The Klein Tools 1025 is a long-nose wire stripper designed for professional electrical work. It strips 10–20 AWG solid wire and 12–22 AWG stranded wire, crimps terminals, cuts wire, and shears machine screws to length in 4-40, 5-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32, and 10-24 sizes. It is made in the USA.
The precision-sized stripping holes remove insulation without nicking the copper, which matters when a nicked strand snaps later under vibration or heat. The built-in crimp station handles insulated and non-insulated terminals, so an electrician can land a ring terminal without switching tools. The screw-shearing holes cut machine screws to the exact length the box or fixture calls for, without deforming the threads.
This tool is aimed at residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work — switches, receptacles, fixtures, panel terminations, and any job that combines wire prep with machine-screw fitting.
Klein Tools manufactures the 1025 in the USA and has supplied the electrical trade since 1857.
