The product is sturdy, well built and fits my hand nicely. I've heard others say the pivot was loose and sloppy but this one works fine and has no play whatsoever. I grew up using a Buck knife with a hook blade for Romex but this tool does it all for me. It's an excellent multi-use tool in my opinion and saves me a bit of space and weight all day. Be nice if Klein kept all their product manufacturing in the states instead of overseas.

The picture depicts the older version with straight handles. These are no longer available in stores. This is the one I wanted, not the curved handles, which is the only ones you can get in stores. I thought I had found just what I wanted. I was very surprised when I received the new curved handles. I would not have bought them if I had known. My rating is based on a quality product but with false advertising.

Great tool for wiring jobs involving romex 14ga and 12ga. Quickly allows stripping of the outer sheath cleanly, then strip the wires followed by bending the wire for screw attachment on switches or receptacles. Also has a wide and sharp wire cutter as well as small pliers tip for additional bending or pulling. Is spring loaded with ergonomic coated handles for comfort. It’s another great Klein made in the USA tool.

This tool cuts, strips, and sets up electrical wires for installation onto electrical fixtures. The feel is great, and the usability is fantastic. The only thing needed is a way to attach a screwdriver, and you could basically do all you need with this one tool.

This is the most useful tool for running 14/2 and 12/2 romex in a home. Cuts and strips the sheathing perfectly, first time, without flaw. Good handle feel, easy to use, and well made. Lasts very well and stays sharp unless you go way off purpose.

I own a number of Klein electrician's tools and this one is another excellent addition. It does a great job in stripping Romex(NM) cables. I've used it so far for about 3 weeks now on my home project and it is still doing it's job.

Great solution for stripping NM 14/2 and 12/2 cable jacket. Never nicks the conductor insulation. Works perfectly on modern NM... legacy NM in old buildings may also need to be slit due to old manufacturing process.

My son and I have been using this tool for several weeks during a remodeling effort and have really enjoyed the ease of stripping NM cable jackets and conductors. Well worth the price.

It works. Lightweight. I have never had any complaints with any Klein tool. I wish they made a version for 14 gauge Romex only.
