Review: without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind - The KNIPEX 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is, without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind I have ever used. It perfectly blends the brute strength of a craftsman's plier with the delicate precision of a surgeon's scalpel. The forged construction provides a sense of indestructible quality, yet the compound leverage mechanism makes stripping even tough wires feel incredibly smooth and effortless. The precision-ground stripping holes are impeccably sized and cleanly cut through insulation without a single nick to the copper conductor. The integrated cutters are razor-sharp, and the ability to crimp terminals adds to its remarkable versatility. This single 8-inch tool has effectively replaced two or three others in my bag. For any electrician, technician, or serious DIYer, this is not just an expense; it's a long-term investment in flawless performance. The ergonomics, balance, and sheer quality justify its price many times over. Once you use it, every other wire stripper feels inadequate. An absolute five-star masterpiece. Review: Wow! I like this baby! - These are pricey, but they come highly recommended from folks I trust. German-made to exacting standards, this item contains a number of functions in one. I usually buy Klein as I do a lot of electrical work, but on the recommendation of others, thought I’d try this one. I’m not saying it’s better than Klein, but it sure gives the K-boys a run for their money. No regrets here, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed either. ## Features - Screw cutting cuts 6-32 and 8-32 without threading and cut be cut from either the front or the back! - Locating ridges - easy to locate stripping holes by using one of the locating ridges - Strips both solid and stranded wire from 10 to 20 AWG - Shear cutting blades offer 50% higher cutting capacity than competition and 25% cutting power reduction - Cuts cable, wires, NM-B, BX and MC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08L8D54FB | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,799 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #7 in Wire Strippers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Brand Name | KNIPEX | | Color | Atramentised / Lacquered / Burnished, Plastic Coated | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,752 Reviews | | Cutting width | 8 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843221023911 | | Grip Type | Multi-component | | Handle Material | Multi-component material | | Included Components | Knipex - 13 72 8 | | Item Type Name | Knipex - 13 72 8 | | Item Weight | 9.76 ounces | | Manufacturer | KNIPEX | | Manufacturer Part Number | 13 72 8 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty does not cover abuse | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 13 72 200 ME | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Fleet and plant maintenance. | | UPC | 843221023911 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Color:** Atramentised / Lacquered / Burnished, Plastic Coated - **Handle Material:** Multi-component material - **Item Weight:** 9.76 ounces - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Tools 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper, 8-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UdpMcM3nL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Made in?** A: Germany **Q: Can they strip Romex** A: If the question is whether there is a feature to strip the outer jacket of Romex, the answer is no. I have this tool on order (Knipex 13 72 8), but I don’t see anything that leads me to believe it can strip the outer jacket, so if you want that functionality, you will need to use a different tool. Personally, I don’t mind that, and will supplement it with a tool that can strip the outer jacket as needed. Nevertheless, from everything I have seen and read, it appears to be an excellent, forged tool with a very useful set of features. **Q: How is thread damage prevented if the screw cutters aren't threaded? Anyone have experience cutting lots of screw with it?** A: You cut the screws at an angle. This keeps this from getting burred up. **Q: Are these spring loaded?** A: Yes, the product features an internal spring. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind *by J***O on October 17, 2025* The KNIPEX 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is, without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind I have ever used.
