ABSTRACT:
A tool for use in stripping plastic sheath from electrical cable has first and second handles pivotally connected in a scissor-like configuration so that each handle has a grip portion and a jaw portion. Each jaw portion carries a jaw element with a transverse cutting blade and a longitudinal slitting blade. The cable is inserted between the jaw elements so that it extends through the tool between and generally parallel to the handles. When the grip portions are moved together, the jaw elements engage the cable so that each transverse blade makes a transverse cut through the plastic sheath. At the same time each longitudinal blade makes a slit in the plastic sheath near the transverse cut. The tool is then pulled toward a free end of the cable so that each longitudinal blade slits the plastic sheath to the free end. The transverse blades are pivotally mounted on the jaw elements so that they swing away from their cutting position when the tool is moved along the cable. The slit parts of the cable are then peeled away from the interior wires and broken off from the sheath at the transverse cuts.
