Klein Tools 21051B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein 21051B blades fit my cable stripper, and which catalog numbers do they work with?
The 21051B replacement blade set fits Klein's large cable strippers, Cat. Nos. 21050 and 21051, and for the 21051 only units purchased before October 2020. If your stripper was bought after that date, these are not the correct blades for it.
2) What cable sizes can I strip with the Klein 21051B blades?
They cut insulation on cable from 250 MCM to 2/0 and 350 to 750 MCM. If the conductors on your job fall outside those ranges, this blade set is the wrong tool.
3) Will these blades work on THHN and MTW building wire, or only on specific brands of cable?
The blades are ground to remove insulation on MTW, THHN and THWN-2 cable, and Klein lists them as working with cable from CME Wire and Cable, Encore Wire, United Copper Industries and Southwire.
4) Can I use a Klein large cable stripper with these blades on energized conductors?
No. The tool these blades go into is not insulated. Plastic-dipped or slip-on plastic handles are not protection against electrical shock, so de-energize before stripping, and wear approved eye protection while cutting.
5) Does the Klein 21051B blade kit include mounting screws, or do I need to reuse the old ones?
Screws come in the kit along with the blades, so you are not reusing worn fasteners when you swap the cutting edges.
6) Why replace the blades instead of just using a knife on large feeder cable?
Stripping 250 MCM to 750 MCM insulation with a knife risks nicking the conductor and takes longer. Running fresh blades in a Klein large cable stripper is quicker, safer and more precise than a knife, which is why electricians and MRO crews keep a spare 21051B set on hand rather than letting dull blades push them back to a utility knife.
7) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the Klein large cable stripper replacement blades?
Klein Tools part number 21051B. One kit covers the blade-and-screw set for the large cable strippers, so order by that number when restocking consumables for a crew.
8) What are the Klein 21051B replacement blades made of, and how long do they last?
The blades are powder metal, precision ground for long service life. They are a wear part: once the edge dulls or chips, swapping in a fresh set restores a clean strip instead of tearing insulation.
9) How big is the Klein 21051B blade pack, and is it small enough to keep in a pouch?
Overall it measures 4 in (10.2 cm) by 2 in (5.1 cm) by 0.172 in (0.4 cm) and weighs about 0.1 lbs as shipped, so a spare set rides easily in a tool pouch or van bin.
