I purchased both new unused and old used copies. I searched for these older versions, generation one . The newer versions, generation two, are different. The handle grips have different surfaces. That is the only difference. I got these as another copy as a spare. Klein Tools, USA quality. I have used them to also cut and trim wire , as a pair of pliers to grip stuff, prune shrubbery. Klein Tools is one of the brand names I own and use .

I'm an electrical contractor. These strippers are a huge improvement from the older model in the cutting part of the stripper. 3 stars is because, I cant believe that Klein took the locking mechanism off! Put it back on Klein! Let the guys that don't like it, take it off themselves! Who makes these ridiculous decisions? Hilary Clinton?

Good solid product, usual Klein quality. I would have given 5 stars, but the tool lacks a locking device to hold the pliers in the closed position. With spring-loaded handles, this makes it difficult to stow the pliers in a tool pouch or pocket. How Klein could overlook this detail is hard to understand. They provide a proper lock on the model K12055 strippers.

Heavy duty tool which allows wire stripping of different gauges. Has a wide and sharp cutter. Wide pliers nose for twisting wire and wire wire nuts eliminates the need for lineman’s pliers. Nice ergonomic grips. Made in the USA. Can’t go wrong with Klein tools.

Many years of hard use lead to replacing my previous klien strippers with this new, heavier duty, multifunction version. Very glad to have purchased these.
