Snap-on announced its Soft Grip Wire Stripper (PWCS9), a cold-forged multi-purpose wire stripper. Its special blend of alloy steel produces a tool that is strong and durable, the company added.
The soft grip wire stripper’s enclosed spring keeps the stripper open and ready to use and protects it from exposed dirt and grit that can cause malfunction. Snap-on said that with its induction hardened surface, the wire stripper will strip stranded wire from AWG20 to AWG10 and solid wire from 18 up to eight.
The PWCS9 also crimps insulated and non-insulated terminals, has a set of shears, 6-32 and 8-32 bolt cutters and a pair of wire looping holes and a comfortable bi-mold soft grip handle to reduce hand fatigue, according to Snap-on. In addition, the stripper lock button is low profile and conveniently located out of the way.
