### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

This is like the most basic of wire strippers but does the job. FWIW, electrical wire itself is not as hard as wire for a spring or piano or such. Those hard wires may damage this tool (I have not tried). This tool is great for simple electrical wire. I have good results with both solid core and stranded. Good Things -Small, light, thin. -Can be locked (via screw) to work with a specific gauge of wire -Rivet on pivot will not get lost -Really cheap, if you lose it you're not out $$$ -Finish appears to resist corrosion -Has cutting & stripping areas on tool (most people prefer separate tools, but this works for both) Bad Things -Rivet on pivot (cannot be tightened, replaced etc) -No label for gauge sizes, may not be a big thing for you -Small, if you have big hands this tool may be too small -No spring on the model I chose. Most tools like this 'spring' open, check your model # -No fixed strip length, probably not expected on this cheap of a tool, but better ones to have it
