Stanley STHT74938 Wire Stripper 10 to 20 Awg

Product Description

The STANLEY STHT74938 is a manual wire stripper designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who work with copper conductors on the job. It handles AWG wire sizes from 10 to 20, covering the range most commonly encountered in residential and light commercial wiring tasks. At 6.0 inches in overall length, the tool balances reach and control in tight panel spaces. In addition to stripping insulation, it cuts copper wire, consolidating two common tasks into a single hand tool. Weighing only 0.31 pounds, it adds minimal bulk to a tool pouch.

This wire stripper is suited for use on standard AWG copper wire in residential wiring, HVAC low-voltage control wiring, thermostat circuits, and general electrical panel work. The 10 to 20 AWG range covers common conductor sizes from larger branch-circuit wires down to small-gauge thermostat and sensor leads. It is packaged as a single unit and is intended for individual trade use rather than bulk kitting.

Key Features

• Strips AWG wire from 10 to 20 gauge in a single tool
• Cuts copper wire, adding a second function without requiring a separate cutter
• Overall length of 6.0 inches for comfortable single-hand operation
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds, suitable for daily carry in a tool pouch
• Non-insulated handles — not rated for live-circuit work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard AWG copper wire ranging from 10 to 20 gauge, as found in residential electrical systems, HVAC control wiring, and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is non-insulated and must not be used on energized conductors. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit at the breaker before stripping or cutting wire. Electricians should follow NEC guidelines for conductor sizing and termination practices. Keep the stripping notches clean and free of insulation debris to maintain consistent strip quality.
