K12035 Wire Stripper, 8-20 AWG, 8.41 In.

The Klein Tools K12035 Klein-Kurve is a heavy-duty wire stripper designed for electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable tool for stripping and cutting electrical wire. This stripper combines strength with precision, handling solid and stranded copper wire as well as larger nonmetallic cables (type NM, such as Romex®) with minimal force required.

Whether you're rewiring a circuit, installing new lighting fixtures, or working on general electrical projects, this wire stripper reduces hand fatigue and delivers consistent results. Its compact 8.41-inch length makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while its thoughtful design supports both professional and occasional use.

Features and Benefits

• Shear-Cutting Knives: Heavy-duty shear-cutting blades require less force to cut through copper wire and larger cables, reducing strain on your hands during extended use.
• Six Stripping Holes: Dedicated holes strip solid wire from 8 to 18 AWG and stranded wire from 10 to 20 AWG, providing versatility for different wire gauges and types.
• Comfort Grip Handle: Cushion-grip handles reduce fatigue and provide a secure, comfortable hold during repetitive stripping tasks.
• Hold-Open Spring: Integrated spring design allows hands-free positioning, making it easier to manage wire while you work.
• Screw Shearing Holes: Built-in holes handle 6-32 and 8-32 screws, adding extra functionality beyond stripping and cutting wire.
