Klein Tools 11063W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges does the Klein Katapult 11063W strip and cut?
The Katapult 11063W handles 8-20 AWG solid and 10-22 AWG stranded wire. That covers the usual residential and commercial branch circuit range (12 and 14 AWG solid romex conductors) right down to 20 or 22 AWG control and low-voltage conductors. If you are working 6 AWG feeders or larger, this is not the tool for it.
2) Can I strip stranded THHN with the Katapult, or is it solid wire only?
Both. Solid is covered from 8 through 20 AWG and stranded from 10 through 22 AWG, using precision machined stripping holes that pull the insulation without nicking the conductor. Note the stranded range starts at 10 AWG, so 8 AWG stranded falls outside what the holes are cut for.
3) How much insulation can this Klein stripper take off in one pull?
Up to 1 inch of insulation in a single step. The compound action means one squeeze grips the wire and strips it, and a tension loaded wire-grip holds the cable without crushing it so the conductor geometry stays intact. For panel work and device terminations where you want a consistent 3/4 inch strip length, that is a single motion per conductor.
4) Do I need a separate cutter, or does the Katapult cut wire too?
It strips and cuts across the same range: 8-20 AWG solid and 10-22 AWG stranded. For a stocking order, that means one tool covers strip and cut for typical branch wiring, though most electricians still carry side cutters or linesman pliers for heavier conductors and screw shanks.
5) What is the exact Klein part number to order for the Katapult stripper?
Order Klein Tools 11063W. That is the Katapult wire stripper and cutter for solid and stranded wire, cast alloy body, 6.594 inch overall length. There is a single model configuration, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
6) Is the Katapult 11063W suitable for low-voltage and control panel wiring?
Down to 22 AWG stranded and 20 AWG solid, yes, which covers most control, telecom, and thermostat conductors. Klein lists control panel assembly and telecommunications wiring among its applications. Anything finer than 22 AWG, such as fine instrumentation leads, needs a dedicated small-gauge stripper.
7) Will this wire stripper hold up in a damp or industrial environment?
The chassis is cast alloy with a heavy-duty Ecoat finish, which is what gives it corrosion resistance on outdoor service work, plant maintenance, and jobs where tools live in a wet van. The Ecoat is on the body, not the cutting edges, so wipe and oil the jaws like any other hand tool.
8) Does the Klein Katapult have a spring return so it opens on its own?
Yes, it has a hold open spring, so the jaws reset after each strip and you can run conductor after conductor one-handed while your other hand manages the cable. Handles are blue and black.
