Klein Tools 11055GLW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Klein Tools 11055 Klein-Kurve wire stripper handle?
The 11055 strips 10-18 AWG solid copper and 12-20 AWG stranded copper. The two ranges differ because stranded conductor of a given gauge has a larger outside diameter than solid, so the holes are marked separately. Anything heavier than 10 AWG solid needs a different stripper.
2) What is the difference between the Klein 11055, 11055GLW, 11055-INS and 11055RINS?
Same stripping tool, four builds. 11055 is the standard version. 11055GLW is the high-visibility handle. 11055-INS and 11055RINS are the insulated-handle versions. Pick the insulated builds if your work rules call for insulated hand tools, the GLW if tools go missing on dark jobsites, the plain 11055 otherwise.
3) Can this Klein wire stripper cut 6-32 and 8-32 machine screws?
Yes. The shear-type blades cleanly shear 6-32 and 8-32 screws, which is what you want when a device screw is too long for a shallow box. Same blades cut copper wire.
4) Does the Klein 11055 strip aluminum wire?
No. The stripping holes are ground for copper conductors, 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded. For aluminum branch or service conductors use a stripper rated for aluminum.
5) Can I make pigtail loops for screw terminals with this tool?
Yes. The 11055 has integrated wire looping holes for forming terminal loops, plus a serrated nose for gripping, bending and pulling conductors, so you can strip and loop for a screw terminal without switching to pliers.
6) Is this Klein stripper self-opening?
It is. A coil spring reopens the handles after each squeeze, which matters on repetitive work like terminating a panel or a run of devices. Handles are double-dipped comfort grips with a curved shape.
7) Is the Klein 11055 made in the USA?
Yes, the 11055 Klein-Kurve wire stripper/cutter is US made, which matters if your project carries a domestic-content requirement on tooling purchases.
