In a recent Dealmonger, we let you know that the big boxes were clearing out their Circuit Alert wire strippers, but it turns out it wasn’t because of slow sales. In fact, the Circuit Alert tools have sold so well, they decided to completely overhaul the product line. Now all Circuit Alert tools come with the same tiny, interchangeable voltage sensor.
Lowe’s has placed the Gardner Bender Circuit Alert wire stripper on clearance. This little gem of a wire stripper packs an AC current detector in the handle. Its clearance price of $12 brings it down to the price range of more frugal Toolmongers such as myself.
Check out your local Lowe’s to see if you can snatch one up before they’re all gone.

Gardner Bender’s Circuit Alert wire strippers help you avoid shocking situations by sensing and alerting you to active voltage before you strip. Just slide the switch to “on,” and as you move the sensor’s handle toward a circuit, the strippers beep and flash if it’s live.
James writes: “This cabler ripper was recommended to me by a guy who spend 15 years doing electrical work for the Navy. I believe his exact words were, ‘You have to get one of these.’ He was right.” (For the non-electricians out there, this tool is used to split open Romex and other large wire.)
