The Wire Stripper is a well-made, compact, and sturdy tool that is highly portable. Crafted from high-quality alloy, it’s built to last and performs well in a variety of tasks. Its ability to automatically strip 8-18 AWG solid and stranded wires, along with an adjustable stripping length and a heavy-duty alloy cutter head, makes it a reliable tool for precision work in electronics and automotive repairs. I particularly like the ergonomic design of the rubber handle, which provides a comfortable and secure grip, making it easy to apply force without hand fatigue, even after extended use. This makes it ideal for working in tighter spaces. Recently, I used it to rewire my car’s audio system, and the tool proved to be highly efficient and practical. One of its best features is the precision stripping. it removes the wire insulation without cutting too much or too little, ensuring the core remains intact, which is crucial for maintaining proper electrical connections. Whether using solid or stranded wire, the results are consistently clean. The tool is very easy to operate，just insert the wire, squeeze the handle lightly, and the insulation comes off effortlessly. Additionally, the adjustable stripping length allows you to customize according to your specific needs, adding to its convenience. This tool offers excellent value for money. Whether for household electrical repairs or automotive wiring, it handles tasks with ease.

Bought it for 8 AWG stranded and it takes away a huge chunk of wire. Listing description needs to be updated! 8 AWG solid core only!

Review of the Kerry Wire Stripper: A Mixed Bag for Your Stripping Needs The Kerry Wire Stripper presents itself as a handy tool for anyone looking to tackle electrical work, whether it's for precision electronics or automotive repairs. With its automatic stripping capabilities suitable for 8-18 AWG solid and stranded wires, I was eager to put this device through its paces. Starting with the positives, I found that the wire stripper performs admirably with smaller gauge wires, particularly those in the 10 AWG range and below. The automatic stripping mechanism is intuitive, allowing for a clean and efficient strip without much hassle. The heavy-duty alloy cutter head adds a level of durability that instills confidence during use, making it a solid choice for light to medium-duty tasks. However, the performance begins to wane when you step up to larger gauge wires, specifically the 8 AWG. I encountered some issues where the tool tends to "chomp" a bit too deeply into the wire, which can lead to potential insulation damage or compromised wires if not handled carefully. This inconsistency raises concerns about reliability at the upper limits of its rated capacity. It’s worth mentioning that I have yet to experiment with the adjustable settings to possibly remedy the deeper cuts on larger wires. There may be a solution that lies in proper calibration, and I plan to explore that in my future uses. It's also possible that the particular brand or quality of the 8 AWG wire I tested could be a factor, as wire quality can greatly vary. In conclusion, the Kerry Wire Stripper is a solid tool for those who frequently work with smaller wires, delivering reliability and ease of use. However, users should approach the stripping of larger wires with caution and possibly invest some time in adjustment settings or testing different wire brands. Overall, it remains a worthy addition to any toolbox, just with a bit of caution required for the larger sizes.
