Klein Tools 1010 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Klein 1010 strip 12 AWG solid THHN for outlet and switch work?
Yes. The 1010 strips 10-20 AWG solid, so 12 AWG solid branch circuit conductors are inside its range, along with 14 AWG. On stranded wire it covers 12-22 AWG. The strippers and cutters sit ahead of the pivot, so you can reach into a crowded device box and strip without pulling the conductor out to the front of the opening.
2) Can one tool crimp insulated and non-insulated terminals, or do I need two crimpers?
One tool. The Klein 1010 crimps 10-22 AWG insulated terminals, non-insulated terminals, and 7-8 mm ignition terminals. That covers the butt splices, ring and spade terminals a service tech carries for control and low-voltage work, plus automotive ignition terminals, without swapping to a dedicated crimper.
3) Does the Klein 1010 cut a 6-32 device screw off flush without wrecking the threads?
It shears 6-32 clean, along with 4-40, 5-40, 8-32, 10-32 and 10-24. Those are the sizes you meet on device and cover screws (6-32) and on fixture and box mounting (8-32, 10-24, 10-32), and the screw shear leaves the thread startable so the screw still takes a nut after cutting.
4) What will the Klein 1010 not handle, and what should I use instead?
Anything heavier than 10 AWG is out of range. The 1010 strips and cuts down to 10 AWG solid and crimps to 10 AWG, so 8 AWG and larger feeders, service conductors and heavy lugs need a dedicated cable cutter and a lug crimper. It also stops at 20 AWG on solid wire, so very fine solid conductors are better handled by a stripper made for them. For 22 AWG stranded control and signal wire the 1010 is fine.
5) Is a long nose multi-tool the right pick, or should an electrician carry a dedicated wire stripper?
Pick the 1010 when you want one tool on the belt doing four jobs: stripping, cutting, crimping and gripping. The long, narrow serrated jaws let you pull, loop and bend conductors in a panel or a packed junction box, which a plain stripper cannot do at all. A dedicated stripper is faster when you are stripping hundreds of the same gauge all day and never need pliers. For service calls, troubleshooting and terminal work, the multi-tool wins because it eliminates the swap.
6) Can I use the Klein 1010 on automotive and low-voltage control wiring, not just building power?
Yes, and the crimp range is why. The 7-8 mm ignition terminal crimp is an automotive feature, and the 22 AWG bottom end on both stripping and crimping covers thermostat wire, HVAC control conductors and telecom pairs. Building branch circuit work at 12 and 14 AWG sits at the other end of the same range, so a maintenance tech running a mixed facility can carry the one tool.
7) Are the handles insulated for live work on the Klein 1010?
The 1010 has plastic-covered cushioned handles in blue for grip and comfort over a long day. Treat them as comfort grips, not as protection for energized work. If you are working on live conductors you need a tool rated and marked for insulated use, so de-energize and verify before using the 1010.
8) Is the Klein 1010 made in the USA?
Yes, the 1010 long nose multi-tool is made in the USA by Klein Tools. That matters on public jobs and institutional purchasing where domestic sourcing is written into the buy.
9) Which model number do I order for the Klein long nose multi-tool wire stripper?
Order Klein Tools 1010. That is the manufacturer part number and there is one configuration, so there is no finish, handing or size choice to make on the order form.
