ABSTRACT:
A cable tool which is capable of cutting and stripping a sheath covering from a portion of a cable. The device comprises an outer housing formed of two substantially similarly shaped and sized housing sections which form a cavity therebetween to receive a conventional blade, as for example, a conventional razor blade. The housing is provided with a recess on one margin thereof and which is sized to receive the sheath covered cable in a direction transverse to its length. The housing is also provided with a groove in a margin of another portion of the housing and which is also sized to receive a sheath covered cable parallel to its longitudinal length. The cutting element extends into the groove and into the recess. In this way, when the cable is rotated within the recess, the cutting blade can be positionally located in order to cut the sheath member without cutting the cable. In like manner, the cable can be pulled through the groove longitudinally so that an end section of the cutting edge of the blade severs the cable into two sections. A screw-like retaining member positionally retains the cutting element, such as the blade, in the cavity and also positions the cutting element relative to the recess and to the groove.
