## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***R on 12 June 2024*

In my pursuit of excellence, I’ve recently begun the process of decluttering my toolbox, removing unused and low-quality tools, and replacing them with top-notch equipment. The KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper is a prime example of this upgrade. Its German engineering is evident in every use, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. I’ve had my fair share of experiences with various brands and models. However, the KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper 10-20 AWG stands out as the best among them. With sharp cutting edges and comfortable handles, it performs exceptionally well as both pliers and a wire stripper. It can strip and cut both solid and stranded wire between 10 and 20 AWG, making it a versatile tool for various electrical tasks. Made in Germany, this wire stripper boasts a solid construction that exudes durability and reliability. For anyone looking to invest in a high-quality wire stripper that will last, I cannot recommend the KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper 10-20 AWG enough.
