Where are these made?

Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. The country of origin for this self adjusting wire stripper is Taiwan.

How can you tell which crimp area to use? The color codes on the tool show 2 "ranges" of wire gauge, but it looks like there are 3 crimp areas.

On the left there is a label ("INSUL AND NON-INSUL") that points the center of the two places to crimp, with the one closest to the pivot color coded for blue and yellow connectors (or 16 - 10 gauge), and the next crimp area for red connectors (or 22 - 18 gauge). The bump on the right side between the two is not meant for crimping.

does it cut guitar strings ? how about bike break cable

Get a pair of piano grade wire cutters to avoid ruining your strippers, as the chaps are saying, it's good for copper and electrical cables and not suited to spring steel and bike brake cables.

Anyone uses it for jewlery making? How is it? Thanks!

I've never used it for jewelry but it cuts wire very crisply and the nose has a flat crimper that would close small metal parts easily.

The Best Wire Stripper for DIY Projects 🛠💪

Guys, let me tell you about the IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripper. This tool is an absolute game-changer for any DIY enthusiast out there. I mean, it cuts through wires like butter, no joke! The 8-inch size is just perfect for me - not too big, not too small. Plus, the ProTouch Grip is a total lifesaver, providing maximum comfort for those long projects. I seriously can't imagine my toolbox without this bad boy now.Honestly, if you're into DIY stuff or just need a reliable wire stripper for odd jobs around the house, this is the one for you. It handles 10-22 AWG wires like a champ, and the plier-style nose makes it super easy to maneuver. I've used a few different wire strippers in the past, but this one takes the cake. Highly recommend it, folks! 🔥👌
