- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025I've tried a couple of other wire strippers - but they were finicky. These are sharp and do a nice job on various gauges. The backstop is great for stripping consistent lengths. However, since I strip different types of wires, I generally eyeball it. Bottom line, if you're looking for a stripper, this one does a great job.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021Since I have trouble with old manual Klein Tools Multi Tool, stripper, crimper, wire cutter, cutting some of the strands of stranded wire, no matter how careful I am, probably due to my never aligning the wire and the striper precisely, I decided to give an automatic stripper a try.
GLAD I DID. So far, I’ve used the Capri stripper on both stranded and solid wires from 12 to 18 gauges with perfect results, No scored or cut strands and no scoring on the solid wire.
With my old one, I used to try using one size larger than the actual gauge in order to avoid cutting some strands, but it was often hard to cut through the insulation and I still cut some of the strands, but with this automatic stripper, I simply use the same size stripper opening as the actual wire gauge.
I do use the optional guide/wire stop that you can add to the tool to regulate the strip length of the strip for consistent strips. although it is a bit cumbersome. However, the stop is easily removed and stored without affecting the stripper.
The optional guide/wire stop is easy to install and the plastic stop can easily be removed and stored away if not needed. It does help get consistent strips, but is a just bit cumbersome to use. No installation instructions provided, so I Emailed Capri and they quickly Emailed a picture showing the installation and told me to remove the lower Allen screw using the supplied Allen wrench and replace it with guide’s screw.. Their picture is attached.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021One note of interest is the fact that all five companies.
Make the same frame and chassis. From Taiwan....
Capri $22.00
Baishite $20.99
Ideal $36.00
Klein Tool $29.00
GB-Gardner Bender $16.00
Southwire $19.99.....
A side from the various color schemes, and rubber handle grip differences, and some having a stop guide, and others like Klein having a solid copper, no strand, wire cutter...
They are all made in Taiwan...
Got to say...
That this Capri Designed with the optional stop guide.
Is a very nice product...
Like others have said.
I dont know why I didn't get one of these 20 years ago...
And even though the Capri, doesnt come with its own built in cutter. I already own over 10 wire cutters, and so for me the stop guide works for me...😎
One thing I wish these came with a case. That has pockets to upgrade, and add other AWG cutter Head's. Nothing too bulky, but enough to get the thing in my larger toolbox. A way to keep other tools from clanking against it, damaging it. While not in use.
Excellent Product.
Cuts perfectly, every time...
Does not Damage Stranded wires.
Another detail.
Is on the stop guide.
The plastic guide stop should have a brass threaded insert.
So over time.
The metal nurled knob, its threads dont strip the cheap plastic threads on the clear plastic stop.
Would be even better, if they could just make a metal stop guide, that flips down, and out of the way. When not in use, or not needed...that would eliminate the need for brass threads....
Would recommend this product to other's....Very Well Machined...
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024I used this stripper to push insulation aside and create bare metal wire for later soldering another wire to it while wiring 22 to 12/14 gauge wire on my model railroad layout. It worked very well. Ergonomically, it's about as good as you can get.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020Like other reviews all I can say is why did I wait so long to buy these. I don't need them for much but they stripped 22 gauge wire easily and cleanly without taking any copper strands, that's the smallest gauge wire this tool does, it was for an led strip light that came without connectors that I was adding to my new vacuum using a 921 T10 male socket connector. That's the type of socket and auto bulb the vacuum used in a poorly lit/located light, may as well have not even had one, so after seeing other new vacuums with led lights plus my poor eyesight I decided to upgrade my new vacuum. I have a great pair of wire strippers now that are a pleasure to use and saved money by not buying the Klein version which is basically the same exact design/materials, didn't need to use the included plastic adaptor to set the length of sheath to cut just eyeballed it no problem. If you need to see them in action go to YouTube. So stop using a pen knife or those old squeeze and pull stripper crimpers and get yourself a quality tool made for the task, you've waited long enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020Instructions were not included on how to install the optional guide. I have included some photographs to show how it should be installed. You can always use this tool without the guide. But, it provides an easy way to strip multiple wires to the exact same length.
For those of you who are complaining about a stiff spring, get a grip! This thing is built solid and works very well. Personally, I don't look at (or trust) the numbers on the guide at first. I find an obviously oversized hole, and then try each smaller hole from there until I get a good strip. That way, I know I'm not accidentally cutting any wire strands. I can then use those numbers for repeatability, if stripping multiple wires of the same size.
I purchased this unit to replace one that lasted for about 35 years. Let's hope this one lasts just as long! LOL

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality that works great
I've wanted the catapult style of stripper for a while and finally saw these and after seeing all the positive reviews decided they were the pair for me. My first impression when they arrived was that I won't ever need another pair of strippers again, very high quality versus cost and nice weight and feel in your hand. I've been using them for a few weeks now and am still very satisfied with the ease of use and the results that I'm getting, whether its a 4 gauge of 22 gauge wire it's taking of the casing without any of the wire. I would buy these again but I have a feeling that they will be last forever with proper use and care. I truly recommend these to everyone and personally regret waiting so long to get them.
