About the Klein Insulated Klein-Kurve Wire Stripper/Cutter, 10 to 18 AWG Solid, 12 to 20 AWG Stranded - 11055RINS

Uncompromising safety for high-voltage work!

The Klein Tools 11055RINS insulated wire stripper/cutter is built for professionals working in high-risk electrical environments where safety is non-negotiable. Individually tested and certified to meet or exceed ASTM F1505-16(2021) and IEC 60900:2018 standards, this tool offers 1000V rated protection, giving you peace of mind when working near live circuits.

The tool features thick, multi-layer insulated handles designed to help prevent electric shock. A white underlayer serves as a visual warning if the insulation is ever compromised—an extra layer of safety built right into the tool. Whether you're cutting, stripping, or looping 10-18 AWG solid or 12-20 AWG stranded wire, the hardened steel shear-type cutting blades deliver crisp, clean results that reduce frayed wires and minimize rework.

The integrated screw shears cleanly cut 6-32 and 8-32 screws, perfect for custom-length screw installs on electrical devices. The spring-loaded, self-opening action reduces hand fatigue and increases productivity, especially when performing repetitive tasks on the jobsite. With a jaw capacity of 0.75 inches, this tool handles most common wire sizes, and the compact 7.7-inch length makes it easy to use in tight panels or crowded junction boxes. The lightweight 7.7 oz design and comfortable insulated grips reduce strain during long workdays.

Made in the USA, this Klein Tools 11055RINS insulated wire stripper/cutter delivers reliable performance with built-in protection—ideal for electricians, maintenance professionals, and safety-conscious tradespeople.

Product Features

Feel Confident and Protected While Working Near Live Circuits: Whether you're tackling live panels or energized wiring, this insulated wire stripper/cutter provides peace of mind with protection up to 1000V. Individually tested to exceed ASTM F1505-16(2021) and IEC 60900:2018 standards, it's built for the safety demands of professional electricians. The thick, multi-layer insulation serves as a visual safety indicator—if the outer layer wears through, the inner layer signals you immediately.
Work Faster Without Switching Between Tools: Streamline your workflow with a tool that handles multiple tasks—cutting, stripping, looping, and screw shearing—all in one. Compatible with 10–18 AWG solid and 12–20 AWG stranded copper wires, it also cleanly shears 6-32 and 8-32 screws without thread damage. At 4.75" (12.1 cm) wide, it gives you enough room for control while staying compact enough to work around crowded junction boxes or tight conduit corners.
Reduce Fatigue with Comfortable, Responsive Design: Spring-loaded action opens the jaws automatically after each cut, minimizing strain during repetitive use. Its ergonomic handle with a high-visibility orange and light gray color scheme ensures a confident grip and easy identification in cluttered tool bags or dim conditions. Despite its durable build, the tool weighs only 7.7 oz (218 g), making it light enough for daily carry without sacrificing ruggedness.
Get Clean, Controlled Cuts Every Time: The shear-type cutting blades deliver smooth, controlled cuts with minimal effort, reducing the risk of jagged edges or crushed wire ends. The jaws offer a 0.75" (1.9 cm) capacity and are precision-machined to strip and shape wires with minimal rework. A 0.25" (0.6 cm) jaw size ensures a slim profile for precision work in outlet boxes or electrical panels.
Trust a Tool That’s Built to Withstand Jobsite Realities: Made in the USA with hardened steel, this stripper/cutter is engineered for long-lasting performance under harsh conditions. Its tough construction and high-quality materials hold up to daily wear while maintaining sharpness and accuracy. With overall dimensions of 7.7" x 4.75" x 1.2", it fits neatly into tool belts and storage boxes while still standing out with its pro-grade build and safety-first design.
