Meisei has been making the world’s finest thermal wire strippers (including the Meisei HOTweezers®) for over 50 years.

Originally developed by Meisei Corporation in 1974, HOTweezers® were designed to provide a lightweight, ergonomic tool that was durable, easy-to-use and provided unparalleled performance in wire and cable stripping.

Users immediately recognized HOTweezers’® superior quality and engineering. The tool quickly became the standard by which all other thermal wire stripping solutions were measured.

In 2018 Meisei Corporation transitioned its operations to Meisei Tools LLC in a friendly acquisition. While the company’s name has changed, Meisei’s HOTweezers® and HOTnife™ are still made by the same dedicated craftsmen who have been manufacturing and perfecting the highest quality wire stripping tools for over 50 years.

Each unit is hand-crafted, tested and shipped from Meisei’s factory, located in Thousand Oaks, California just north of Los Angeles.
