IDEAL 45-128 SWIVEL CABLE STRIPPER

Ideal 45-128 Swivel Cable Stripper

The Ideal 45-128 Swivel Cable Stripper makes it easy to to strip single or multiple conductor cable from 1/4" to 3/4" in diameter.  You can use the stripper to prepare the end of a cable for termination or to strip the center of the cable.  

The Ideal 45-128 Strips Without Damage to the Conductor

Stripping a cable without damaging it can be a delicate balance.  The Ideal 45-128 does this well on SO, power cords, PVC, rubber, and Neoprene cables. To keep reliably stripping cables with clean edges, you can replace the blade or use a spare blade that is located in handle's base. 

Pro Tip: Our customers have found this cable stripper works best on softer cable jackets and it takes extra rotations to penetrate tougher jackets.  To start, extend the blade around 3/32" for the initial cut and then gradually increase the depth of cut while rotating the tool around the cable several times.
