Insulated Stripper for 10-18 AWG Solid Wire

This Klein Tools 11055RINS stripper and cutter handles solid wire from 10 to 18 AWG and stranded wire from 12 to 20 AWG. The 7.7 inch insulated design is rated for 1,000 volts and features nose-side stripping jaws. It is built for electricians and technicians working on live or de-energised circuits.

Replaces Basic Non-Insulated Strippers

The jump is worth it when the job requires voltage-rated protection up to 1,000 volts. Basic strippers without insulation leave the user exposed on live panels. This tool adds a transparent insulated layer and a cutting capacity that covers both solid and stranded ranges in one head.

Limited to Manual Wire Preparation

The tool only strips and cuts within the listed AWG ranges and cannot crimp, terminate or test connections. It has no adjustment mechanism for non-standard insulation thicknesses. Users needing automatic stripping, crimping dies or data-cable preparation must use a different device.

Questions about this item

What is the overall length of the Klein Tools 11055RINS wire stripper cutter?

The tool measures 7.7 inches in total length, making it compact enough for most tool bags and work belts.

How do I correctly strip solid wire with the nose-side stripping holes?

Match the wire gauge to the labelled hole for 10-18 AWG solid wire, insert the conductor, squeeze the handles fully, then pull straight out without twisting.

When should the insulated handles be replaced due to wear?

Replace the tool if the 1,000 V rated insulation shows cracks, cuts, or exposed metal, as damaged insulation compromises electrical protection.
