Imperial IE-155 Wire Stripper Cutter 10-20 Awg Solid 22 Awg

Product Description

The IMPERIAL IE-155 is a wire stripper and cutter designed for electrical work across residential and commercial applications. Built to handle solid wire from 10 AWG to 20 AWG and stranded wire up to 22 AWG, this tool covers the wire gauges most commonly encountered in low-voltage control wiring, branch circuit work, and panel terminations. The hardened steel handle provides durability under repeated use. At 7.25 inches overall length, it fits comfortably in a tool bag and handles tight-space work without sacrificing leverage. The jaw includes holes for looping wire, adding a secondary function for techs who need to form terminal loops on the job.

This wire stripper suits licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers who regularly terminate control wiring, sensor leads, or low-voltage circuits. It is well-suited for stripping THHN, THWN, and similar insulated conductors in the AWG range common to thermostats, control boards, and branch circuits. The ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during high-volume termination work. A built-in lock protects the cutting and stripping edges when the tool is stored, extending blade life between uses.

Key Features

• Strips solid wire from 10 AWG to 20 AWG and stranded wire up to 22 AWG
• Hardened steel construction for durability and long cutting edge life
• Jaw holes allow on-tool wire looping for terminal connections
• Storage lock protects cutting and stripping edges when not in use
• Ergonomic handle style reduces hand fatigue during extended use
• Meets ASME Standard B107.500-2010

Compatibility

Designed for use with AWG solid and stranded conductors in the 10 AWG to 22 AWG range, typical of residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC control wiring, and low-voltage applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by qualified electricians and technicians working on de-energized conductors. Always confirm circuits are de-energized and locked out before stripping or terminating wire. Follow NEC guidelines for conductor preparation and termination torque requirements at terminals. Keep the storage lock engaged when the tool is not in active use to preserve blade sharpness.
