Klein Tools introduces the Klein-Kurve Shear-Cut, Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper, which features shear-cutting knives for a lower force to cut copper wire and larger cables. This updated model integrates Klein’s quadruple-strength design and six stripping holes for use on 8-20 AWG wire.
The manufacturer calls this Made in the USA tool a “breakthrough,” built with a proprietary steel blend that is manufactured to be four times stronger than traditional Klein wire strippers.
The K12035 has an expanded wire-stripping range along with shear-cutting knives for easier cutting.
They’re forged and heavy-duty, the company says, so they’ll be hard to break. Just don’t cut the hot with them.
