Gardner Bender SE-92 Strip-Easy Automatic Wire Stripper, Red, Pack of 1

I am not sure how I managed without these.

I was disappointed right away. It didn't work at all until I tightened all the adjustment screws. Now it's working but definitely no where as smooth as the Klein version. I recommend throwing in 10 more dollars to get a better one.

Fonctionne bien

My friend has one . When I saw his I vowed I would have one. I got on to Amazon and voila there it was the best electrical wire stripper in the world.

These auto-strippers seem to be all the same, but they're not. I had one just like this from radioshack that I bought when I was a kid and used for nearly 20 years before it finally wore out. This was supposed to replace that, but I was disappointed to see the "dies" (the two sliding cutting teeth) were very poorly ground, resulting in undersized holes that will nick solid and break strands. For a professional, this is unacceptable I ended up returning this and getting the blue handled Klein. I was able to look at all three (my original one from 20years ago), the GB, and the Klein at the same time to compare the cutting dies. The original RadioShack one was pretty good, this GB was absolutely identical to the original except for the poorly sized dies (so I could have swapped in my original dies if I really wanted to). However, the Klein that I ended up keeping has an even better grip and super precise dies that cut without nicking. I have several other Gardner Bender tools and they are usually fine, and this may have been just one of a few from a bad lot, so I'm giving it two stars and recommending the Klein strippers instead. I hope they can get this very singular quality control issue fixed. GB is otherwise a fine company.
