Wire stripper for 14 to 12 AWG solid

The Ideal 45-621 is a manual wire stripper designed for electrical work. It handles solid wire from 14 AWG down to 12 AWG and stranded wire from 2 AWG through 12 AWG. The tool also cuts 6-32 and 8-32 bolts. It is suited for electricians and technicians who need a single tool for multiple wire gauges and bolt sizes.

Pocket lock mechanism

The pocket lock mechanism keeps the jaws closed during storage, reducing the risk of damage or accidental cuts. Angled handles provide a more natural wrist position when stripping or cutting. The plastic body keeps the tool lightweight. These features combine to make repetitive stripping and cutting tasks faster and less fatiguing over a full workday.

Simple manual adjustment with nose-side stripping

Installation is not required; the tool is ready to use out of the package. Manual adjustment selects the wire gauge, and the stripping action occurs on the nose side of the jaws. The most common issue is selecting the wrong gauge setting, which can nick the conductor or leave insulation behind. Users should verify the setting on a scrap piece before stripping installed wire.

Questions about this item

Will the cutting edges for 6-32 and 8-32 bolts need replacement?

The tool cuts 6-32 and 8-32 bolts; hardened steel edges resist wear but will dull after heavy use and cannot be resharpened.

What limits continuous stripping of 12 AWG solid wire?

Hand fatigue from the angled handles and the manual adjustment mechanism set the practical limit during all-day use.

Does the plastic body get hot or slip when stripping wire all day?

The transparent plastic body stays cool; the pocket latch mechanism adds grip, but the handles are not insulated.
