Applications

Wire strippers are a hand-held tool designed to remove insulation or outer sheath from electrical wires. Other tools may be used to achieve this end, such as pliers or knives, but this purpose-built tool ensures maximum efficiency and safety. Wire strippers create a neat and tidy cut to reveal wires, ready to be soldered or have a connector attached. There are various types available from stripping the cable to cutting copper and conduit. Wire strippers are primarily used by electricians or mechanics but are equally at home in any DIY toolbox.
