The Gardner Bender GS-40 is a compact 5-inch wire stripper and looper designed for electricians, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who work with household wiring, automotive repairs, and electrical panel work. This dual-function hand tool strips insulation from copper and aluminum wire—whether solid or stranded—and forms loops for terminal connections and grounding, eliminating the need to carry multiple specialized tools to the job site.
Whether you’re preparing residential circuits, working in confined panel spaces, or handling routine maintenance tasks, the GS-40 combines portability with reliable performance. Rotate the cam wheel adjustment to select the correct wire size from 10 to 24 AWG, ensuring clean insulation removal. Integrated looping holes in the jaw sides speed up terminal preparation and improve workflow efficiency.
