June 27, 2017 (Lincolnshire, Ill.) – (), for professionals since 1857, introduces the Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper, which is forged from the company’s U.S.-made proprietary steel and four times stronger than traditional Klein wire strippers. The breakthrough design of the American-made stems from many of the same processes used in the production of ’ industry-leading pliers.
Starting with the heritage of our forged Klein pliers, the Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper is designed specifically for stripping, cutting, and twisting 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded wire. The stripping holes are precision-ground and the cutting knives are induction-hardened for longer life. Another unique feature is the thicker, knurled jaw that can twist up to three wires at a time.
“We are confident that the tried-and-true process used to make pliers will be just as successful bringing strength and durability to our wire strippers,” says David Klein, associate director of product management at . “Wire strippers are used in tough situations and can take a beating over the years. Forging them in the best steel available means they will be around for years to come – and might even last as long as your pliers!”
The Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper has a hot-riveted joint to ensure smooth action and no handle wobble. It also has 6-32 and 8-32 bolt shearing holes and Klein-Kurve™ comfort grip handles.
