13 72 8 KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper - Product Video

The 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is the latest innovative product from KNIPEX Tools. Designed specifically for the US market, the new tool strips 10 to 20 AWG wire, both solid and stranded. The most exciting innovation of this tool is the non-threading screw cutting feature. Simply push the screw in and cut. It can also cut screws from the front or the back. This durable tool is forged from high-grade special tool steel.

I've had mine for about couple months now and as a service electrician, these are the best wire strippers I've ever owned. Not just the fact they're really good at stripping, but the durability. I use them to ream conduit, bang out knockouts, outdoors stripping wire and old muddy dirty christy boxes, out in the rain, they do not fall apart. Hell I have accidently shorted out a wire i was stripping and it even survived that. pretty much what i'm saying is that you can beat these up and they'll keep going. I Think the spring being internal in a genius idea, keeps it from getting messed up.

As a mechanic, knipex are by far and away the best pliers, cutters, strippers that I have ever owned. Seriously I love them. Every mechanic, trades man or dyi guy needs a few pair.

[BMHutchings]

Darn you KNIPEX! Didn’t think I needed a new set of pliers until I saw these.

I bought a pair. By far the best stripper I have ever bought. Beats all the other big brands I own. The last pair was Milwaukee which I still really like but they don't even come close to the Knipes stripers.

The same tool to strip and twist the wires - marvelous idea. I have not seen these around town yet. At $100 each I am not surprised.

[surisuri]

I literally refuse to leave the house without my Knipex pliers. I keep a set at home, in the car and in the workshop. There's nothing to beat them.

I’m a devoted fanboy from Canada . I recently acquired a pair of the 13 17 8 combination pliers, best engineered combination pliers I’ve ever used ! I would have preferred the Comfort grip iteration, sadly not yet available in Canada . The latch is very well thought out ( I usually drill of latches ) ! Best combo tool I’ve handled !

[sasukechidoree]

knipex strips you of your money better than anything else

[raymondtovar]

Got mine and already started using them on the job, worth every dang penny! These are a must have if your a commercial/residential guy

[journeymanedc]

These are exactly what I've been waiting for. Looks like Knipex nailed it again. I've already got a pair on the way!

[tcatrccreations]

These are most definitely excellent! However, I would like to make some suggestions. In a future updated version, I would like to see these offer the ability to strip 10 AWG strained (and keep the other stripping sizes available as they are now, and just add the 10 AWG option to it), and potentially add a universal crimper. Then, offer new version in a comport grip AND 1000V rated insulated version. For me, this would essentially be the best of almost everything.

I own a pair, the tip surface finish was rough and started to rust. I took a few minutes to polish the tip, best stripper money can buy.

Now my fave ., and 90 % of the time my default “ Lineman’s “ pliers ! Would like to see a VDE 1KV version !

[chrisfyfe]

A true Game changer, put my strippers and Lineman’s out of work . Brilliant design ! I live them almost as much as I love your “ Pliers for Electrical Installation ! I hope you come up with a VDE version soon !

[scrambler]

Welp, now I gotta buy THESE. ^

Just picked up the 87-00-100's, need to do a review/comparison video on them.

[chrisfyfe]

Finally a latch I actually like ( I usually drill off other latching systems ! ) .

[wax-ecstatic]

Knipex. Please. I am begging you. Please release a version of these for low voltage. 18-20-22-24 awg. That's it. That's what we need.

[englishguy]

I’m selling some of my Klein hand tools right now to purchase these pliers, Knipex are the best quality pliers. Followed by snap on and Klein tools.

[keithdouble]

My first day with these, they are awesome. I really hope I like them in a month.
