Wiha 56871 Wire Stripper 10 to 20 Awg 7 Inches

Product Description

The WIHA 56871 is a professional-grade wire stripper designed for stripping solid and stranded copper conductors from 10 AWG to 20 AWG. At 7 inches overall length, it fits comfortably in a technician's hand for extended use. The ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during repetitive stripping tasks, while the precise cutting edges deliver clean, consistent strips without nicking the conductor. Finger jam protection adds a layer of safety during operation. Soft touch tension return springs assist opening action, keeping workflow efficient on the bench or in the field. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and control wiring specialists will find this tool well suited to panel work and low-voltage wiring tasks.

The WIHA 56871 is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, panel terminations, and low-voltage installations. Its 10 AWG to 20 AWG range covers the most common wire gauges encountered in thermostat wiring, relay and contactor control circuits, branch circuit wiring, and general electrical rough-in and finish work. The 7-inch form factor makes it practical in confined spaces such as electrical boxes and control panels where a full-size stripping tool may be awkward to maneuver.

Key Features

• Strips wire gauges from 10 AWG to 20 AWG (0.81 mm to 2.59 mm wire diameter)
• Ergonomic handle style reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use
• Precise cutting edges produce clean strips without conductor damage
• Finger jam protection guards against pinch injuries during operation
• Soft touch tension return springs assist tool opening for faster cycling
• Compact 7-inch overall length suits confined panel and box work

Compatibility

Designed for use with solid and stranded copper conductors in the 10 AWG to 20 AWG range, covering typical gauges used in residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC control, and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed electricians and trained HVAC or low-voltage technicians. Always de-energize circuits and verify with a meter before stripping or terminating conductors. Work performed on branch circuits must comply with the applicable edition of the NEC and local jurisdictional requirements. Keep cutting edges clean and free of debris to maintain strip quality over time.
