    Ringing Blade

    Stripper with Ringing Blade

    An ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and protects your knuckles from scrapes. Use these strippers to remove the outer insulation on cable. Since they have a ringing blade, they’re best for mid-span stripping. They create ring strips by cutting the insulation in a circular motion around the cable's diameter.

    Tools with a plier nose are useful for pulling and looping wire.
    Tools with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.
