The IDEAL Electrical 45-415 Reflex Premium T-5 T-Stripper Wire Stripper, 10-18 AWG Solid, 12-20 AWG Stranded, has been designed for total comfort and wire stripping. The stripper features a Thumb-Valley thumb guide that offers comfort and focuses on kinetic energy for faster stripping. The textured non-slip grips helps in reducing stress on the hands, while the narrow plier nose facilitates holding and twisting of wires in hard-to-reach places. The Pocket-Locket mechanism holds the stripper tightly when the tool is slipped from the hands and it is color coded for easy reference.
