Klein Tools 1009 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges does the Klein Tools 1009 wire stripper handle?
The Klein-Kurve 1009 strips and cuts 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded wire. Note the difference between the two: stranded conductors sit in different holes than solid of the same gauge, so a 10 AWG stranded conductor is outside what this tool strips. For crimping it covers 10-22 AWG insulated and non-insulated terminals.
2) Can I strip THHN 12 and 14 AWG branch circuit wire with the Klein 1009?
Yes. Standard 12 and 14 AWG building wire, solid or stranded, falls inside the 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded range of the 1009. That covers the bulk of residential and commercial branch circuit work in device boxes and panels.
3) Do I still need a separate crimper if I buy the Klein 1009 stripper?
Not for common terminal work. The 1009 crimps insulated and non-insulated terminals from 10 through 22 AWG, cuts wire with shear-type blades, and shears 6-32 and 8-32 screws, all in one 7.75 inch tool. Larger lugs or specialty connectors outside 10-22 AWG still need a dedicated crimper.
4) Will this Klein stripper cut device-mounting screws to length?
It will, at two sizes: 6-32 and 8-32. Those are the thread sizes used for receptacle and switch mounting screws and most box screws, so you can shorten a long screw in the box instead of walking back for a shorter one. Other thread sizes are outside what the shearing holes accept.
5) Is the Klein-Kurve 1009 small enough to work inside a crowded panel or control cabinet?
It is a compact tool: 7.75 inches (19.7 cm) overall, 2.56 inches wide, 0.65 inches thick, and 0.34 lbs. The long-nose tip is the reason people pick this one for panel and control cabinet work, since it reaches into tight gutter space to grab, pull, and bend small conductors that a plain stripper body cannot reach.
6) Long-nose stripper or a standard wire stripper, which should an electrician carry?
Pick the long-nose version, like the Klein-Kurve 1009, when the job involves forming loops on device terminals, fishing small conductors, and working in confined boxes, because the tapered tip does the pliers work as well as the stripping. A standard stripper body is fine for bench work and repetitive cut-and-strip on larger conductors, but it will not grab and bend a 20 AWG control lead. The 1009 covers 10-20 AWG solid and 12-22 AWG stranded, so heavier feeder conductors still call for a different tool.
7) Is the Klein 1009 suitable for low-voltage control, thermostat, and data wiring?
Yes, down to 22 AWG stranded. That takes in HVAC thermostat cable, control panel leads, and similar small-gauge work, and the crimp dies go to 22 AWG for the matching terminals. For conductors finer than 22 AWG you need a stripper rated lower.
8) What is the Klein Tools part number for the gray and yellow Klein-Kurve long-nose stripper?
Order it as Klein Tools 1009. The handles are double-dipped in gray and yellow, which is the quickest way to tell it apart on a bench full of Klein pliers.
