ABSTRACT:
A wire stripper has a blade handle, a gripper handle, a blade jaw and a gripper jaw all pivotally connected at a main pivot pin that is offset from the mating faces of the jaws. Movable and floating cutting blades mounted on the blade jaw are self-aligning due to a floating connection of the blades that allows them to move respective gauge surfaces into engagement during closing. A blade hold down spring urges the blades into alignment. The jaws are angled with respect to the handle axis so the throat of the cutting blades aligns with a user's line of sight. Individual handle springs have differential springs rates and are arranged so that the handles springs do no resist opening of the jaws.
