ABSTRACT:
A stripping tool, particularly for fiber optic conductors, has rigid jaws and lever handles extending in opposite directions from a pivot point, the jaws carrying blades having parallel opposed edges, one or both of which may be sharpened, which contact a conductor placed between them. A spring arranged to normally urge the opposed blade edges toward one another determines the pressure they exert on the sheath material. The blades are separated, to receive conductors of various sizes, by an adjusting screw arranged to force the lever handles toward one another, and the blades away from one another, when it is rotated in one direction against the bias of the spring, and to allow the spring to force the lever handles away from one another, and the blades toward one another, when it is rotated in the opposite direction. The small size of the tool, coupled with the fact that the pressure applied to the conductor does not depend on thumb conductor damage.
