Pros and cons
Pros
- One tool covers several common electrical tasks, reducing the need to switch between separate strippers, cutters and crimpers.
- The narrow long nose is intended to reach into tight electrical spaces, while serrated jaws can pull, loop and bend wire.
- The listing specifies separate solid and stranded wire ranges, making compatibility easier to compare with intended work.
Cons
- The listed wire ranges are specific, so buyers working with wire outside them should choose a tool rated for that gauge.
