The Cornwell Quality Tools Upfront Cutter/Stripper features a pliers nose for working small nuts and pulling wire. It has precision-ground stripping stations for both solid and stranded wire. The long, curved cutter requires less force to cut and has holes in its jaw for looping wire. It can be locked to protect cutting and stripping edges when stored. Simply return spring and opening stop to prevent spring from becoming disengaged. The handles are longer to offer greater leverage and have an ergonomic design. The tool is made from heat-treated steel and conforms to ASME Standard B107.500-2010. Made in U.S.A.
