Who made these

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008L2JXUM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Who is the manufacturer of these wire strippers/electrician tool? I’ve had this tool for tons of years. They were my favorite tool for stranded wire. Being an electrician for 23 years, I’ve tried every variation. Those made by Klein, Gardner Bender, Channelock and even an offshore pair. These work so smooth for me......So, the bad news. My wife threw these and two other of my electrical tools away in a whirlwind cleaning spree. Looking around I won’t pay the $32ish these are. I’d love to find the OEM and get those. If you have a pair like these that you swear by let me know. Thanks all

Those are made by Imperial/Stride.
They were the OEM for several companies that rebranded them.
They should cost $15-18. These are same as the Craftsman except for the grips.

I think you're crazy about those being better than Kleins strippers but you like what you like..

I would have said the same thing without trying them. The craftsman ones cut and strip soo much better than any other that I’ve had. I’ve tried to tighten up the hinge, but to no avail! Thanks everyone!
