Klein Tools 21051 Large Cable Stripper (2/0-250 MCM)

This tool truly makes your work easier. Since I bought it, I no longer risk cutting my hands with a knife. It’s very easy to use—excellent!

I tried a coworker's and was instantly hooked. I strip mostly 3/0 so I removed the other stripping heads (1 set screw each) to lighten it, and so that I can look inside the tool and see exactly how far I've stripped. Bonus - in this state, it can also be used as a tool for making sharp bends in wire (just stick the wire through and crank on it with the rounded edges of the tool). Makes very clean ends with no damage to the conductors and saves your wrist a bit as well. If you strip a lot of big wire, you'll love this thing. Also I read a review that says it doesn't work well on simpull wire due to the lubricated outer jacket - well I am here to say that you can strip that stuff no problem once you get the hang of it. I was getting caught up on the jacket at first, but by my fifth wire or so I had figured out how to get it goings, so fear not if you too are a simpull user

I was impressed! 1/0, 2/0, and 4/0 like it was nothing. When you use it, make sure that you start the blade where the insulation any give it two full turns, so you can gauge how many times you need to turn and stop. You can gauge how many times you need to do it, because you can't just continue; you have to start over for it to work correctly. Other than that, the insulation gets stuck, and you have to remove it, or sometimes you can just start over and push it out, but why dull your work blades?

Works great.

Tool easily peels cables with cross link polyethylenes insulation jackets. Works so well it’s easy to peel off too much insulation! And that’s the only small issue, it’s hard to see how much bare cable has been exposed. Otherwise a must have tool when wiring with large gauge cable. Some reviewers described having to use the next larger hole 3/0 for 2/0 cable etc. Yes, it’s a tight fit pushing cable into the correct guage hole for peeling but that way the peeling knife digs right in and cuts the insulation off cleanly right down to the wire. Totally recommend this tool.

Makes doing laterals an absolute breeze.

Nice

I am an Underground Lineman. I bought both strippers. On the small stripper for the secondary, I had to use the 3/0 slot to strip the 2/0 cable, and the 250mcm to strip the 4/0 because the wire was too large for the holes. These are both Prysmian and General Cable brand insulated secondary wire. On the larger cables, same brand, the 350mcm hole on this tool is way too small for the cable... So I returned it. I guess there are different sizes diameters for different brands of cable. Maybe some wires have more insulation than others, because I went up to an electrician who was installing both 2/0 and 4/0 wire, and both of his wires worked perfectly in my stripper. Either way, Klein should be ahead of the ball game and have their ducks in a row because they are supposed to be the industry standard for line work. On top of that, these were pretty pricey at $60 a piece. I wouldn't buy again.
