Tolsen Wire Cutter and Wire Stripper 190mm - SK5 Steel Multi-Function Electrical Pliers

MPN: 38053

Barcode: 6933528738909

Size: 190mm (7.5")

Weight: 220g

Overview:

The Tolsen Wire Cutter and Wire Stripper is a 190mm (7.5") multi-function hand tool made from SK5 steel, designed for electrical and cable work. It cleanly cuts solid and standard copper wire and strips wire gauges from 8 to 16 AWG using CNC machine-processed notches for accurate, damage-free results.

A coil spring delivers fast self-opening action between operations, lessening hand strain throughout repetitive work. The grip handle provides high leverage for firm, controlled cuts and strips across a range of wire sizes.

In addition to cutting and stripping, the tool crimps 2.5mm and 4mm terminals and features a dedicated cable stripping function on the tip for cables up to 16mm - making it a compact, capable option for trade electrical work.

Key Features and Benefits

• SK5 Steel Construction: Built from SK5 steel, providing a strong, lasting cutting edge suited to solid and standard copper wire.
• CNC-Processed Stripping Notches: Notches are machine-cut for accurate stripping across 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8 AWG gauges without conductor damage.
• Coil Spring Self-Opening: A built-in coil spring returns the handles to the open position after each squeeze, speeding up repetitive tasks.
• High-Leverage Grip Handle: The handle shape provides excellent leverage for consistent, controlled operation through cuts and strips.
• Integrated Crimping Function: Crimps 2.5mm and 4mm terminals, covering common connection types found in electrical installations.
• 16mm Cable Stripping Tip: A dedicated stripping function at the tip handles cables up to 16mm in diameter, scoring the outer jacket cleanly.
• Wire Cutting Capacity: Cuts wire and cable up to 0.75" (19.1mm) in diameter for a wide range of electrical and installation tasks.
• Multi-Function in One Tool: Combines cutting, stripping, and crimping, reducing the number of tools needed on site.
• Compact and Portable: At 190mm and 220g, this tool is light and easy to carry into confined workspaces or on tool belts.
• Professional-Grade Performance: Built to handle the demands of regular trade use in electrical installation and maintenance environments.

Typical Applications

• Stripping insulation from electrical wiring in residential and commercial installations.
• Cutting solid and standard copper wire to length during electrical fit-out work.
• Crimping terminals in junction boxes, control panels, and wiring looms.
• Stripping outer cable jackets up to 16mm for conduit entry or panel termination.
• Electrical maintenance and repair tasks calling for accurate wire preparation.
• Panel wiring and switchboard assembly where multiple wire gauges are in use.
• Automotive wiring and harness preparation.

How to Use

• Wire Stripping: Select the correct AWG notch (16, 14, 12, 10, or 8) and insert the wire. Squeeze the handles firmly to remove the insulation without damaging the conductor.

• Cable Stripping (Tip): Insert the cable into the tip stripping function for outer jackets up to 16mm. Score around the jacket and pull to remove the outer sheath cleanly.

• Wire Cutting: Position the wire in the cutting jaws at a right angle to the blade. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cut is complete.

• Crimping: Place the terminal into the 2.5mm or 4mm crimping section. Insert the stripped wire end into the terminal and squeeze the handles to form a secure crimp.

• Self-Opening Action: Release the handles after each operation, and the coil spring automatically returns them to the open position, ready for the next use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What wire gauges does this tool strip?
  This tool strips wires in 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8 AWG sizes. Each gauge has its own CNC-processed notch to remove insulation cleanly without cutting into the conductor strands.

• Can this tool strip both solid and stranded copper wire?
  Yes. The cutting jaws and stripping notches are designed to work on both solid and standard copper wire types, making it appropriate for a range of electrical wiring tasks.

• What terminal sizes does the crimping function support?
  The built-in crimping section handles 2.5mm and 4mm terminals. These are among the most common sizes used in general electrical and control panel wiring applications.

• How does the cable stripping tip differ from the wire stripping notches?
  The tip function is designed for removing the outer jacket from larger cables up to 16mm in diameter. The AWG notches handle smaller individual wires and target the insulation layer only, not the outer sheath.

• Is this tool suitable for regular trade use?
  Yes. The SK5 steel construction and CNC-machined notches are built to hold up under regular professional use. The coil spring and grip handle support fast, repeated operation without excessive hand strain.

Summary

The Tolsen Wire Cutter and Wire Stripper (190mm) is a compact, multi-function electrical hand tool made from SK5 steel, covering wire cutting up to 0.75", stripping from 8 to 16 AWG, cable jacket removal up to 16mm, and crimping for 2.5mm and 4mm terminals. With CNC-processed notches and a coil spring handle, it is a sensible choice for electricians and trade professionals needing a single tool for everyday wire preparation tasks.
