IRWINVISE-GRIP Wire Stripper, Self-Adjusting, 8-Inch (2078300), Blue/Yellow

Q: Does it have blade height adjustment? I could not get it to strip a 12 gauge wire.

There is a tension adjustment, which helps but I typically leave mine on the most firm setting. With larger wires like 10 or 12ga, I find I need to add a pressure to the top of the jaws for a firm enough grip. Typically I am already holding the wire with my off hand and it's now second nature. Where this tool really excellent is stripping 18-24ga multi-conductor cables. You can strip the outer coating and multiple inner strands at once with the same tool. The only thing I roll off the tension for is solid bell or thermostat wire. The stripping end will dig into the solid copper and the other end will bunch the coating up away from the wire end.

Q: Will this work for speaker wire?

I haven't had any luck with it on Genesis Speaker wires in 16 and 14 gauge. Cat 5e and Cat6 STP and UTP it does well stripping the jacket but watch for nicks on UTP and peal back.

Q: Will this truly strip all kinds of wires, like breadboard jumper wires?

Definitely: breadboard jumper wires are my primary use.

Q: How well do these strip 12 gauge romex (individual conductors, of course)? That would be main use for these; already have simple strippers.

This fellow then easily strips 10 gauge wire at about 2:00 minutes withthis very vice grip tool. He makes it look so easy. It is not a commercial just a guy rewiring his portable solar panel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XrsWv6enw&list=PLqVZGHwrUlvGV22O6vEEfTmhLLsNBVbRI&index=2#t=142.377521
