The knifes in the cable stripper misaligned after 8 strips.
This rendered wire stripper unusable. Will have to buy another one. But it is not going to be a Klein.
Despite the price it is cheaply made.

Yeah like the title says thats what I did with the old pair. These are large and heavy, but they are nice to handle. The cutting blade requires alot of presure, even when cutting smaller cable, which despite the claim of having 40% more presure at the blade. Stripping isn't as easy as I would have liked though this may be because of them being too big. All over these are a nice tool. I would recomend the smaller pairs unless you have massive hands.

Lacking on the cable shielding. My cable strippers cut right through it and into the cables. Be careful if you have a good strong cable stripper, you may end up wasting more cable than it is worth.

I give this a two because its not the same as the old blade. I had to adjust how I fit the RG59 cable into the stripper as the two blades are not set in the holder like the original. It works well but its not exactly the same as the original. When you do hundreds of cable tips even the slightest change/ imperfection in a new blade will ruin your rhythm.

Upon inspection, I noticed a cut in the jacket of the cable. This was fresh out of the package. I could not determine how deep the cut was but nevertheless, I'm not taking any chances. If the shielding was compromised, the cable is pretty much useless. I returned the item promptly and now waiting on my refund.

Got this since I needed to tighten screws on some knives, and while it mainly worked perfectly it somehow stripped the hell out of one screw even though I used the proper size. Not really sure how it happened, but on the same knife with the same size screws, the second of three total screws ended up getting stripped to the point that it can't be tightened whatsoever by anything, although the other two were perfectly fine. Pretty strange, but all in all its a decent enough tool.

Mixer blades wobble off axis. Not completely satisfied.

Wiha stripping knife excellent product to strip electrical cable. Specially heavy gage cable that requires a sturdier type of knife to remove the stronger jacket that protects the electrical cable.

Upon test crimping a blank connector the right most pin crimp failed to the point of ejecting the pin from the connector. Inspection showed that the pin crimp plate was offset to one side. I removed the plate, flipped it over, and reinstalled it for correct pin / connector alignment. Test blank connectors were crimped correctly. When crimping my cable, the connection repeated failed which points to the quality of the connector blanks. I have used PRO gear in the past, but needed a few cables around the house and was looking for a bargain fix. At $12 its too good to be true. The upside is the tester and the cable housing cutter work fine.

One of the cables  did not work correctly.  No moving parts, so quality control stinks.

Bought this set so that I could use it on Thanksgiving but realized after cutting up my turkey for left overs that the larger knife ended up having ridges on the blade from bending. Not sure why since I was not chopping up the bones of the turkey only the meat. Now I have this knife which I only used once and I am unable to use it again! :-(

Yes, it does tip forward when all 8 knives are inserted, poor design, basically useless.

ordered to replace an old snake.  It was packaged with great care and arrived in one piece.  The problem came that the cables were not labeled correctly.  As we started connecting all of the mics no instruments to the board we were not getting any signal.  Finally we had to just connect all 24 channels to the board and figure out which cable really belonged to #1, #2 and so on.  Was not an easy task but was the only way to use the snake.  Good quality when we pulled the cable across the ceiling but the quality control is poor.  Just be aware of this when relying on the numbering scheme to connect to your sound board.

Excellent tool. Cutter blade slices easily through Quad-core cable. Stripper gives a perfect length dual-strip on RG6 cable. Would be nice if it gave a cleaner strip on the copper wire itself (the reason for giving it 4 stars, not 5,) but that may be due to the brand of cable having the plastic core bound to the copper wire too strongly. (I just used a knife to clean the plastic off.) Overall an excellent tool, though.

The Crimper is solid and makes strong crimps It is limited that it only works with a few specific connectors.  On the stripper changing the insert for the different cables (RG-6 or RG58) still needs adjustments on the cutter that removes only the outer insulation.  In about one use in five the blade that cuts to the center conductor makes a direct short of shield to center conductor.  It actually wraps a strand of the wire shield around the center conductor.

I received the knife and everything looked great until I opened the blade and found it had not been ground past the point of making its shape.  I literally have screwdrivers that have a sharper edge.  I will spend hours working it edge on it.

It works fine, unfortunately the cable sheath is pulling free from the connector and exposing the actual cable. This will ultimately more than likely lead to a complete failure as the integrity is compromised. Have the same issue now with the 6-foot version of this cable. This is a simple design flaw ... an unfortunate one.
