great overall but not for live wire work. long metal jaw still grounds out with protected grips.
best electrical pliers I ever used. Just make sure you understand even though your hands are protected with the grps if you work with live wires 1/2 of those plier are bare metal. That mean if any part touches a grounded metal box trying to twist wires. In my case aluminum to copper pigtails with alumicoms they will do damage. Best case make sure you can shut off power, worst case be aware of how long the metal part really is as I found out late one night working live and just touched the edge of a decorative switch in a double I just had grounded. This was my last twist and I ark welded the small metal edge around the plastic on that switch even with electrical tape protecting the connections. The handles are great but if they are making live wire pliers perhaps try not to make them do too many jobs. make just linemen twisting live wire only as seperate tool.

Required indulgence tool
Heavy duty perfectly made in Germany tool that does the job. Even works on that pesky coated conduit wire. Pay the money and keep it in sight cuz it is capable of walking off…Even though I am just a handy guy working on my house, I now feel I could wire up a nuclear reactor with this thing. Or just play with it.

Well designed and built wire strippers by Knipex do a very fine job at stripping
Knipex wire strippers are made with very high quality. These are very sharp and do remove insulation quite easily. They feel very rugged and well-built in the hand. I'm not a professional electrical just a weekend DIY warrior, maybe installing some light switches and other simple stuff. I know the pros use these, and they last a long time. For me, they will probably last a lifetime.I have not tried the screw cutting, but all the reviews I read say it works, and no need to thread the screws in like other strippers. These are so sharp and precise that they will cut your electrical screws clean! I've watched many YouTube videos demonstrating this. Looking forward to needing a screw cut down now

Great Tool
A bit strap on the price. Now that I have them wouldn’t go back.

Quality! Buy it.
Very good quality. I was surprised, because I generally used the cheap stamped metal ones and these are night and day difference.
P**!
Handle the product with care always!
Product is awesome. But the delivery wasn't good. Product was handled with no care. Not an Amazon driver. But an Amazon flex driver.

Professional Strippers take notice!
The media could not be loaded. Quality.Reliability.Affordability.Longevity.Make whatever acronym you want from the letters QRA and L but the result is always relevant to the Knipex Brand!These Professional Strippers will not disappoint. There is no play or slop in the movement of the two sides. Smooth and effortless is the best way I can describe the functionality of this product. Some however have remarked on a clunky aspect in the movement while using them. It's really nothing that a little 3-in-1 oil cannot remedy. Honestly any steel tool that moves will typically benefit from such preventative maintenance. The comfort grip is exactly that. It might have been a bonus to have the wire size etched in both sides but I'm nitpicking. The locking mechanism upon opening was slightly stiff but again, oil your steel tools! I'm incredibly happy to have found the Knipex Brand. Although no one company makes the best of every tool, some brands come quite close. /wink
