Cable Stripper No. 4-16 | Multi Stripping Knife | adjustable cutting depth | for all common round cables | Working range 4-16 mm Ø

A useful tool (relative to its price) for 4-gauge and 2-gauge battery cables. Note that the blade is *free-spinning*. It appears to spin as you adjust it up and down, but that is just friction - you can orient the blade with the tip of the wire you are about to trim. Which brings me to a trick to using it - it's best to aim the triangular cross section of the blade at the open end of the spring-loaded clamp, because in heavy insulation it doesn't self-align itself easily. Then, spin the handle such that the open end of the clamp is *trailing* the rotation. Spin the handle 5-10 rotations to make a clean cut through thick insulation, which can take noticeable force. If you align the blade correctly the blade's sharp cutting edge will slice nicely through the insulation (you can look through the gap at the open end of the clamp to see the cut), otherwise it will 'balk' at cutting. I did not find that pulling it off the end of the cut insulation worked well to slice it open, and I think it might be hard on the blade as it needs to turn 90° to do so. Instead, I just opened the clamp and removed the tool, then used the 'teeth' of a common multi-hole stripper to bite into the cut piece and wiggle it slowly off the cable. Once the cut piece is 1/4" removed, reposition the multi-hole stripper to the very end of the insulation to be removed and pull - it will come off easily. I've trimmed about 50 short pieces of insulation off of battery cables for a solar battery and it saves a lot of time and does a neat job. Getting a perfect depth adjustment on the blade is trial and error, so if you have a couple of different insulation-thickness cable types, consider buying two of these tools and label which cable they are set to trim. The Weicon stripper isn't a perfect tool but for the price it does what it need to do. I'm not sure how long the cutting blade will last and I don't believe it is replaceable. There are no instructions in the box and no warranty is mentioned on the box.

I was surprised how well it worked on Marine cable and low smoke cable. Had a greenlee one and this one works better in my opinion, just bought a second one for my other tool bag. Going to definitely buy more when these get dull and need replacement

I've just just used this a few times, but it works well. I question the durability based on the plastic construction, but I don't regret buying this item.

don't try to use this for any cable other than perfectly round cable!! It will not cut romex or semi-round entrance sheathing. Only round (like a wooden dowel). I was too embarrassed to return it so I'll throw it in the junk drawer. ***********UPDATE************* I completely didn't understand how to use this tool. I watched another video and got educated. It is a wonderful tool for stripping romex sheathing, both length and making circular cuts. I knew I had to update my review and make it right.

Be careful, your fingers can slide into the cutting channel. Definitely has a slight learning curve. Bigger than it looks. Fits on the hands very well. I think the quality and price ratio is better than the KNIPEX Brand. The blade is sharp, not sure if it's replaceable. Overall, works well. Fits in my tool pouch.

This just didn’t work great. It works, but not great. I’m going to have to upgrade to the more expensive one. I don’t know what it wrong with it to be honest, but it’s really harder to use than expected. Maybe I have the wrong expectations, but I’ll share my experience nonetheless. It is adjustable, but still didn’t help in some of the strips.

Works on round cable but overall I found it very difficult to use.

Every bad review explains that they are using it wrong or on the wrong cable. This works great on multi conductor cables. I am kicking myself for not buying sooner, every knicked inner wire could have been avoided. I do a test cut on the end to confirm, then do my cut, so fast and easy.

Heel moeilijk in te regelen, eenmaal juist, gaat het bij de minste tegendruk weer dwars staan. Echt weggegooid geld, begrijp niet dat dit zo hoog scoort...

Muy buen producto, solo ocupo Saber si venden los repuestos..

just what we needed

Use it for work. Works great. Strip a lot of sensor wires. Very easy with this. Also striped soj easily and Teck.

puede ser un buen producto para uso domestico, pero en obra no duró nada.
