Description
A wire stripper is a hand tool designed to remove the insulation or outer covering from electrical wires, allowing access to the conductive metal wire inside.
Handles: A wire stripper usually consists of two handles connected by a pivot or joint. The handles provide a comfortable grip and allow the user to apply the necessary pressure to strip the wire.
Cutting Blades: Near the pivot point, wire strippers have cutting blades or jaws that come together when the handles are squeezed. These blades are usually made of hardened steel and have sharp edges to cut through the wire’s insulation.
Insulation Gauge Guide: Wire strippers often feature a gauge guide or a series of notches along the cutting blades. These notches are labeled with the corresponding wire gauge sizes, indicating the appropriate position to strip the insulation without damaging the underlying wire.
