WEICON Tools Automatic Wire Stripper No. 5, Wire Stripper for Cables from 0.2-6 mm², Side Cutter, Made in Germany

First impressions, this arrived with the box already open and the tool loose inside with no wrapping or other info, so did wonder if this was a returned item. Couldn't find an unboxing video to compare with, but it showed no wear on the blades or marks anywhere, so proceeded to try it rather than return, and it's very nice indeed. The finish could be better and smoother in a few places, however overall In the hand it feels very comfortable and well designed, and also very light being essentially all plastic. Operation is smooth and quiet. Stripping wires such as stranded mains T&E, bread board solid core jumper wires and very thin 4 core 0.14mm stranded signal wire was effortless with no loss of strands from cutting too deep. The stripping is 2mm longer than that indicated on the adjustable slider, but hardly an issue. The lock is probably a handy feature if needing to stow in a small space. So overall very nice, and substantially better than the ubiquitous sub-£10 strippers with flat cut and rip blades.

Very easy to use.

These work very well. The only slight drawback is that, although the blades are supposed to be replaceable, this is only really true for the top blade, and they are also overpriced and I really feel at least one spare blade should have come with the tool. It has finally gone dull after many, many wire strips such that it sometimes doesn't strip properly. Having said that, here's a great tip I just discovered after balking at the cost of a new blade. If you look straight into the jaws of the tool from the front and push the red length adjuster away from you, you'll see a small pozi head screw holding in the top blade. Carefully remove this with a mini screwdriver and you can take this blade out (take note of which way round it goes - the flat side goes towards the nose of the tool). Now you can actually sharpen this blade yourself, if you have something suitable. It doesn't need much. In fact, you could probably just lay it flat side down on some leather and strop it sharp. I just did this and it is as good as new.

Works great on small diameter cable. Only issue is sheath sometimes gets jammed and needs too be manualy removed

Good 👍

The Weicon No. 5 wire stripper is simply superb. Don't be put off by its plastic body; I was pleased to discover it's the tough, high quality "engineering" plastic which has a really nice feel. That along with the great ergonomic design mean it's a pleasure to use, so much so that I'm actually finding excuses just to use it! I read a review where someone had broken the stripping length tab - it does not say on the instructions, but you just pinch and slide - no need to use force. Also note it does not strip very thin (< 1.0mm) wire, but it is not designed for that. If you are a hobbyist who does not want to buy "high end" wire strippers, these are perfect.

Best automatic wire strippers I’ve used, if your looking for something fast comfortable and durable, this is it. Will strip wires from 0.2 - 6mm and does a great job every time. The stripping jaws are sharp and very well made and designed. All in all it’s a great tool and very easy to use.

Many many years ago I bought some automatic wire strippers, they were state of the art at the time. But they’ve aged, so I thought I’d replace them, but I don’t need anything too fancy. It turns out that these are brilliant! Very easy to use, perfect results every time so far, a huge time saver for wiring projects (garden lights in my case). Best purchase for a long time, one very happy customer here. Highly recommended.

YouTubeでJPさんがこれの赤いヤツを使っていたのを見て興味を持ち あと2022年度第一種電気工事士 技能試験で使いたかったので より線対策でワイヤーストリッパーKNIPEX12 62 180と本製品 WEICON No.5 試験ではNo.10が出た、 特に最初の圧着でミスのやり直しには効果があった これが無かったら間に合わなかったかも(元ゼネコン、DIY好き、手先は少し器用な方？大八) 時間内に完成出来たが端子の増し締め、確認時間無し、複線図は合っているみたい これで合格なら 85%はこれのおかげ 単線2.0も綺麗にストリップ出来るので圧着ミスアウトレットボックス内でのやり直す作業でも威力を発揮できるので第二種の技能試験でもおすすめ(1本ずつしかストリップ出来ないが) 想像して下さい技能試験という時間に追われてテンパって焦ってアウトレットボックス内に他の配線がある箇所をストリップ(ハサミ型、ガッチャン型では)し難い事を 練習でボックス内の圧着ミスした仮定でやり直す練習をお勧めします。 試験では上側の赤いゲージがあると12ミリまでしか出来ないので取り外して試験に使った(20ミリ程度まで可能) CVV−2sqより線をこれでストリップすると被覆が先に残った状態になるのでアウトレットボックス内に入れる時ゴムブッシングでバラけるのを防ぐ事が出来た。手で先に残った被覆をとる手間は必要だか飛んでいった被覆を探して捨てるより結果効率的だと思う。 2022年度後期、第二種電気工事士技能試験に望まれる方は保険として購入をおすすめします、ちょっと高いが 値段を抑えたいならマーベルMC−180他探してみては 耐久性は試験前日に届き数回練習して試験に使っただけなので？不明です KNIPEX 、WEICON No.5 共にIV5.5sq 冬で気温のせいか硬く上手くストリップ出来ず無理にやると壊れそうなので カタログ上6□までストリップ出来るがようだが、気温の高い頃試してみます 追 Amazonにレビューでその後があれば、 大体のレビューは購入直後が多く、使っていて良かった気づき、又その逆があればもっと信頼できる なので半年後、1年後、数年後レビューメール、もしくはレビュー内容変更ありますかの確認で修正出来れば いいのに

Just received the tool today and used it on site Here are my honest reviews 1.The quality of the tool is top notch 2. The tool functions as expected - it strips without tearing up the stranded or solid inner metal wire 3. The design is excellent, ergonomic and easy to use 4. Overall a value for money product as compared to other more expensive products I would heartily recommend this product

Fonctionne super bien
