This is one pliers I wish I had 30 years ago.  The Knipex 4-in-1 Electrician’s Pliers is one tool that is critical if you work on household wiring.  It will grip, crimp and strip 10, 12, and 14 gauge electical wire. It will help make your rewiring and new wiring projects easier. You will be glad you spent the extra money and bought this high quality pliers.

What I like.

- The crimping section is in the right place, inside the handle.  This gives you the maximum power to make a crimp connection properly.

- The wire strippers are machined and sharp.  They are exactly the right size so they won’t knick your copper wire.  They are strong enough to cut soft and hard copper and aluminum wire.

- The wire loop hole is at the right location to give you the perfect loop every time you need to wrap a wire around a screw.

- It’s just the right size.  Small enough to not take up a lot of room in your tool belt, but big enough to get the job done every time.
