Cable Strippers

Cable stripping tools help prepare conductors and remove cable coverings before connection work. Engineering Supplies offers automatic stripping pliers, a sheath ripper and a Utilux wire stripper for different preparation tasks.

First, identify whether you need to remove an outer sheath or strip an individual wire. Then match the tool to the cable construction and size.

Cable stripping tools in this range

• WIHA automatic stripping pliers with a self-adjusting cutting edge in a replaceable cassette.
• RIPPER for cable sheath removal.
• Utilux UT-106 for coaxial and single-conductor wire stripping.

Choose for the cable and task

The WIHA model also includes a wire cutter for copper and aluminium conductors. Check the cutting and stripping capacities separately when selecting this tool.

The UT-106 has a listed length of 125mm. However, overall tool length does not establish the cable size it can strip, so confirm the required capacity for your cable.

Next, check the insulation or sheath type and the strip length needed for the connection. Also, consider blade condition and access around the cable. Finally, use the full model reference when requesting replacement parts or a matching tool.
