with klien your gonna pay for them i think those strippers are like 16 dollars and the crimpers were around 30 but they will last forver and dont get dull fast.

Thanks everyone, I'll take a look at all these tonight when I get home.

I want a set that's easy to use, and lasts too. I would like to find a good one that both strips and crimps, but not sure how good these are.

Klein. I'm in the same situation Bill is in, I'm an electrician, so any strippers/crimpers I use will have to be used at least 8 hours a day.

i hate to admit it but in the toolbox at work is everything you guys just listed...................except for ryans dream cable slitter.....i just use an olfa knife, but we have like 4 pair of klein stripper/crimper's a couple of the cheapies with the non insul crimper on the end (those suck id just as soon chew it closed) some of the sideways strippers and some of the front squeeze strippers, i always call them texas strippers cause thats the brand i see at some of the events over in cinti. for sale........and of course the real nice set that ryan linked from parts express..............unfortunately electrical tools are like women, some strip better than others you can be shocked by either one and when you wear them out its time for a new one...............

That's just like mine. It works pretty good & fast.
I have the same ones, but they are yellow and blue. I love them, slide any size wire you want in, and squeze. No adjustment, or looking for the right size hole. Just slide in and go even with 8 guage

No for everything else I use Kliens. I started that when I worked construction, and it carried over into my installs.

Now that I think about it I have better strippers, and plyers at home than I do at work.

4 guage and up, I use a razor blade

I actually prefer the cheap strippers with only one hole to strip on. I don't like the ones with 5+ holes for different size wires. Stripping bigger wire, then don't squeeze as hard :)
