I used it to strip a variety of thin wires (mostly 16-22 gauge), which it did well. I have not used it to cut bolts. <br /> <br />The main drawback of this wire stripper vs. more expensive ones is that it doesn't have a spring that opens the pliers for you. So every time you want to strip a wire, you have to manually open the pliers before you can use it. I own another wire cutter that is actually spring-loaded, and let me tell you -- it's far easier to work with that. If you do a lot of wire stripping, you'll want to get something other than this tool. This is a basic wire stripper with no fancy features, but it does the job it was designed to do.
