Are you referring to the tool that strips wire and shears screws too? 8-)

I've had one of those since the 1970s. I don't know what brand it is,

Klein makes this one:

It's a bit like mine, and I like the yellow markings!

Like all multi-tools, each function is a compromise. If that is what
you want, fine by me. A decent "multi-tool", BUT! ....the Ideal
T-Strippers are better wire strippers.

nb

I like it! They even have a model for stranded wire. How are the
looping holes used?


The looping holes are used for bending a "U" shape in the end of solid wire like #14 #12 #10 so it will fit under the screw on outlets and switches. 8-)
