Southwire65172140 SNM1214HH-US ROMEX BOXJaw Wire Stripper, Dual Wire Cutter Strips both 12/2 & 14/2 Romex NMB JACKETS and 12 and 14 AWG Solid Wire

This product has saved me a lot of time and is totally worth the investment.

Ok this is a handy stripper. You can get into the box quite deep. Also can strip 14ga and 12ga wire. Also has a bolt cutter. So yes the handle slides off. Uh…a couple of drops of E6000 and that was fixed. Not a huge issue. I’ve had mine for 2 years, cutters are perfectly aligned. I don’t see the handle as a big issue. If you can strip a wire you can glue a handle.

The functionality is fantastic, but I the grips slipped off from day one. I had to glue them on myself and then it worked great. Otherwise I would definitely give it 5 stars.

I am doing a DIY project in my backyard shed wiring it to run off a generator. I always have issues getting the sheathing off of Romex mainly due to my refusal to use utility knives. These strippers are amazing, I have been using them for both 12g and 14g romex and it pulls the sheathing off perfectly. It also has 12/14g wire strippers includes and a hole in the handle specifically for making the hooks on end of wires for receptacles.. These have saves me a ton of time and we’re totally worth the investment.My only complaint was my own fault.. I was working at dusk and lights were getting low. I was cutting bare copper down and I placed my hand below to catch the clipped portion. When I squeezed the clippers, the sheathing stripper portion which extends out a bit on the sides got the palm of my hand and OUCH.. they are sharp indeed.. so now I make sure I have plenty of light and keep my free hand away.. no fault of the tool and avoidable if I was wearing gloves.

I had high hopes for this tool and when it arrived I was very excited to use it. I’m in the middle of a project so I immediately went to a box with wires and reached in and went for a strip. Both handles immediately slipped off the tool and it landed on the floor. So that’s the first problem is that the handles are not glued on. The second problem is the jaws are not in alignment. I have already returned one and received a replacement and it is exactly the same. I’m going to glue the handles on and try it out again today but I have concerns of the wired getting nicked with the jaws being out of alignment. Great concept but somewhat poorly executed. Kind of bummed to have a made in the USA product of this quality.Update- this tool will nick the wire if you are not extremely careful. I nicked 2 wires and am done with this tool. Complete garbage.

The best

Like I see the point and how if you’re forced into a situation this would be nice to strip at the back of the box. However they are poorly made and the hinge joint is wobbly, not very exact with the 12/2 and 14/2 cuts so it’s still a hard pull to remove the sheathing. Takes up a lot of space with the irregular head and doesn’t fit smoothly in a lot of tool pouches etc. really wanted to like this tool but it’s just not it

I am very glad that Southwire came out with these! I used the Klein & Ideal bent-nose Romex strippers for many years, but sadly both manufacturers discontinued them. They are great for being able to get up into a junction box farther to strip sheathing. It's convenient that they put #14 & #12 strippers on the same tool, but I would have been willing to pay for each individually. They are very handy!!
