ENGINEER PA-06 Wire Stripper - Precision Manual Cable Stripping Tool for Electrical Wire (AWG 30-18) - Made in Japan

My wife was going through my browsing history and wondering why I was searching for "strippers". I ordered these in a panic purely to quell any suspicion. But I'm sure glad I did! They're far superior to my usual cheap pair and work superbly on the very small wire gauges I've been using them for (e.g. 28 and 26 AWG). Very sharp and strip perfectly without accidentally removing any copper strands. They're pricey, but you get what you pay for so are worth the extra.

By far the best wire strippers that I have ever found for use on the smaller gauges of wire. A range of sizes is catered for and it is easy to choose a cutting position which will strip the insulation without damaging the conductors. Pretty good for working in tight corners of a project too. The cutting edges are ground to a fine finish, are sharp, and meet precisely. There is a useful wire cutting section near the hinge. The tool is beautifully made and has a look of quality I've not seen in similar tools. The wire ranges covered are 18 - 30 AWG (1.45 - 0.4 mm) inclusive. Not cheap, but I don't begrudge a penny of the price.

I have a number of tools already from engineer and they are very high quality, certainly up there with German tool makers. The price is ok, they're not cheap, not expensive, but rather they sit in no-mans land really, I drop a star for value purely because I think they have a toe over line. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this, or other engineer tools, everything I have from engineer has worked very well. I'm doing a lot of crimping of JST connectors, and this is involving different gauges of wire and different coatings, some have a silicone coating while others have a more rigid coating, you can see from the pictures that they strip perfectly, and the cut is easy to make and extremely clean. My only real question was why didn't I buy these earlier? I will be buying the other pairs with additional gauges so that I'm covered for all my electronics needs!

These wire cutters are comfortable to use and are very good for pvc or silicone covered wire. However I had less success with some old Teflon wire I had, leaving a sliver of insulation which needed nipping off. My new Alpha wire stripped successfully however.

As soon as you take these out of the packaging you realize that you are holding a quality piece of kit, Effortless stripping with really clean cuts every time on both solid core & multi core wire, Highly recommended

I'm so impressed with the build quality and design of this wire stripper and cutter. Everything about it is good: the feel, handles, the blade, the size of the holes, the labelling. The first wire strip today was a dream - the 2-core wire beautifully cut the casing off, no nicks on the wire, super smooth, with no dragging. A beautiful tool, well worth the money. I've spent a lot more on tools that have turned out to be rubbish. The longetivity is the only aspect I can't be sure about yet, but I'm very confident it will last.

What a really fantastic piece of kit this is. I've just taken delivery of it and had a go at stripping both thin 22AWG and 22AWG and what can I say,..absolutely effortless, beautiful clean strip every time. They are great to hold in that it's very comfortable in your hand. I may even consider buying a second pair just for backup in case I ever lose this one. It's made in Japan and let's face it, we all know that almost everything and anything that's made in Japan oodles quality and these wire strippers is the pair to get. Just look at all the top 5 Star reviews which proves how good they are. I am another adding to that top 5 Star review.

Just started doing some hobby electronics, and needing some connectors for some recycled components. After struggling with existing strippers just to do a bad job very very slowly, I searched and found these. Within 5 minutes of the strippers being delivered, I started a 13-pin ribbon cable I had given up on yesterday. Within a minute of starting, I had finished, and it was a very clean job. My old strippers just aren't designed for the thin wires you get in electronics - the smallest they can handle are 1mm and 0.75mm, and they tend to stretch the insulation rather than cutting it. With these new ones, options are 0.4, 0.5, 0.65 (the size I needed today), 0.8, 0.95, 1.15 and 1.45. I like the spring so the strippers open themselves ready for the next wire, and the lock to keep them closed in a toolbox, which I guess protects them from getting damaged by other tools. But mostly I liked that they stripped insulation off fairly thin wires quickly and easily, and without damaging the wire itself. I wasn't quite sure about giving 5 stars for value for money considering the price, but they're worth it.

The precision and quality of Engineer tools is just impeccable and they often have small innovative/thoughtful features. I've seen a few of their pliers and nippers and all were top notch, comparable in every way to the most esteemed tools from USA, Germany, and Sweden. I've used a lot of different strippers and thought I had some of the best, but wow, these are just buttery goodness like I didn't know was possible. The gauge markings on this one are for stranded, so keep that in mind. It doesn't list solid conductors on the tool and the metric markings are the actual hole diameter (not wire diameter)...the back side is unmarked. Nice light spring action, which is so much better than stronger springs, and the hinge adjustment is excellent. Mine came perfect out of the box but if you need to adjust it for preference or precision down the road, be sure to do it properly (instructions available on their website). Grips are comfortable and soft with some tack/grip, little funky design. The locking tab has play in it but doesn't move unless you tell it to, works great. This is the first stripper I've owned that had absolutely no need for removal of micro burrs or touch-ups of the cutting surfaces, very well done. The tips do not have serrations and do not line up perfectly parallel/square, which is weird, but I don't know if there is some reason for that. One of the best things about this particular model is that it covers a great range that allows you do strip finer sizes but still goes down to some sizes that are more typical in larger circuits and power supplies, plus it's compact compared to some. This will be a do-all tool for me about 95% of the time and I won't miss needing two strippers within reach. I'm not sure why Engineer tools aren't more popular than they are because they are just fantastic quality. More known for their niche screw removal pliers, I guess, and those have shifted into the "Vam-plier" marketing name lately. I'd put these and the Engineer nippers on par with anything I've seen from Knipex, Wiha, Wera, Wiss/Cooper Group, etc. and they're absolutely a step or two above Xuron, GB, Klein, Greenlee, etc...way better than the normal CHP/Hakko stuff. Worth a slot on your bench or box.

Acquistata nel novembre 2017 a €29.99 Non grande, molto maneggevole, precisa, perfettamente affilata. Per i fili sottili non ha rivali. Usarla è un piacere. Tra l'altro mi ricorda che oriente ed Asia non significano solo Cina, quando si cerca qualcosa su Amazon ...

Bonne pince à dénuder, précise et n'abime pas la gaine du cable (vu qu'elle n'y touche pas)

評判のとおり使いやすいく、大きさも丁度いいので持ちやすい。近くのショッにはなかったのでこちらで購入しました。

Perfekt zum abisolieren von kleinen Durchmessern. Das Ergebnis ist perfekt.
