Looking for electrician multitool
on: September 09, 2018, 08:08:49 PM
Hey everyone curious if anyone is selling a bear n sons or toolzall with the wire stripper head. They seem very sparse online, I recently purchased a rebar and would like something with quality strippers. Thanks.

I had the leatherman squirt e4 for years (until I stupidly sold It) which was an excellent wire stripper. Have you thought about that as a partner to your Rebar?

I wanted the e4 but now it's the es4 and changed a little but not sure if it's to small to be a good stripper

There's a wire stripper attachment for the SOG Powerlock, which goes from 24 to 12... but I don't know if that's AWG, SWG, or whatever other system. We work on mm2 over here, which is totally different.

Aside from the Bear and Sons, and the ES4, I don't really know of many others. Gerber did a couple, but they were very expensive, and didn't seem to stay in their line up very long.

  • Apparently it is possible to have too many tools;)

Paladin (made by SOG) had some MTs with wire strippers built into the pliers, but these are also hard to find (and usually rather expensive).

The SOG tool component for wire stripping doesn't have a very good reputation as a wire stripper.

I've seen some knock-offs of the Bear & Son Electrician MT, but these are also rare.

Sorry I can't help much :(


PS  It might help if you stated your location (international postage can get expensive these days).

The King Innovations L Tool is another option.

I've had an ES4 in my EDC for a couple years now. As a stripper with a knife and file its great... Shame they changed the Philips driver from 3d to 2d and we awl know how useless squirt series scissors are

I really like my ES4 and would replace it in a heart beat if it walked off. It pairs well with the midnite manager on my keys
