Klein Tools 11073 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Klein Tools 11073 come with the wire stripper tool, or is it blades only?
Blades only. The 11073 is a replacement blade set for a wire stripper, and the stripper tool itself is not included. If you don't already have the stripper body in hand, you need to buy the tool separately.
2) What wire sizes do the Klein 11073 replacement blades strip?
The 11073 blades strip 8 to 22 AWG. That covers typical branch-circuit and device wiring (12 and 14 AWG) on the heavy end and low-voltage, control, and thermostat conductors down at 18 to 22 AWG, so one blade set handles most of what an electrician cuts in a day.
3) Are the Klein 11073 blades safe to use on live circuits?
No. The 11073 blades are not insulated, and Klein states plainly that plastic-dipped or slip-on plastic handles on the host tool are not intended for protection against electrical shock. De-energize the circuit before stripping, and wear approved eye protection. If you need to work energized, you need a tool rated and tested for insulated use, not this blade set.
4) What are the Klein 11073 blades made of, and will they hold an edge?
They're machined from 1080 high carbon steel, the same class of steel used for cutting edges that need to stay sharp under repeated stripping. Klein also applies a rust preventative to the blades so they don't corrode sitting in a pouch or a damp truck box.
5) What part number do I order for Klein wire stripper replacement blades covering 8 to 22 AWG?
Order Klein Tools 11073. That is the manufacturer part number for the 8 to 22 AWG replacement blade set, and it's the number to quote on a purchase order so you don't end up with a blade for a different AWG range.
6) How big is the Klein 11073 blade set, and how much does it weigh?
Each blade is small: 1.575 inches (4 cm) overall length, 0.9 inch (2.3 cm) width, and 0.225 inch (0.6 cm) height, at about 0.01 lbs. Useful to know if you're stocking spares in a parts bin or sending them out with a service tech, since they take almost no room in a tool pouch.
7) Is it worth re-blading a wire stripper instead of replacing the whole tool?
For an MRO crib or a shop standardizing on one stripper, yes, as long as the stripper body and springs are sound. Replacing just the 1080 high carbon steel blades restores the cutting edge for a fraction of the bulk and paperwork of a new tool, and spares at 0.01 lbs each are easy to stock in quantity for multiple techs. Replace the tool instead if the frame or pivot is worn, since new blades won't fix alignment.
