    Squeeze-and-Strip Building Cable Strippers

    With just a squeeze, strip and remove outer insulation from your cable. These strippers require less effort than standard strippers or stripping knives because you don’t need to manually peel the insulation. The blade automatically adjusts to the outer diameter of your cable to remove a layer of insulation. They’re often used on NM-B cable (also known as Romex) since you can strip the cable jacket and the insulation on the individual wires without changing settings in between. Turn the adjustment knob to fine-tune the position of the blades so you don’t nick inner insulation, thin wires, or stranded wire. Set your strip length with the stop for consistent strips across multiple cables.

    Benchtop Automatic Electrical Wire Strippers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire and Cable Strippers. Benchtop Automatic Electrical Wire Strippers.
    Automatically strip insulation off high volumes of wire. These strippers sit on your workbench but are portable enough to cart around your facility. They accurately strip a variety of wire gauge sizes with the exact length you need—just adjust the settings. To make consistent cuts wire after wire, lock the settings in place. You can also toggle between stripping the insulation in the middle of the wire or stripping it to the end. An included funnel will help guide thin wires into the machine, so they are inserted correctly.

    Insert wire between the heated tips to melt off insulation and strip without the risk of nicking the wire. Choose the output power on these wire strippers based on the material you’re removing. For example, use 10% power to remove PVC insulation or 55% power to remove PTFE.
    These wire strippers sit on a stand, with an integrated handpiece holder on top to maximize work space and protect from burns. A blade removal plate lets users switch blades out of the handpiece without touching them.
