ABSTRACT:
A wire stripper having a two-part hollow body and a group of circular cutters mounted within that body. The two body parts are interconnected for relative movement between an open position and a closed position at which the cutters are engageable with and penetrate into a cable end portion positioned within the body. Locating structure functions to properly position that cable end portion within the body. The cutters are spring biased so as to be movable into and out of a position at which they have maximum penetration in the cable end portion. A cable end stop fixes the axial position of the cable end portion and is movable into an inoperative position in response to the body parts being moved into the closed position. A handle is rotatably connected to the body and includes a releasable retainer which is engageable with the cable to hold the cable against movement relative to the handle. Each cutter is operative to form a respective circumferential cut around the cable end portion as a consequence of relative rotation between the body and the handle while the body parts are in the closed position. Stripping of the end portion is effected by removing the cable from the body while the body parts are in the closed position.
