works, though sometimes it cuts too deep and cuts through inner wires of multi-wire cables like CAT5, or stranded wire and some strands get cut off. It's time consuming to strip wire this way.

I finally broke down and got one of these. Wow! It makes stripping wires fast, easy, accurate, and repeatable. I tried it on solid and stranded wire from #14 house wire to the stranded wires inside CAT5 - all fast and flawless. An adjustable strip gauge is perfect for when having a repeatable strip for a critical length. The crimper and cutter are just more gravy.

Basically, it seems to do everything it's supposed to do, and does it well. So what about the things it does NOT supposed to do? I tried it on the PVC casing of 3-wire #14 house wire. It doesn't fit into the jaws, so obviously that does not work. But it does strip the wires inside. I tried some very thin stranded hookup wire with a tough, slippery outside, and it could not get a purchase on that. These are the only things I have found so far that it could not do, and after all, it is not advertised to do these things.

I tried it with the casing of CAT5. Flawless, and no damage to the wires inside; strips the stranded wire inside just fine too. Old 4-wire telephone cable: perfect, and it can strip the small gauge solid wire inside. I tried a thin shielded cable (just a bit more than an eighth of an inch thick) and it was able to take off the outside jacket.

That speaker wire with the clear casing? Works as expected, but it can also strip both conductors at once (suggest that you split them first, which is easier than after stripping). It can strip both conductors at once for medium-gauge AC appliance wire.

I'll update this report with results of trying CATV cable, other large-gauge shielded cable, and anything else I can find around.

I'm very happy with this purchase, and only wish I had bought one years ago.

For most purposes this has become my go-to tool for wire stripping. I've used it on gauges from large to tiny and it has worked as advertised more often than it hasn't. It does fail on certain wire and insulation types (generally, wires with stretchy insulation) but the more i use it the more i recognize what type of wires i shouldn't bother trying. When it works it is a joy and when it doesn't, well, it's not really any more frustrating than accidentally cutting off the 3/4" that i meant to strip. I mean it's only fair when critiquing this tool that i remember how often i screw up with traditional methods.

It does its job just as shown in the illustration, i.e., by pulling the insulation apart. So one of its more gratifying uses is for splicing into a circuit without breaking the conductor, e.g. as you might want to do for testing purposes, or hooking up auto accessories or trailer wiring. It works better than i expected in tight quarters, because all that needs done is to get the head of it around the wire and then squeeze. That's way better than pulling at the wire and banging my hand on the nearest sharp pointy thing.

All that said, i can relate to the criticisms in the more unhappy reviews. There's a lot going on here for a simple job; the wire needs gripped just so, the pinchers need to meet just so, and it has to do apply pressure just so for the size and material. It all has to happen precisely and in precise sequence or it doesn't happen right, and i can see how it easily wouldn't. I don't trust it to keep working as well as it has been.

Bottom line is, i bought this tool because it is different and because stripping wire is one of my least favorite activities so i thought i'd try something new. I had the $17 to play with, i only expected $17 worth of durability and reliability, and i am not attached to the outcome if it should end up in the trash. I'd only endorse this tool for those of similar circumstances and disposition.

I got these for my husband to do wiring of his truck heater. There are 14 wires so hard for his other pair to fit in. These were awesome on the tight spaces between the wires and put a great crimp on them.
