Product Overview
The IDEAL 45-098 StripMaster Wire Stripper is an automatic hand tool engineered for the precise and efficient stripping of 30-20 AWG wire. Designed for general-purpose electrical applications, this model features knife-type blades that precisely sever the jacket to practically eliminate the nicking, cutting, or fraying of internal conductors. It is highly effective for stripping lighter gauge wiring, including PVC hook-up, telephone, fixture, radio, and instrument cables.
The tool's built-in single-squeeze automatic action strips the wire effortlessly, while the jaws stay open to facilitate easy extraction of the stripped wire without dragging against the remaining insulation. The stripper can cleanly remove up to 7/8 inch of wire insulation in a single operation.
