Snaps closed and frays stranded wire

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024

Style: CutterVerified Purchase

This is my first auto stripper and it works great. Blade is machined well and closes precisely. At first I thought the little rough edges in between the notches were a flaw - they actually line the blades up as it closes.

The grip is quite wide. Fine for me but this may be a bit cumbersome for someone with small hands to operate compared to a standard wire stripper, especially repeatedly. It’s also a bit clunky to store, although the wire cutter can be used as a mounting hole to put it on a pegboard. It might also fit upside down in oval rings for vice grips.

It works extremely well with solid copper and large gauge wire. No scoring and perfect lengths, fast. I use mine for electronics projects and audio cables, so smaller stranded wires are common. Because of the way the tool is designed, it will SNAP CLOSED and FRAY the fresh copper wires you just exposed. I took one star off for this, but it’s possible to avoid: after stripping, don’t release the grip. Pull back on the wire as you slowly release. The vice part will relax enough for the wire to slide out before it snaps shut and crushes the strands.

Conclusion:
Pros - cheap, well-made, reliable. This would be ideal for small electrical jobs at home.

Cons - works better on thicker wires. Wide storage footprint. Easy to accidentally fray stranded wires.

Cuts soft covered wires very well. Used for sport fencing body cords.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

Style: CutterVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I cut many sport fencing, body chords to repair them and they have a very soft coating. They have to be symmetric and with handheld manual cutters, I would sometimes struggle to get them perfectly the same size. I purchased an automatic cutter, which is supposed to automatically adjust for size, but it did not work for these body courts. It tended to just stretch the outer coating and wouldn’t cut through it. this tool was sharp enough To cut through the outer coating, and because I sized the wire, it would not damage the underlying wire and is very easy to cut two wires of the exact same size. It worked very well on the soft covering of the sport Fencing body cords great tool.

Strip (wires) like a pro!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013

Style: CutterVerified Purchase

It all started one time I took my usual sidekick E...n to a repair/upgrade job. As usual, he came well prepared, boasting about his new, still in a blister pack, Klein Tools 11063 Catapult Wire Stripper, similar model to the one being reviewed here but without the built in cutter.

Immediately after unpacking the tool he began to put it to the test. He stripped a few wires of various gauge without a hitch but was outwardly perplexed when he could not locate the means to cut the wire with his newly acquired gadget.

After watching E...n stripping wire after wire with his 11063 for the entire day, I decided that I should get one for myself.

A brief visit to Klein Tools website revealed that the company offers a model of the tool with a built in cutter. Naturally, that was the one I ordered.

Here are my opinions and findings about the Klein Tools 11063W after using it for about 5 weeks.
Operation and Design:
* The mechanism appears to be well thought out and designed. The fact that the unit sounds and works the same now as it did first out of the box is a testament to its sturdiness.
* Throughout each stripping cycle each moving part of the tool follows its designated path in sync with the rest of the parts. This mechanical choreography ensures a perfectly stripped wire every time. But that's not all, at the end of the cycle the tool is designed to completely separate and clear itself away from the stripped wire, thus protecting the bristles from being inadvertently bent or otherwise deformed. Needless to say that all this wizardry happens in a blink of an eye and is completely transparent to the user, all I have to do is feed the wire and squeeze.
Ergonomics:
* This tool is very easy to operate. I just have to remember to squeeze all the way each time and not try to be fancy by squeezing part way. Note: this does not apply to when I want to partially pre-strip the wire and leave the jacket on to be pulled off by hand later.
* The shape of the grips offer excellent control and effortless operation even with work gloves.
* The grips are resin clad for insulation, cushioning, and no slip.
* I have small hands (6.5") but I have no difficulties operating this unit and it feels comfortable and well balanced in my hand.

Undocumented feature:
The 11063W has two rows of semicircular notches on the jaws that line up and contract to form a continuous circular cutting edge around the wire. Each pair of notches is sized and designated for each gauge from 8 down to 22AWG. However, I have been able to strip wires finer than 22AWG without using any of the notches by simply placing the wire past the notches all the way back at the base of the jaws. The un-notched flat jaws at the base do a great job of stripping 24 and even 26AWG wires. High speed video analysis revealed that as the jaws come together the top jaw moves ever so slightly along the one on the bottom. This cross movement rolls the finer wire across the jaws and creates a circular incision in the insulation. The remainder of the strip cycle separates the insulation at the incision and removes it. Go figure...

A few words about the built in cutter.
Once I was working with 14 Awg really fine stranded wire. At one point I wanted to cut off some excess from the stripped end. So with a bit of anxiety but a healthy dose of enthusiasm I used the built in cutter. The unit cut the wire well, but the cut off end separated into many fine short strands that immediately found their way into the mechanism. The first few blank/dummy cycles felt and sounded different and surely wrong. I thought for sure I had successfully jammed my poor stripper. To my surprise but a great deal of relief, simultaneously shaking and squeezing the unit a few times completely cleared the jam. Now when I make similar cuts with 11063W I orient it so that all the debris simply falls through. Note: this only seems to apply to short ends of finely stranded wire, cutting long ends or insulated wires has been good and uneventful.

Recently I took E...n to another job. This time I was sporting the better stripper. I noticed a few glances of envy as he watched me strip and cut all day. So at the end of the day I gave him my Klein Tools 11063W Catapult Wire Stripper as gift, after all, he is a good worker and a nice guy. He had no idea I had another one ordered and already on its way to me.

Lifesaver for old wire!

Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2023

Style: CutterVerified Purchase

I was pretty on the fence about these, but I'm glad I invested in them. Rewiring an old house, they stripped 60yr old 10, 12 and 14 without damaging the copper, and pulled off insulation that I legitimately couldn't get off with my regular strippers. Worth the investment if you're not working with brand new wire all the time. I was also thrilled with the ability to get those tight, not much left in the box wires stripped with minimal effort. I tested on several chunks of new and old wire and these reliably strip without notching the copper. They may not be worth it for everyone, but I'm glad I made the investment and would recommend them for your kit.

Muy práctico y duradero (uso rudo)

Excelente pelacables, lo he usado diario por laras horas desde hace una semana que lo adquirí y sigue teniendo el mismo agarre al cortar el cable, cumple de manera impecable su función.
-Ahorro tiempo al cortar cable en un solo movimiento (usar navaja o cutter retarda demasiado)
-Viene con las medidas AWG para cortar cable o alambre (según sea el caso), al principio tardas en ubicar la ranura para el calibre que tienes, después te acostumbras y lo haces por instinto.
-Sistema lubricado para evitar la corrosión de los componentes de corte y sujeción.
-Excelentes materiales de construcción y buen diseño, personalmente me gusta el azul que eligieron.

P.D. Adquirí la pinza ponchadora de esta misma marca y al igual que este pelacables me fascinó, como dicen las reseñas anteriores: Volvería a comprarlo y vale cada centavos.

Pelacables de calidad y precio algo elevado (ahora aún más)

Lo compre porque quería un buen pelacables y que no dañe las fundas de los cables, me ha encantado, tiene también función de cortar alambre o cables, como defectos o pegas el precio algo elevado, la calidad lo compensa si lo usas mucho, y otra pega es que el corta cables/alambres se oxida muy fácil, recomiendo aceitarlo para protegerlo y tener cuidado con la herramienta. Yo la compre por 38€ aprox. ahora esta a un precio excesivamente elevado en comparación, solo lo veo aceptable si lo usas mucho o en entorno profesional o si buscas muy buena calidad, si lo usas poco quizás te merezca la pena alguno mas barato.
