Klein Tools 1004 Wire Stripper Cutter with Spring

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 1004 is a spring-loaded wire stripper and cutter designed for daily use by electricians and low-voltage technicians. The integrated return spring reduces hand fatigue during repetitive stripping tasks by automatically reopening the jaws after each cut. Built for work on the bench or in the field, this tool handles the wire stripping and cutting tasks common to residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring work. At 0.2 pounds, it is compact and light enough to carry on a tool belt without adding bulk.

The 1004 is well suited for electricians working on branch circuit wiring, low-voltage control wiring, and instrumentation cable. It fits naturally into panel work, junction box terminations, and rough-in tasks where a reliable, consistent strip length matters. The spring-return action makes it a practical choice for high-volume termination work where tool efficiency directly affects job time.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded design automatically opens jaws between cuts, reducing hand fatigue
• Dual-function tool strips insulation and cuts wire in a single instrument
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds, suitable for tool belt carry
• Compact form factor fits confined spaces such as panel boxes and junction boxes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tool for use in electrical, low-voltage, and control wiring applications across residential and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians. Always de-energize and verify circuits are at zero voltage before stripping or cutting any wire. Inspect the tool before each use for damaged cutting edges or worn jaw inserts that could result in incomplete strips or nicked conductors. Follow NEC guidelines for proper conductor preparation before termination.
