WHERE TO BUY

Equip your toolbox with the ultimate combination of safety and performance: the nVent GARDNER BENDER GST-55M Circuit Alert Voltage Sensing Wire Stripper. Engineered specifically for professional electricians, contractors, and demanding home improvement applications, this multi-functional hand tool streamlines your workflow by combining testing and wire preparation into a single premium tool. The standout safety feature includes a built-in Volt Detection Module that senses AC voltage, warning you of live electrical current before you even begin cutting or stripping. This protective integration makes it an indispensable asset for any troubleshooting or renovation job. Built for longevity, the tool is constructed with a premium stainless steel, hardened cutting blade featuring an anti-glare black oxidation surface treatment for improved visibility and superior resistance against nicks and corrosion. This versatile hand tool is designed to cut brass, copper, and aluminum wire with ease. The precision-ground stripping stations allow you to strip 10-18 AWG solid wire and 12-20 AWG stranded wire cleanly without damaging the underlying conductors. Need to shorten a device screw? The integrated bolt cutting ports quickly shear 6-32, 8-32, and 10-32 bolts to size without marring the threads. For handling and termination tasks, the tool features a precision ground plier nose that provides a reliable grip for pulling or twisting wires. Specialized wire looping holes allow you to form and loop wire ends perfectly around screw terminals for clean, code-compliant installations. The contoured grip handles ensure a comfortable, high-leverage squeeze that minimizes hand fatigue during long hours on the job site. Fitting perfectly within the Tools and Home Improvement / Power and Hand Tools / Hand Tools / Strippers / Wire Strippers categories, this essential multi-tool brings safety, convenience, and professional accuracy to every wire installation project.
