Precision Stripping and Shearing for Tight Spaces

Upgrade your electrical toolkit with the Klein Tools 11055 Solid and Stranded Copper Wire Stripper and Cutter. Proudly made in the USA, this compact powerhouse is engineered for electricians who need versatility without the bulk. It features precision-ground stripping holes that cleanly remove insulation from 10-18 AWG solid wire and 12-20 AWG stranded wire without damaging the conductor. Beyond stripping, the shear-type cutting blades deliver sharp, clean cuts on copper wire, while the built-in shearing holes allow you to cleanly cut 6-32 and 8-32 screws to length in seconds.

Designed for all-day efficiency, the 11055 is equipped with curved handles that naturally fit the contour of your hand, allowing you to reach into confined electrical boxes and panels with ease. The strong-gripping serrated nose lets you bend, shape, and pull wire effortlessly, while the coil spring provides fast self-opening action to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Finished with Klein's signature double-dipped comfort grips and a handy closure lock for safe storage, this tool is an essential companion for residential and commercial wiring jobs.
