Klein Tools 1003 Wire Stripper Cutter Without Spring

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 1003 is a wire stripper and cutter designed for electricians and other trade professionals who work with electrical wiring on a daily basis. This tool handles the stripping and cutting of wire in a single compact unit, eliminating the need to switch between tools during installation or service work. Built without a spring mechanism, it gives the user direct control over grip tension, which some techs prefer in tight or awkward work spaces. At 0.2 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without hand fatigue.

The 1003 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, including panel wiring, device rough-in, fixture installation, and low-voltage control wiring. It is a common choice for electricians, HVAC technicians handling control circuits, and other trades that regularly terminate or reroute conductors. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry in a tool pouch or service bag.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize circuits before stripping or cutting conductors and verify the absence of voltage with a calibrated tester. This tool is intended for use by qualified electricians or trained trade professionals in compliance with applicable NEC requirements. Keep cutting edges clean and inspect the tool periodically for wear to maintain consistent strip quality.
