Milwaukee vs Klein Utility Knife — Only One Stays in My Pocket

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Both knives claim to have wire stripping capabilities. The Milwaukee knife allows for easy wire stripping by placing the wire in a designated area of the blade and pulling. The presenter successfully strips a solid wire using the Milwaukee. The Klein Tools knife also has a wire stripper, but the presenter notes difficulty in bending the wire to create a loop for attachment, suggesting less effective design for this task.

Goal: Compare the effectiveness of integrated wire stripping features

Same with pulling them out. Just get some nice leverage on there. the clin. You can put this bit in as well. This comes out and just throw this in there as well. But oh locks it right in at 90. Let's move on. Both of these knives have ability to strip wire on them right in the blade. So, let's install an outlet. Grab your wire. stripped. The cool thing about the Milwaukee is you can actually take the belt clip here, throw your wire in that belt clip, like so. Take out your flat tip that Milwaukee provides. Throw that loop right on there like so. Take your flat tip. You're good to go. Client's got the same thing. Wire stripper. Strip that wire back on there. >> [snorts] >> There's really no good way to bend this wire. I mean, you could throw it in the belt clip like the last one. It's not going to. It's not going to create that loop like the last one did, like Milwaukee did.
