Review: Biggest Benefit - Simplifies Cutting and Stripping of Romex Jacket - PROS: Klein is considered a trusted maker of high quality electrical tools and is one of the top brands used by professionals. This one tool takes the place of a knife, a wire stripper, wire cutters, and needle nose pliers (for bending wire). It's small enough to carry in your pocket. It's faster than using multiple tools to prepare Romex, once you get the hang of it. It's safer than using a knife to slice the Romex PVC jacket down the middle. The length of the tool is designed to match the length of jacket you'll want to strip for the wires to go into a typical junction box. Cons: The tool works best with 14-gauge Romex. I tried it on 12-gauge and had a hard time getting the conductors stripped without them being nicked by the stripping blades. It's sometimes difficult for the tool to cut the Romex jacket and paper wrapping once it's been separated from the conductors. I'll need to practice that more. I'm not an electrician, but a homeowner who occasionally does projects involving 120 VAC wiring. I wish I had discovered this tool 20 years ago (if it existed). In the past I've always used an X-Acto knife to slice the Romex jacket down the middle where the ground wire is, so that I wouldn't damage the hot and neutral conductors. It always seemed a bit dangerous and I worried about the knife slipping. This tool slices the jacket properly and fairly easily, once it's correctly positioned on the end of the Romex. It's a great and inexpensive tool for occasional use, but I have to wonder how long the cutting surfaces will last if used by a professional. Overall, I'm happy I found it.
Review: One Tool, Zero Hassle: This Klein 5-in-1 Cable Ripper Ended My Multi-Plier Pocket Nightmare - For years—literally decades—of doing wiring projects, I've carried around a ridiculous assortment of tools just to get started: needle-nose pliers, lineman's pliers, a razor knife for slitting jackets, dedicated wire strippers, and whatever else I needed for looping wires onto outlets or switches. Half the time I'd nick the conductor while cutting the outer insulation, bend the loop crooked (making it hard to fit under a screw), forget one of the tools back in basement, or—worst of all—drop something off the ladder while juggling everything. And don't get me started on how heavy and uncomfortable that pocket full of metal felt, constantly pulling my pants down. Enter the Klein Tools L1412 5-in-1 Cable Stripping Tool (for 12-14 AWG, NM Cable Ripper for 12/2 and 14/2 Romex, with magnetic back and wire looping hole), and it's like someone finally designed a tool that actually understands real-world electrical work. This compact, lightweight gem does everything in one small form factor: - Effortlessly splits and removes the outer jacket on 12/2 or 14/2 Romex without risking damage to the inner wires (no more accidental nicks from a razor knife). - Strips the individual 12 or 14 AWG solid conductors cleanly and precisely. - Has a built-in wire looping hole that gives you a perfect, consistent bend every time for hooking onto switches, outlets, or devices—no more crooked loops or fighting with pliers. - Bonus features like twisting winged wire nuts and a magnet for sticking to your ladder or toolbox keep it handy. It's bright orange so I never lose it, and it's so slim it slips into my pocket without weighing me down or feeling bulky. No more tool overload, no more mid-job frustration, no more wasted time searching for the "right" plier. If you're a DIYer, or anyone who does residential wiring, this is one of those simple-but-brilliant tools that makes you wonder why it took so long to exist. Klein nailed it—high quality, thoughtful design, and it truly simplifies the prep work. Highly recommend; it's become a permanent resident in my pocket now.
