Default help me find these strippers or similar
I had these strippers for 6 years, they were amazing. I worked in industry the entire time, and used that on average 4-5 times daily, and they held up. I loved the grip and the insulated center. If anyone can help me find these or similar, i will be eternally grateful!

I'd just go ahead and order them. (period)

Talk to a sales rep. if the on line order fails.

I went round and round with Sears with an off brand order. I believe that have some real bad computer order problems. On-line had it it not in stock after one goes through the order process...

I considered the order canceled.

My order showed up two days later at the house, I had asked that it be delievered to a local store.

Thank you all I ordered 3 pr of the ideal ones to be sure I have them. The important part is the insulated hinge gives you good leverage for stripping live wire.

They all say that because they have to. The only rated live ones are the kind that look like pliers and you pull on them. I used them for 6 years and never had a problem till the hinge seized up

Yeah it's discontinued and replaced with another model. It's just like the ideal ones we're. This is a great job. Great benefits and free beer, and an employee base that actually cares about their job
