Wire strippers are one of the most useful tools around and they have been around for a long time. Although there are many varieties to choose from, modern wire strippers are widely considered to have been designed by Stuart G. Wood in 1915 in Brooklyn, New York. As demand has evolved, so has the design of wire strippers, and there are many different styles to choose from, and our toolboxes have become more extensive.
History and Evolution of Wire Strippers
While the complete history of wire strippers prior to 1915 is lost in the mists of time, as are the origins of most of today's stripper styles, there are still many ways to learn about wire strippers.
Depending on the situation you're in and the tool you want to use, there are many ways to go about stripping wire. So, what are the different types of wire strippers available?
Automatic Wire Strippers
Probably the easiest stripper for the average person to use is the self-adjusting stripper, which is available in several designs. For example, the one invented by Klein, a stripper that will save you a lot of time and best of all, a tool that will clamp down on the wire and pull the insulation clean, which is incredible and makes it much easier to strip the wire.
Knipex also makes a stripper with automatic adjustment and a wire stripper pistol grip with automatic adjustment. This wire stripper greatly facilitates people's lives, even if they do not often use it in their daily lives. The automatic adjustment of the wire stripper can bring great convenience to those who use them. Choosing to buy a wire stripper, or even an automatic wire stripper, will save you a lot of time!

If you are stripping many wires of the exact same size or completely different sizes, this tool will perform the job perfectly for you. Each brand comes in a variety of sizes, so be sure to order the correct size to perfectly help you with your complex wire stripping job.

Standard Adjustable Wire Strippers
If you only do occasional wire cutting and stripping, or you just don't want to spend a lot of money on a wire stripper but still want something that will do the job well, you can purchase a standard adjustable wire stripper. Some remove the adjustment factor and simplify the design by simply adding various gauge sizes as slots in the blade area. Many adjustable wire strippers allow you to use adjustable knobs, and these can be used for repeated cutting jobs for screw cutting and stripping various sizes of wire.
