Precision Wire Stripper & Cutter

The Klein Tools 11055 Klein-Kurve is a hand tool designed for electricians and technicians who need to prepare solid and stranded wire. It combines cutting, stripping, looping and screw-shearing functions in a single pair of pliers. Double-dipped comfort grips and a coil spring reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. A closure lock keeps the jaws shut for safe storage.

Ideal for residential and light commercial wiring

This tool suits professionals and DIYers working with common building wire sizes who value a self-opening action and integrated screw shearing. It is not suited for users who primarily handle wire gauges outside the specified AWG ranges or require heavy-duty cutting capacity for larger conductors. Buyers needing insulated handles rated for live-line work should look elsewhere.

Handles 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded wire

Precision-ground holes strip insulation cleanly from solid wire between 10 and 18 AWG and stranded wire from 12 to 20 AWG. The serrated nose grips wire firmly for bending and pulling, while dedicated holes form loops. Hardened shear slots cleanly cut 6-32 and 8-32 machine screws without damaging threads. The tool reaches its limit with thicker cables or harder materials beyond these specifications.
