Poor quality - distorts/bends too easily
First time I used the plier tips to twist off a plastic(!) knockout, the jaw joint bent slightly so the pliers no longer close fully. The stripper edges just hit each other rather than sliding by each other.

These are such a disappointment. Stopped here at the product page looking for warranty information. Looks like they don't warranty these. I had them 3 months and loved them for well they strip, and feel great in the hand. Then I needed to cut some wire, and it basically destroyed them. They are ruined from one use of cutting wire.

strippers work good but the cutter dulls to fast
strippers work great but the cutter portion dulls out to fast and won't cut wire anymore.

Don’t waste more of your life with other strippers
Work mostly residential electric, some commercial. Have tried out numerous wire strippers and these are hands down the best I’ve used. Don’t believe the negative reviews on sharpness. I’ve used the best of the usual brands and they are garbage compared to these. One thing that sets them apart from 99% of other strippers is they easily open enough to cut wires. They strip extremely well and have a great shape as needle nose pliers.I removed my spring and the locking latch and it made them even better. Haven’t had any durability issues (besides the ole post co-worker tying my circuit branch into power without telling me explosion) but they are so much faster than other strippers I’d keep replacing them before using anything else.

I’ve been using the 6 in 1 electrical pliers for five weeks now and so far I haven’t had any issues. Built very rugged and haven’t noticed any dulling on the stripper after stripping over 2,000 wires, (90% 18ga), for panel building. I have noticed mild deformation of the cutting edge shown in the red circle of the picture after cutting just a dozen or so larger 10ga wires but nothing that prevents me from using them. This is a problem that may be easily solved by not making the cutting edge too sharp and also making sure the material has the proper hardness. I’ve noticed that some larger copper wires of 12ga or 10ga solid have a greater hardness than say, 16ga or 14ga stranded.
With that said, I still have these a 4 star rating for their overall ruggedness because I’ve purchased lower cost brands and had them wear out after stripping just 1,000 wires.

These are hands down the best strippers I ve ever used (and I ve used Klein, Knipex and other combination pliers), but nothing beats these 6-in1 pliers, please NEVER stop making them! I ve been using the same pliers for 2.5 years and they re still as sharp as day 1 (both the stripping and cutting)

Tool strips wire with ease. Comfortably balanced with easy to use lock and unlock. Nice leverage when cutting wire. Tradesmen look towards Klien and Ideal now Milwaukee has joined the club. Nice job.

Best strippers I've ever had . I guess the other people leaving reviews must be cutting whole cables with the jacket still on or cutting some 10 awg or something. I've had mine for a year , and i have no complaints. The wire cutters still look new so do the grips . They're great for making loops with the hole in the hinge or by just grabbing the wire with the nose . Also like having the bolt cutter built in. I will never buy one of those flat stamped steel strippers again.

I think they are decent strippers but junk for cutting wire, only had mine for 2-3 weeks before the cutting portion began to fill full of dents, there appears to be zero edge hardening or the alloy was way to soft for a wire cutting tool. To bad I'd like to like them but they just don't do the job.

I'm a commercial electrician and I found a pair of these in a ceiling but the grips were split and loose. Used them in a pinch because I lost my other strippers. I ended up really liking them and figured the grips were messed up from abuse, misuse, weather, etc. So I bought a pair and used them almost daily for a year. Same exact thing happened. Grips split at seam and they both slide off. I went to HD and they said they couldn't exchange them w/o a receipt.
