Klein Tools 1001 Electrician's Wire Cutter, Stripper And Crimper

The Klein Tools 1001 is a professional-grade multi-function tool that cuts, strips, crimps and shears bolts. This all-purpose tool is designed for electricians and skilled trades who work with wire, terminals, lugs, splices and fasteners. Whether you're working with insulated or non-insulated terminals or cutting bolts of various sizes, the 1001 consolidates multiple capabilities into a single instrument.

The tool features dual wire cutters—one at the tip and one near the stripping holes—which doubles the utility of the tool and allows you to work more efficiently. Color-coded crimping dies let you identify the correct size at a glance, speeding up your workflow. Integrated looping holes near the tip simplify the process of forming wire loops by hand, a common task in electrical work. A pivot nut allows you to adjust tension for different applications.

Features and Benefits

• Dual Wire Cutters: Two cutting positions—one at the tip and one near the stripping holes—provide flexibility for different cutting tasks.
• Color-Coded Crimping Dies: Easily identify the correct die size for 7–8 mm insulated and non-insulated terminals, lugs and splices.
• Wire Looping Holes: Left and right hand looping holes near the tip simplify creating wire loops on the fly.
• Bolt Shearing: Cleanly cuts bolts in sizes 4–40, 6–32, 8–32, 10–24 and 10–32.
