ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for removing insulation from a conductor includes a body, a blade mounted to the body and a movable jaw. The body includes a fixed jaw and a blade support pivotally mounted to the body at the fixed jaw. The blade is releasably secured to the blade support. A one-way drive mechanism incrementally advances the movable jaw toward the blade. An actuable release lever permits free movement of the movable jaw away from the blade upon actuation thereof. Pivotal movement of the blade support selectively positions the blade with the cutting edge substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the conductor and with the cutting edge at a predetermined acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the conductor. The conductor is gripped between the movable jaw and the blade so that the cutting edge penetrates the insulation, whereupon rotation of the apparatus about the conductor with the cutting edge perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the conductor results in a crosswise scoring of the perimeter of the insulation. Rotation of the apparatus about the conductor with the cutting edge at the acute angle results in helical scoring of the insulation to permit removal thereof.
