broken link. I sell electrical supplies, and I say I hardly sell any of the romex strippers. Seems they like to do em individually.

I've seen them in the store, but have never considered buying one. I do use strippers for the individual wires, if I have one handier than my knife (which is about never).

What are you trying to strip, and how often?

its made specifically for romex. i dont do it that often, thats why im not sure i want to pay out the money, but at the same time it would make the wire a whole lot cleaner.

I use mine every day. They work great. In a single gang box you have to strip before you put the wire in, but in 2 gang or bigger you can do it inside the box. great in panels too. Make sure to get the one that does both 12-2, and 14-2. I talked to a Klein rep. at my supply hose awhile ago and he said they were going to release a pair with a offset tip so you could get into tighter areas.

Practical

'Even if you're only doing weekend projects.
'Will pay for itself in "Anti-Frustration Factor" with just one project.

(When I first saw your post I thought maybe Klein had come out with an Automatic Wire Stripper for Romex.Now that would be some Hot S**T.)

I've never seen one for anything larger than #12. I do have a pair that will strip individual wires from #14 thru # 6- made by Greenlee though. Another useful tool in the panel.
