Klein Tools K11095BLK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges does the Klein Tools K11095 Klein-Kurve stripper handle?
The K11095 strips 8-18 AWG solid and 10-20 AWG stranded wire through six precision ground stripping holes. If you are working mostly with 12 and 14 AWG romex and stranded control wire, that range covers it. Anything finer than 20 AWG stranded or larger than 8 AWG solid is outside what this tool is ground for.
2) Can the Klein K11095 cut 6-32 and 8-32 screws?
Yes. The K11095 has screw shearing holes sized for 6-32 and 8-32 bolts, so you can trim device screws to length when mounting outlets and switches in a box without reaching for a hacksaw.
3) What is the difference between the Klein K11095 and K11095BLK?
Only the finish. K11095 is the standard finish and K11095BLK is the Blackout version. Stripping ranges, cutting blades, looping holes and screw shear holes are the same tool.
4) Will this wire stripper fit into a crowded panel or junction box?
That is what the narrower head geometry on the Klein-Kurve K11095 is for. The tool is 7.25 inches long, 2.33 inches wide and 0.61 inches thick, so the head reaches into tight panel gutters and device boxes where a bulkier stripper will not sit flat.
5) Can I use this stripper on thermostat and low voltage control wire?
Yes, within the gauge range. Thermostat cable and most control conductors fall inside the 10-20 AWG stranded and 8-18 AWG solid range the K11095 strips, so HVAC control wire, automation panel wiring and low voltage communication cable prep are all in scope.
6) Does the Klein K11095 make terminal loops, or do I need a separate looping tool?
No separate tool needed. The K11095 has dual wire looping holes built into the jaw for forming loops to land under screw terminals on receptacles and switches.
7) Does this Klein stripper spring open by itself, and does it lock closed for a pouch?
Both. A coil spring gives the K11095 self-opening action so you are not reopening the handles between strips, and an integrated lock holds it shut for pouch or bag storage. The updated lock tucks out of the way in use.
