ABSTRACT:
A plier-like tool for stripping insulaton from sheathed cables or wires has an elongate body terminating at a front end in a first gripping jaw and at a rear end in a first shank toward which a second shank, forming part of a handle pivoted to the body, is movable to clamp the end of a cable between the first gripping jaw and a coacting second gripping jaw also pivoted to the body. The second gripping jaw is controlled by the handle via a camming mechanism which also displaces a link member along the body, that link member being rigid with a first stripping jaw and being articulated to a second stripping jaw and being articulated of the two gripping jaws for pulling insulation off the clamped cable end. The rear end of the link member, remote from the stripping jaws, is positively guided in a rib of the body and is slidably connected with a guide member resting against an overhanging shelf of the body provided with a detent formation, the sliding connection between the link and guide members including a slot extending parallel to the shelf and to a guide track of the first gripping jaw along which the first stripping jaw slides; the subassembly of guide member, link member and stripping jaws can thus be positively secured to the tool body without riveting or other fastening operations. A front edge of the guide member defines with an upper edge of the link member and with a rear edge of an upward projection thereof an upwardly open recess which is narrowed upon a rearward sliding of the link member, at least one of these edges being sharpened for cutting into the insulation of a cable inserted into that recess.
