ENGINEER PA-14 Professional Precision Wire Stripper for Micro-Thin Wires. Made in Japan. Solid Wire (AWG 32-20), Stranded Wire (AWG 34-22). Sharp & Perfect Round Finishing Edge

Great quality and very sharp. Thank you!

These are very nice. A bit pricey for what you actually get, but if you do a lot of work with wire, they're worth it. I stripped a little bit off a piece of 30AWG wire, then stripped a bit more. I looked at the wire where it made the cut for the first strip under (very) high magnification and didn't see any nicks in the wire at all. So these are really good wire strippers. Some others I had (much older) would nick the wire some times, and once that happens, it will break sooner or later. So I trust these strippers. In other words, "I like 'em!"

I was looking for a precision wire stripper for my electronics bench and this product did not disappoint. I was impressed with the quality of construction of the tool and ergonomic feel of the handle. This tool is precision made and strips small gauge solid wire for prototyping, wire-wrapping or breadboard purposes. The jaws of the stripper come together with a precision feel, and it has a lock for when the tool is stored. It accurately strips insulation of 22, 24 and 34 gauge wires without nicking the wire (those are the most common wire gauges I use on my bench). Would order again if needed a replacement.

Best wire stripper I have used, period. Expensive and worth it.

I purchased these strippers with a specific purpose in mind, rewireing audio tonearm. These use 32-34 awg wire to bring the signal from the cartridge to the phono preamplifier. The wire must be small enough to not inhibit the tonearm and cartridge from tracking the record as intended. I use generally milspec 34 awg wire, as the specs are generally higher than many arms are equiped with. The number of strands in this small guage wire I use vary from 7-17 to make up the 34awg wire guage. It's extremely mportant to leave all strands fully intact to achieve the desired results. Though I haven't wired a tonearm yet using these, I have stripped a couple different wires that I have and they cleanly removed the insulation with any damage that I can see. All othe strippers I have purchased,Klien , blue point and others are not built with the precision of these strippers. I'm thrilled and have, of and on tried to find this quality and price for the last 20 years. Well worth the asking price and I am daunted by working with small guage anymore. Thank you for making these available, maybe I clean off the work bench a get to work today!

Beautiful quality. First time stripping 24 AWG wire, silky smooth and no wire threads cut. Just on another level compared to my other wire strippers. I wish all my hand tools were this nice. Definitely worth paying a little more for.

These were recommended to me by a engineer friend. They do work very well. The only downside is the spring is a bit weak, but really not a problem.

The stripper closes too much. The smallest gauge slot just cuts the wire entirely. There is no gap when the stripper is fully closed. The second smallest isn't much better. I'm pretty sure all of the slots are undersized when fully closed. Luckily I needed this for the smaller sizes specifically, so I can still use the undersized large slots. And I can use the larger diameters if I'm careful not to fully squeeze, but it's still poor manufacturing. It's a shame because the overall build quality on these is pretty good. Doesn't look or feel cheap. The sizes that fit do strip really well and the handle has a comfortable level of grip.

This is ideal, for working with pre wired micro SMD LEDs. WOW. It’s gauged only for 22 gauge to 34 gauge wire stripping, and that’s exactly why I got it. The pair seems a bit big in the photo, and I’m not sure why as there isn’t anything in the pic to compare it to. It’s not large at all. It’s about the size of a smaller needle nose pliers. 17.5 cm or 7 inch. It’s just right. Not big and heavy, but - trust me - really engineered well. The wire that I needed this for is so fine even trying to melt the insulation off the wire actually burns the wire right off! When I first used it I thought I had put the wire in the size slightly too big for it and assumed the wire just slipped through. NOPE! It’s just that darn sharp and its jaw shape is just that well designed. No resistance. No cut into my super fine wire. Just the perfect tool for this. And yes! this stripper is so fine and delicate when it works thru a wire end, you feel no resistance! I know the insulation is lighter with this size wire but it’s just a fluid experience. And I know you don’t need an aesthetic experience when you strip wire. What I’m saying is this is really engineered with excellence. It works without tugging or clamping into a wire with a stupid - hard grip. This stripper is so great. I now call it my best wiring tool. Wow. I feel dumb I didn’t buy it sooner. You get your moneys worth, here.

Les commentaires étaient élogieux et je confirme qu’ils les méritent amplement. Très bon outil 🤩

ホームセンターの安いもの使ってましたが、圧着にテクが必要でしたが、これは、気にせず圧着しても、それなりに出来るし、専用圧着器を使ったもの同様に仕上がりが綺麗です。 少々高めですが、流石は名の知れた工具メーカー品です。

Ich habe mir die ENGINEER PA-14 ursprünglich gekauft, weil ich zu Hause ein neues Heimnetzwerk mit Cat7 Slim Kabeln (AWG32) aufgebaut habe. Wer schon mal versucht hat, solche dünnen Adern sauber abzuisolieren, weiß, dass das mit normalen Abisolierzangen fast unmöglich ist. Entweder schneidet man die Litze gleich mit durch oder man reißt die Isolierung ungleichmäßig ab – in beiden Fällen landet das Kabel im Müll. Genau das wollte ich vermeiden, weil ich gleich dutzende Kabel konfektionieren musste. Mit der PA-14 war das plötzlich kein Problem mehr. Jede einzelne Ader ließ sich sauber freilegen, ohne dass auch nur ein Draht beschädigt wurde. Es ist fast schon erstaunlich, wie exakt die Schneiden arbeiten – kein Vergleich zu den üblichen „Universal“-Zangen, die man sonst so kennt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie viel Zeit und Nerven ich dadurch gespart habe. Früher habe ich mir bei dünnen Kabeln oft mit einem Cuttermesser oder sogar vorsichtig mit einem Feuerzeug beholfen. Das war nicht nur unprofessionell, sondern auch gefährlich und unzuverlässig. Mit der PA-14 ging das Konfektionieren dagegen schnell, sauber und fehlerfrei. Ich habe das komplette Heimnetzwerk an einem Wochenende fertiggestellt, ohne auch nur ein einziges Kabel wegwerfen zu müssen. Die Verarbeitung ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Man merkt sofort, dass es sich um ein Werkzeug „Made in Japan“ handelt: präzise gefräste Schneiden, spielfreies Gelenk, angenehme Haptik. Die Zange liegt sehr gut in der Hand, auch nach längerer Arbeit, und macht einfach Spaß beim Benutzen. Inzwischen nutze ich sie nicht nur für Netzwerkkabel, sondern auch bei Elektronikprojekten und feinen Litzen im Modellbau. Fazit: Wer dünne Adern verarbeitet oder generell viel mit dünnen Litzen arbeitet, sollte nicht lange überlegen. Die PA-14 spart Zeit, verhindert Ausschuss und liefert Ergebnisse auf Profi-Niveau. Für mich eines der besten Werkzeuge, die ich mir je gekauft habe!

These are absolutely spectacularly good wire strippers for those really thin fiddly wires which seem to have super-humanly strong insulation; you know the type, it breaks your thumbnail if you try to strip it that way, or blunts your teeth if you try that... These have razor sharp cutouts for stripping; you do need to make sure you use the right gauge hole, too lose and it'll shave the insulation closer than a 5-blade razor, too tight and it'll take some of the copper strands with it (or shave the solid conductor, see above). Be aware that these come in two sizes - one goes from 0.25mm to 0.95mm, the the other does from 0.8 to 2.5mm. I have the smaller one - in fact, I have two, because I lost the first ones (then found them after I'd bought a replacement. They're not cheap, but they're excellent quality and I highly recommend them.
