Wire and Cable Strippers

About Wire and Cable Strippers

Wire strippers and cable strippers are used to strip insulation from underlying wires and to prepare cables for installation. Both industrial hand tools and industrial power tools are available. Manually-powered wire strippers and cable strippers consist of a ratchet mechanism with a set of jaws. These jaws, which serve as upper and lower dies, are free to open when the wire or cable is correctly crimped at the tool’s fully-closed position. By design, these industrial hand tools provide technicians and other personnel with a way to locate, support and hold a terminal or connector in place. Powered wire strippers and cable strippers are also available. These industrial power tools may be battery-powered or use AC or DC power.

There are many different types of wire strippers and cable strippers. For example, scrap wire strippers are designed to separate the wire, metal sheathing, conductor cable, insulation, and jacket for recycling and recovery. Commercial wire strippers may include a dust and fume collection system. Thermal wire stripper uses a heated element to soften wire or cable insulation such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon, rubber, or vinyl for rapid removal. The temperature can be adjusted to remain near the softening point of the insulation, but below its charring or ignition point. Magnetic wire strippers are designed to remove insulation from round, square and rectangular magnet wire. Copper wire strippers, Ethernet cable strippers, and other specialized wire strippers and cable strippers are also available.
