The Stanley 130 mm Compact Wire Stripping Tool is a simple, no‑nonsense hand tool that gets right to the job of stripping insulation and prepping wires without fuss. Built to the specs pros expect, it fits comfortably in your hand and doesn’t hog space in a pouch or pocket — that matters when you’re lugging gear from site to site.

What really stands out is the 130 mm overall length — short enough to keep precise control, long enough to handle everyday electrical wiring tasks with confidence, from speaker cables to appliance wiring. Sure, it’s basic, but that’s exactly why a lot of us keep one tucked in the toolbox.

Key Features:

• Precision Stripping Notches - Cuts insulation cleanly without nicking the conductor for tidy, reliable connections.
• Compact 130 mm Size - Keeps the tool easy to manoeuvre in tight spots and easy to carry in a pouch.
• Integrated Strip Guide - Helps you strip to the same length every time — saves time when you’ve got a stack of wires to prep.
• Hardened Steel Edges - Meant to stay sharp longer under regular use so you don’t have to baby it.
• Ergonomic Non‑Slip Handles - Gives you a secure grip even when your hands are sweaty or greasy.

Applications

This tool is tailor‑made for everyday electrical work — from pulling new cable through a panel to prepping speaker wire under a desk — and the compact stripping capability makes it handy for maintenance, installations, and on‑the‑fly fixes around workshops, homes, or construction sites. It doesn’t grapple with heavy‑gauge cable, but for standard 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² house wiring and electronics, it’s right in its element.

Why Choose This Model

Here’s the thing — you don’t need a fancy multi‑tool if what you want is dependable wire prep. The Stanley 130 mm wire stripper does exactly one job, but it does it cleanly and consistently. It’s the kind of tool you reach for because you already know how it feels and how it performs, day in and day out.
