Irwin Vise-Grip 6″ Wire Stripper / Cutter (2078316)

Description

The Irwin Vise-Grip 6″ Wire Stripper / Cutter (2078316) is a high-performance hand tool engineered for professionals and DIYers who demand precision and comfort in their electrical work. This versatile tool is a fundamental component of any electrician’s or hobbyist’s toolkit, designed to simplify the tasks of stripping, cutting, and looping various wire types. Its 6-inch size is compact and easy to handle, providing the perfect balance of power and maneuverability. From its ergonomic ProTouch™ grips to its induction-hardened cutting edges, every feature of this tool is designed to enhance efficiency and reduce user fatigue, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical applications.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Precision Stripping: The tool’s jaws are equipped with pre-measured serrations, allowing you to accurately strip wires from 10 to 24 AWG without damaging the inner conductors. This precision reduces the risk of short circuits and ensures a perfect connection every time.
• Clean Cutting: The induction-hardened cutting edges provide a sharp, long-lasting blade that can make clean cuts through both solid and stranded copper wire. This feature saves time and effort, as it eliminates the need for a separate cutting tool for most common wire sizes.
• Comfortable Handling: The ergonomically designed ProTouch™ grips offer a secure and comfortable hold, minimizing hand fatigue during extended use. This makes the tool easier to use for prolonged periods and improves overall control and accuracy.
• Versatile Functionality: In addition to stripping and cutting, the tool’s pliers-style nose allows for easy pulling, bending, and looping of wires, adding to its versatility and reducing the number of tools you need to carry for a job.
• Smooth Operation: A spring-assisted jaw mechanism ensures the tool opens smoothly after each use, making repetitive tasks quicker and less taxing on your hands.

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Wire: Identify the gauge of the wire you need to strip.
2. Select the Correct Stripping Hole: Use the pre-measured holes on the jaw and match the wire gauge to the corresponding hole. Insert the wire into the correct hole, positioning the tool where you want the insulation to be removed.
3. Strip the Insulation: Squeeze the handles firmly to cut through the insulation. Pull the tool away from the wire to slide the removed insulation off, exposing the clean wire underneath.
4. Cut the Wire (Optional): To cut a wire, place the wire between the induction-hardened cutters at the base of the jaws. Squeeze the handles firmly to make a clean cut.
5. Loop the Wire (Optional): Use the pliers-style nose at the tip of the tool to bend and shape the stripped wire for terminal connections.
