Description

One-Squeeze Precision: The Ultimate Compound Action Wire Stripper and Cutter

Maximize efficiency on the jobsite with the Klein Tools 11063W Katapult® Wire Stripper and Cutter. Designed for professional electricians who demand speed and accuracy, this tool utilizes a compound action mechanism to grip and strip wire in a single, fluid squeezing motion. By isolating the stripping action, it removes insulation cleanly without damaging the conductor, making it perfect for high-volume wiring tasks where fatigue and precision are critical concerns. The built-in wire cutter adds to its versatility, allowing you to prep cables without switching tools.

Durability meets precision in the 11063W’s construction. Built on a cast alloy chassis with a heavy-duty Ecoat finish, this tool is engineered to resist corrosion and withstand the rigors of daily field use. It features precision-machined stripping holes that accommodate a wide range of wire sizes, easily handling 8-20 AWG solid and 10-22 AWG stranded wire. The tension-loaded wire grip gently holds the cable to retain its geometry, while the recoil spring design ensures the tool returns to the open position quickly, ready for the next cut or strip.

Key Features

  • Compound Action Technology: Innovative design grips and strips wire via a single-action squeezing motion for rapid workflow.
  • Wide Wire Capacity: Precision machined holes effectively strip 8-20 AWG solid and 10-22 AWG stranded wire.
  • Damage-Free Stripping: Removes insulation cleanly without nicking, cutting, or fraying the wire conductor.
  • One-Step Jacket Removal: Capable of removing up to 1 inch of insulation layer in a single efficient step.
  • Tension Loaded Grip: Gently holds the cable securely while retaining cable geometry during the stripping process.
  • Rugged Construction: Features a cast alloy chassis with a heavy-duty Ecoat finish for superior corrosion resistance.
  • Built-In Cutter: Conveniently cuts wire communication and power wires, reducing the need for multiple tools.

Pro-Tip: The "Katapult" mechanism does the work for you. Do not pull on the wire while squeezing the handles; simply insert the wire to the desired length, squeeze the handle fully, and let the tool separate the insulation. Pulling on the wire simultaneously can cause the grip to slip or the wire to fray.
