The ROMEX BOXJaw is Southwire’s purpose-built Romex stripper — they designed the tool specifically for their own non-metallic sheathed cable, so the stripping pockets are matched to the exact dimensions of 12/2 and 14/2 Romex. One squeeze strips the outer jacket cleanly, without scoring the individual conductors underneath, which is the fault line that makes cheap strippers dangerous.
Beyond the Romex pockets, the BOXJaw includes conventional wire stripping holes for 10 to 18 AWG, a shear cutter at the base for clean conductor trim, and a looping hole for hooking wire around terminal screws. The cushioned grip is sized to fit in a tool pouch without the jaw catching on other tools.
Southwire is headquartered in Carrollton, Georgia, where the company has been producing wire, cable, and electrical products since 1950. As the largest American wire manufacturer, they understand Romex better than anyone — and that shows up in the way this tool cuts.
