Lightweight, easy to handle. Made in Germany.
The wire stripper must be durable, because it arrived in a non-padded plastic envelope, and the product box was smashed all to h*ll. My first thought was that the product was busted up and tiny pieces would just fall out of the package.Buy, was I wrong! I poured the wire stripper out of its smashed packaging, and it was in one piece. Not even the small wire depth adjuster was broken. Nothing was broken. This speaks to me of the quality and durability of a product that is not entirely made of metal. So, just because the outer cover is plastic (ok, it's nylon), that doesn't mean inferior.Using it was another story. At first, it just seemed awkward to hold and insert the wire into the front. After a few practice runs, however, I was pleased with the operation of the device. This precision instrument is lightweight, so it can be used for a long time without tiring from holding a heavier instrument. The handle fits the hand comfortably, and squeezes with ease. Stripping the wire is effortless.Additionally, the size is compact and can be made even more so with the handle lock: Just squeeze the handle as if stripping wire and active the lock. The instrument now becomes more compact. Nice!Although German engineered and manufactured, there are a few negatives (these do not detract from the overall operation):1) the built-in wire cutter is just awkward -- just use a regular wire cutter;2) the longest measured cut is only 12mm or 1/2-inch -- not a deal breaker. Just bypass the depth gauge by passing the wire around it.3) support? unknown.Would I buy Weicon again. Most likely, but I would also consider Klein Tools (different design).

Better than the similar Knipex stripper
Works consistently every time, with small 22awg and large 12awg gauge wire.

Great strippers. Work as advertised.
I do a lot of small wire work, landing wires into terminal blocks. I've gotten to be pretty fast with classic wire strippers, but now I hardly use them. If you need several dozen wires stripped an exact amount, you can't do better than this. I've had no problems with any size wire, though I don't work with 22-24 AWG.I repaired a damaged 10-wire ribbon cable right after I received this Weicon. It cut the time it took to splice out the bad section in half, and it looked a whole lot nicer. It's kinda fun to strip the ends of twenty wires in less than a minute. Click-click-click-click-done!The wire does need to be mostly straight at the end, and there's definitely a little technique to using these quickly. It's less fussing than regular strippers, but not nothing.They weigh almost nothing. Some people complain that it feels cheap. To me, they feel surprisingly light, but the action is smooth and precise. They are always in my bag of essential tools.

Nearly perfect
Great build quality, very easy and efficient to use. Can't belive I've been using one of tjose cheak plier-like wire strippers. This tool is simple and elegantly designed. It feels like a very high quality item in the hand and takes remarkably little force applied to do the job. It does have a built-in wire cutter, which isn't so easy to see from the pictures which is simple and functional. I'd give it perfect marks except it takes a little extra care to center the wire in the jaws than it should for small wires, it's like the V shape is a little too shallow, but I'm sure that's due to other design restraints. Aso the stop isn't very fine in it's adjustment and it takes added attention to get consistent strip lengths with small wires. All that said, I think it would be difficult to find a better tool for the purpose.

A Pleasure to Use
I really live this tool. They are by far the most comfortable and effective automatic wire strippers I’ve ever used. From 12ga down to 18g, solid and stranded, they are nearly perfect. After a year of heavy use, they are starting to slip a bit, but I’m not disappointed at all. They have more than paid for themselves, and I’m ordering a new pair to replace them.

Wow! What a stripper!
I wish I would have gotten this tool 50 years ago. I have had all kind of wire strippers in my life as a professional auto technician specializing in electronic problems. Tools that you had to choos the right port for the size of wire you were trying to strip and once found and you squeeze the handles it would bit your hand! I have used other tool of simular design but all are harder to work. This tool has shar blades but does not damage the most delicate wire. It can get the end of a wire in a hole and do a clean strip with very little effort.

Not as pictured
This item is not as pictured or described. There is no "adjustable and removable length stop". The only way to adjust how much insulation you strip is by eye. I checked the flimsy box it came in to see if it was in there-nope. I actually ordered this item twice, thinking there had to be some mistake with the first one. Second one had same problem--missing strip gauge. Poorly packaged piece of plastic piece of crap.

Great quality strippers
This is amazing quality for the price. Strips thin wire and thick wire with ease, no cutting of the strands. Great for thin Hugh gauge wires in modern automotive wiring. Will recommend these 100% of the time to anyone looking for wire strippers

Stript goed! Van dun tot wat dikker, nog geen gekke dingen tegengekomen. Plastic, maar werkt naar behoren zonder perse goedkoop aan te voelen. Blij met deze aankoop.
