Overview
A service panel or a junction box on a ladder is where this Klein electrician's knife earns its pocket space. It folds a locking sheepsfoot blade, a two-angle bit driver, a wire-stripping notch and a wire bending hole into one orange handle.
Carrying one tool instead of a knife, a screwdriver and a stripper is the reason electricians reach for it. The stripping notch covers only common sizes, and blade length is not stated.
Who it's for
Electricians and DIY homeowners doing quick device swaps get the main hand tools in one fold. People who strip many gauges all day still need a dedicated stripper.
Pros and cons
- Sheepsfoot tip resists accidental punctures
- Driver locks at two angles
- Removable double-ended bit
- Wire bending hole
- Blade length not listed
- Stripping notch fits few gauges
Performance notes
A sheepsfoot blade has a blunt spine tip, which makes it safer for scoring sheathing near live parts. The driver's two locking positions let it act as a straight driver or a T-handle for more torque.
