This was my 1st wire stripper bought for home use. What i can say is this: it works, especially it woks well on thicker gauge (16awg to 8awg) wire. Bottom line is this: 1. if you do not need to be very accurate with stripping, b/c you doing general house work, tool like this is enough. 2. If you are doing wiring which requires more accuracy and you are using thinner or stranded wire, (30awg to 18awg) get yourself a calibrated cutting stripper. 3. For extremely accurate stripping, and very thin wires (thinner than 26 awg), you will need a thermal stripper.
It's not good for stripping two or three core double insulated flat or round cables used in various appliances like table fan, heaters, microwaves, Air-conditioners etc but only those Romex cables. It's only good for stripping single individual wires and that too we need to adjust the pressure knob sometimes trial and error else it damages some strands. I have personally used it made by another manufacturer and found it semi-automatic and not fully automatic and it should have been precalibrated so that the user need not do any adjustments while working!
@@amitghosh6966 AGREED .....No demonstration with small gauge ...18, 20, 22, ....which this stripper is "supposed" to be able to do (see this noted on the handle) ......but it does a TERRIBLE JOB ON SMALL GAUGE!! .
Thanks for the video. I have the same tool just under a different name. It did not come with any instructions, just specs. I appreciate the work you put into this.
While stripping the thinner double insulation two core cables it removes all insulation outside and inside. I think it's good for Romex type cables only not any other cables
A lot of different companies make these same wire strippers, I actually have a set of Irwin ones that I got from Lowe's and they work great, they are some of the best wire strippers I've ever had!
Only good for larger gauge wire. No demonstration with small gauge ...18, 20, 22, ....which this stripper is "supposed" to be able to do (see this noted on the handle) ......but it does a TERRIBLE JOB ON SMALL GAUGE!! .
I have the kincrome version of this tool. It's the best tool i own; It can strip the just outer insulation of ethernet cables and the individual ethernet wires without adjustment.
Great for multi wire cable, but I don't like when doing individual wire, it damages the insulation too much for me....and sometimes strips from grip side instead of 'cutter' side...
I still own a pair, but after 2 years of heavy trade use ,stripping wires from 1.5 mm to 4 mm, its now pretty clapped out. I don't use anymore, because the jolt the tool gives when the insulation breaks free from the conductor, causes RSI in my wrist. Other than that they lasted longer then i thought.
Just bought a simlar set off amazon but the gripper part won`t grip the cable youcan actually move it back to where it was when fully squeezed any help would be appeciated.
I guarantee you that you will take longer to order and buy, than abandon them in your toolbox, I seen many similar tools since 1986, and those who have bought this end up using regular strippers, I already forget how many years I have been using the same tool 82543 "craftsman", for sure more than 20 years ago, are lifetime warranty and I replace several times
do not go above 1.5mm i promise you it will damage the insulation around the building wire of any twin and earth tps above that size. For individual conductors you can strip up to 6mm, but be very careful that it does not damage the insulation.
It would be nice to see the adjustment demonstrated.

A demo of the brass adjusting wheel situated near cutting jaws would've been good. I've twiddled it on mine and I'm unclear it's doing anything.
Exact reason I came here lol, guess I can leave again

Do you happen to know what the plus minus circle does? What’s it’s purpose? Thanks
I have the Irwin VIse-Grip version of these automatic wire strippers and they are amazing!
Thank you for not messing about. Short, to the point, concise! 👍🏼
Only good for larger gauge wire.

on offer in the UK for £7.99 as a Parkside Tool with this week. with a box of mixed connectors / Fabulous quality and a 3 year warranty..
Best stripper design ever!!!

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
I wish I had seen this video before. This is an awesome tool. Thank you very much!
यह मशीन चहीये मैं भी एक चाहते है और कुछ नहीं तो कम से कम नः बता दो
Great video! Could you possibly make a video on how to use the various crimping methods with this tool?
Bryan S . I want the same wire stripper . Plz give me number
how much this.
how much this
Bryan S 7 hi
INR 2000 in India
It would have been nice if you showed how to use the nut adjustment
Really useful short guide.
Crescent has allways made good tools
Excellent for electricians. but is huge for electronics work.
Thank You For This Tutorial I Hope I Will Pass My Test Later
It does damage the insulation in bigger cable sizes.
Thanks for this video. It was just what I needed since I am an amateur do-it-yourself person. Good info.
Hi Austin Pet Detective,
You can get this from Sparky Direct - the link is in the description of the video if you live in Australia
nice video but wish you could have shown the crimping feature, I'm having trouble deciphering which size is which for the slots
Perfect 3 AM video
What is the screw thing on the left head? I see it bears on a steel plate between the jaws.
I still own a pair, but after 2 years of heavy trade use ,stripping wires from 1.5 mm to 4 mm, its now pretty clapped out. I don't use anymore, because the jolt the tool gives when the insulation breaks free from the conductor, causes RSI in my wrist. Other than that they lasted longer then i thought.
Hello, can you give me information about this machine? I'm from Morocco thank you
God video electric wire cutting
What does the knurled adjustment screw do?
Great instructions, but what does the little screw do at the bottom part of the left jaw?
With that screw you can adjust the press force before the tool releases and starts to pull down the insulation.
I am looking for a job in the field of electricity with good experience in this field since my young age and I work in it and I love it very much
Quite young myself. I seek to be an electrical engineer.
@@dotmatrixmoe We talk in private
Can you explain what is this little knob it has on top? It turns left or right.
Just bought a simlar set off amazon but the gripper part won`t grip the cable youcan actually move it back to where it was when fully squeezed any help would be appeciated.
I saw this video today and I bought one for myself
turn the tool around and marks will be on the cut side
im not a lowly sparky i have 2 cert IVs above that grade
How is it cuttin threw all of the
Insulation,.. don’t see anything touching it up top
Wow such a handy and easy tool.
I wish that we had t/e cable like that instead of having to put sleeving over the bare earth wire.
What does the metal screw on the left gripper do?
thank you bro it's so easy 👍👍
Namskar bhai ye pelash kaha pe melaga or ketna ka hai
i have those and theyve worked for ever and would rate them ∞ stars out of 5
Hola y como se llaman estás pinzas y dónde las venden gracias ?
What's the little metal knob do ?
Just bought mine mine doesn't work nowhere near as that my one is hit and miss think I will take it back and exchange it for another
I tested a cheap one a couple of weeks ago and it just slipped all the time. This seems to have the same problem and over time it will worsen.
If you look on aliexpress and ebay, you'll notice this crescent brand is just a chinese knock-off, the jaws aren't that sharp right from that start.
Definitely need one of these
What's the brass looking adjustment knob for?
Oh man wish I bought these instead of the pliers type one.
i whold totally buy one that can cut a 8 gauge whier awg
I want to strip all the insulation off wires for metal recycling. What should I use?
I need one of those where can i get that wire stripper
Very satisfying.
Legal muitíssimo pratico, ganha tempo pra manutenção.
I got exactly the same I bought yesterday I just used it twice and the black plastic broken and I'm trying to cut it without the plastic it won't cut
which means the points are red yellow blue?
Great video. What is that screw knob Infront of cutter
Looks like a great tool
nice tool i shiuld buy this

How much for this let me know the price

Live power using?

Thanks for the info, I'll buy myself. Tell me please, what the camera to shoot video? Thank you.

How do you use the crimper?
How much does this marvellous tool costs?
Guess I need to move to Australia!

Crimping plier for cable end sleeves ?
Please show swg insulator

Please I need one in Ghana...
I need.. one where to buy?
thanks for the info but what Video Camera were using
Kodak Zi8 Camera
What maximum outer sheath diameter (round type- 3 core) can get in/be stripped with this auto wire stripper?
do not go above 1.5mm i promise you it will damage the insulation around the building wire of any twin and earth tps above that size.
For individual conductors you can strip up to 6mm, but be very careful that it does not damage the insulation.
Does this work just as well on smaller cables? i wanted to get one of those for hobby electronics
Not really, anything smaller then 1mm, it tends to break off strands
+MrDuderivers worsk perfectly well on 0,75mm2
It works really well for smaller cables. I have one for the same reason
Use your nails
it is very useful indeed.
Along with some othe strippers it looks almost identical to the CK model
Where get this tool
This is product which company?
Great video
They have these at walmart with less plastic for 6.99.
I have one of these - they suck. Most of the time the thing just stretches the insulation without stripping it. Better of with normal wire strippers.
Muy buena, buena marca, en México la puedo comprar???
Is left-handed version available?
Cheers from Indonesia
Tidak berlaku untuk kabel yang bening itu. Ketika ditarik serabutnya ikut mencolot
are these imperial cables ? 3,029 etc
i have Crimping Tool $5 and im sick off cuting wire with this, i will get this one on Ebay for $13
