Southwire - 65172140 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

See some good and bad reviews. I find if you make the cut then regrab the sheath further down with the cutters not cutting through and pull off the cover it does an excellent job. Not marking the wires inside. Can reach inside boxes easily now.

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.

Received as advertised.

I thought the product was great it seems very sturdy the cutting blades are very sharp it has a loophole and cutters and strippers and Romex strippers it is a bit awkward in a tool pouch so I tend to hang it where the screwdrivers would go on the outside. Do not try and use this tool to pull the Romex off unless you are using the flat surface at the biting end. If you try to use the sharp cutters and pull on the pliers themselves you may damage the conductors inside the sheathing to counteract this southwire has made it so the grips slide off easily you are intended to cut the wire with this tool and then pull it out of the box with your hand. From what I can tell of the reviews the bad ones are either people being too picky or people who don't know how to properly use this tool. I would buy it again and I'm thinking about buying a pair for my coworkers.

A great tool for stripping romex; except, as you pull back on the handles the rubber (?) grips slip off. I found I have to put one finger, of the hand holding the tool, around the front of the tool to keep the handles intact. Other than that, the tool works really well and I don't know why I took so long to buy it.
