Review: Outstanding wire stripper...but I'm not so good with it as a crimper - I bought this tool because: 1) I was looking for a crimping tool 2) I did not have a good set of wire strippers 3) A reviewer indicated that the wire strippers were awesome 4) I thought the price was excellent. In using this tool as a crimper, I discovered that I have a tendency to "over crimp" the connectors. I don't see this as a failing of the tool...I see it as a failing of the user. I just don't have 'the touch' down yet. However, I was blown away by how well this tool strips wires. Pros 1) Great price 2) The gauge guides for wire stripping appear to be right on the money (just as another reviewer noted). When I line up the wire in the correct hole and press the handle, I get this satisfying little "pop" that I feel when a wire stripper exactly cuts the insulation but does not touch the wire underneath. The gauge is that good. 3) It works flawlessly as a wire-cutter. It makes nice clean cuts. 4) It can be used to make crimps if you have the experience and a good feel for it. Given my limitations with crimping, it will be my backup crimper. Cons 1) This is not a con of the product...but I don't make very good crimps with this tool. I blame me and not the tool. It is a solid tool, and I'm sure I could get really good at it with practice, but I wimped out and picked up a ratcheting crimper as well (in particular, I picked up S&G Tool Aid 18900 Professional Ratcheting Terminal Crimper ). I personally recommend the tool as a great wire stripper/cutter. As far as a crimper goes, your personal skill at crimping connectors will determine its usefulness. For my part, I like the stripping/cutting ability so much, along with the price point, that I intend to keep it for that purpose alone. The fact that it can serve as a back up crimping tool is a bonus.
Review: Good product. Liked it very much. - It worked great for me, and I like it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools.  The country of origin for this self adjusting wire stripper is Taiwan.

**Q: How can you tell which crimp area to use?  The color codes on the tool show 2 "ranges" of wire gauge, but it looks like there are 3 crimp areas.**
A: On the left there is a label ("INSUL AND NON-INSUL") that points the center of the two places to crimp, with the one closest to the pivot color coded for blue and yellow connectors (or 16 - 10 gauge), and the next crimp area for red connectors (or 22 - 18 gauge). The bump on the right side between the two is not meant for crimping.

**Q: does it cut guitar strings ? how about bike break cable**
A: Get a pair of piano grade wire cutters to avoid ruining your strippers, as the chaps are saying, it's good for copper and electrical cables and not suited to spring steel and bike brake cables.

**Q: Anyone uses it for jewlery making? How is it? Thanks!**
A: I've never used it for jewelry but it cuts wire very crisply and the nose has a flat crimper that would close small metal parts easily.
