Irwin 2078309 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauge range does the Irwin 2078309 wire stripper handle?
The Irwin 2078309 strips and cuts 10-22 AWG, which covers the wire an electrician handles on most branch circuits and device terminations, from 10 AWG runs down through 22 AWG control and low-voltage conductors. If you need to strip 8 AWG or larger feeders, you need a heavier dedicated stripper, not this 8-inch multi-tool.
2) Can I crimp both insulated and non-insulated terminals with one tool?
Yes. The 2078309 Vise-Grip multi-tool has crimping dies for insulated and non-insulated terminals, so you are not switching tools between butt splices, ring and fork terminals of either type. It also strips, cuts wire, and cuts bolts to size, so one tool covers the terminating sequence.
3) Will this strip and crimp, or do I still need separate pliers to loop wire onto screw terminals?
No separate pliers needed for looping. The tool has a pliers-style nose for pulling and forming loops on wire, which is what you want when you are landing conductors under screw terminals on receptacles and switches. Between that nose, the strip/cut jaws and the crimp dies, it replaces three tools in the pouch.
4) Does the bolt cutter on this tool ruin the thread?
It is built to leave a clean lead thread. The 2078309 cuts bolts to size and leaves a usable lead thread, so the nut still starts by hand after the cut, which matters when you are trimming machine screws down in a panel or on a device box.
5) Does the Irwin 2078309 meet ANSI requirements for a spec submittal?
The tool is stated to meet or exceed all ANSI standards, which is usually what a facilities or MRO buyer needs on the line item for hand tools. It is a non-energy using hand tool, no battery or charger involved, and it is made in Taiwan.
6) Is this Irwin stripper good for all-day panel work or just occasional use?
Built for repeated professional use. The cutting edge is induction hardened so it holds its edge through repeated stripping and cutting cycles, and the ProTouch grips are there to cut hand fatigue over a full day of terminations. It is the same tool Irwin positions for residential and commercial wiring, panel and device terminations, and general electrical repair.
7) What is the correct Irwin part number to reorder this 8-inch wire stripper and crimper?
Order Irwin manufacturer part number 2078309, the Vise-Grip Multi-Tool Wire Stripper and Crimper in the 8-inch size. That single model number is the whole offering, there are no finish or size options to specify, so standardizing a crew or a stockroom on it is one line item.
8) Does this come with a Prop 65 warning?
No Prop 65 generic warning applies to the Irwin 2078309 multi-tool, which matters if you are shipping tool kits into California facilities and have to document it.
