Klein Tools 80013 Wire Stripper/Ratcheting Crimper, Electrical Crimping Tool Kit with Automatic

The Klein Tools 80013 Wire Stripper and Ratcheting Crimper Kit brings two essential electrical hand tools together in one package. Designed for tradesmen tackling wiring projects, it provides dedicated tools for wire preparation and secure terminal connections.

The included 11061 self-adjusting wire stripper and cutter handles 10-20 AWG solid wire, 12-22 AWG stranded wire, and both 12/2 and 14/2 Romex along with other nonmetallic sheathed cables. An integrated adjustable stopper lets you set and maintain a consistent core strip length across repeated cuts.

For terminations, the 3005CR ratcheting crimper uses an adjustable compound action design that adds mechanical leverage to each squeeze. It features three color-coded cavities to fit 22-16 AWG red, 16-14 AWG blue, and 12-10 AWG yellow insulated terminals on stranded copper wire.

Keep in mind that the crimping tool is built strictly for insulated terminals and stranded copper wire, so it will not accommodate non-insulated connectors or solid wire crimping tasks.

Verdict: This two-piece set is an ideal choice for electricians and installers who regularly cut, strip, and terminate insulated connectors on standard copper and Romex wiring.

• Piece Count: 2 pieces
• Ratcheting Crimper Model: Cat. No. 3005CR
• Wire Stripper Model: Cat. No. 11061
• Crimper Wire Compatibility: 10-22 AWG stranded copper
• Crimping Cavities: 22-16 AWG (Red), 16-14 AWG (Blue), 12-10 AWG (Yellow)
• Stripper Wire Compatibility: 10-20 AWG solid, 12-22 AWG stranded
• Cable Compatibility: 12/2 and 14/2 Romex, Type NM sheathed cable

A great fit if you:

• Work frequently with 10-22 AWG stranded copper wire and insulated terminals
• Need to strip 12/2 or 14/2 Romex and nonmetallic sheathed cable
• Want an adjustable strip stopper for uniform stripping lengths
• Prefer compound ratcheting action for more mechanical crimping leverage

Consider something else if you:

• Need to crimp non-insulated terminals
• Primarily crimp solid wire instead of stranded copper wire

What wire types can the stripper handle?
The 11061 self-adjusting stripper works on 10-20 AWG solid wire, 12-22 AWG stranded wire, and 12/2 and 14/2 Romex or other nonmetallic sheathed cable.

Can the crimper be used on non-insulated connectors?
No, the 3005CR ratcheting crimper is designed to crimp only insulated terminals onto 10-22 AWG stranded copper wire.

How are the crimping sizes organized on the tool?
The tool has three built-in cavities: 22-16 AWG (Red), 16-14 AWG (Blue), and 12-10 AWG (Yellow).
