Cable Wire Stripper 8"

A cable wire stripper is a specialized tool used to cleanly slice and remove the protective outer jacket or plastic insulation from electrical and communication wires, exposing the conductive metal core without causing any nicks or damage

Beyond basic stripping, modern multifunction wire strippers are equipped with several highly useful features to aid in electrical work:

Cable Cutting: Many strippers feature built-in blades near the hinge to snip excess wire or trim cables to the desired length

Looping & Bending: The small holes or notches near the tips allow you to effortlessly bend wires into terminal loops (or J-hooks) for screws on outlets and light switches

Bolt Shearing: Integrated threaded holes (commonly 6-32 and 8-32) are designed to safely shear bolts or screws without damaging the threads, effectively trimming them to custom lengths

Crimping: Many multi-purpose strippers include built-in crimping dies to secure connectors (like splices and spade terminals) onto the exposed wire.

Cable Slitting/Ring: Specialized strippers for coaxial or thick data cables can "ring" or longitudinally slit the outer jacket for easy removal without harming the internal shielding
