- Is this stripper rated for live electrical work?
- It has multi-layer insulated handles, which is what you want for work near energized circuits. Check the tool's voltage rating printed on it and follow your employer's safety rules; insulation is not a guarantee against every hazard.
- What wire sizes does it handle?
- It strips and cuts 12 to 20 AWG, both stranded and solid. The jaw capacity is 0.75 in.
- How is it different from Klein's non-insulated strippers?
- The main difference is the insulated handles, which add bulk and cost. The stripping and cutting functions are otherwise similar.
- Does it cut as well as it strips?
- Yes. It has a shear-type cutter for clean cuts, and owners use it as a combined stripping and cutting tool.
- Is it good for a homeowner doing occasional wiring?
- It works, but it is a professional tool with a price to match. A basic non-insulated stripper covers occasional 12-14 AWG work for less.

- Klein Tools makes it in the USA.
