Klein Tools 1004 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes will the Klein Tools 1004 wire stripper handle, solid and stranded?
The Klein 1004 strips and cuts 12-26 AWG solid and 14-28 AWG stranded wire. That covers standard 12 and 14 AWG branch circuit conductors down through low-voltage control, thermostat, and data wire. If you regularly pull 10 AWG or larger, this one won't take it and you need a larger-capacity stripper.
2) Will a Klein 1004 strip 18 AWG thermostat and HVAC control wire?
Yes. 18 AWG falls inside the 12-26 AWG solid and 14-28 AWG stranded range, so thermostat wire, HVAC control conductors, and similar low-voltage runs strip cleanly. The same tool still handles 14 and 12 AWG line-voltage conductors, so an HVAC tech isn't carrying two strippers.
3) What does the adjustable slide stop on the Klein 1004 actually do?
It sets a repeatable strip length. The stop slides along the tool and locks with a set screw, so every conductor comes off at the same length, which is what you want when you're terminating a panel or a control board with dozens of identical landings. Set it once at the start of the run and stop measuring.
4) Can I make wire loops for screw terminals with this stripper, or do I need separate pliers?
There is an integrated looping hole in the 1004, so you can form the hook for a screw terminal on a device or a breaker without switching to needle-nose. For a receptacle-and-switch trim-out that means stripping, cutting, and looping all happen in one tool.
5) Is the Klein 1004 spring loaded so it opens itself between strips?
It has a hold-open spring, so the jaws reopen on their own after each cut or strip. On a long day of repetitive terminations that removes the reset motion from every cycle and cuts hand fatigue. Note there is no locking latch mentioned, so it rides open in the pouch.
6) We buy tools for a whole crew. Is this Klein stripper easy to spot in a bag and is it made in the USA?
The handle is yellow, which is the practical reason to standardize on it across a crew: a 5 inch tool disappears in a black pouch, a yellow one doesn't. Klein lists the 1004 as made in the USA. For fleet ordering, specify Klein part number 1004.
