While these wire strippers shine on thicker gauge wires, they can still manage smaller gauge wires, like 22 gauge or smaller, although it may require a bit more finesse. Although not their primary strength, it's commendable that they can handle the smaller wires as well. After using the Irwin wire strippers, it's hard to imagine going back to traditional wire strippers. Their speed and ease of use set a new standard, making wire-stripping tasks more convenient and efficient, and they've become an invaluable tool in my toolkit. Whether you're a professional electrician or a DIY enthusiast, these wire strippers are an excellent addition to your collection and will undoubtedly save you time and effort on your wiring projects.
I am an instrumentation technician so these got plenty of use. I work on the maintenance side of things, not the installation. So perhaps not as much use as installers but they did get used and abused. I would even use these on wire bundles to remove the sheathing without damaging the wire insulation. I'm talking stuff they probably weren't designed for that I had to JAM into the auto stripping part.
I do a lot of climbing stairs and ladders so I like to keep a light weight minimalist bag I can sling over my shoulder, so I appreciate the crimps being included.
They are pretty bulky so they can be a pain if you don't have a lot of wire to work with or if it's in a tight place. The cutters also aren't the best but still work in a pinch.
You can't beat the price for how much I've done with these which is why I'm retiring this pair and getting another after 10 years.

The build quality is good, it feels sturdy on my hand and all the cables come perfectly stripped

Qualidade construtiva, gripe, sistema de corte de fios e de crimpagem excelente.
Agiliza o dia a dia.
I like this tool, I feel it's easy to strip wires now, compared to my previous methods.
I bought 2 of theese, and gave my firend one as well, he's very pleased with the gift as welle :)
I am not a professional now but I was for many years so I have a pretty good idea when tools are good quality and these are pretty good.
There seem to be a load of wire strippers all looking identical so it's hard to tell if it's worth paying the extra for 'Brand' name items like these but I think I did the right thing buying them as the strippers I received seem to be high quality and so far are working well.
I don't think they would be suitable for heavy gauge solid core mains wire but hopefully nobody would be daft enough to buy them for that kind of use.
They are probably not meant to be used for removing the outer insulation of 3 core flex either but I tried it and it worked so....
In summery as a wise man said buy cheap and buy twice. These are not crazy expensive but not the cheapest so hopefully will give years of service.
