ABSTRACT:
A wire stripper for removing the insulation from single-core or coaxial cable has a pair of elongated jaws which are hinged together at one end and are provided with a latch at the other end so that they can clamp the wire between them. One of the jaws carries a blade, preferably in a replaceable cartridge, adapted to penetrate into part of the periphery of the insulation of the wire while the other jaw is formed with a bed to receive the wire and hold it during penetration by the blade. One of the jaws is also provided with a ring or eye into which the user can insert a finger and thereby twirl the tool around to effect relative rotation of the tool and the wire to cut through the insulation over its entire circumference. The tool is then drawn off the wire axially or the wire is withdrawn axially from the tool to strip the severed length of insulation from the wire. When two axially spaced cuts are to be made, the replaceable cartridge is formed with two blades in parallel transversely spaced relation.
