ABSTRACT:
A wire stripper is provided with a body having mounted therein, in one preferred embodiment, one or more circular cutting blades, selectively positioned to sever one or more layers of an insulated cable. In a preferred embodiment, the body is compact and generally circular. The body has a cable accepting opening generally through its center into which the circular blades partially protrude. The blades are mounted on a slide reciprocatingly moveable back and forth within the body, which slide partially extends outward from the circumference of the body. When the extension of the slide is depressed toward the center of the body, the blades are withdrawn from the cable accepting opening and a cable may be inserted therethrough. The stripper is preferably manually rotated by gripping the outer circumference of the stripper and rotating it about the cable, thus inherently producing a circular cut. The use of circular blades affords substantially longer life than the straight blades used in other types of wire strippers. Different cable diameters can be acocmmodated by opening the body and replacing one or more of the circular blades.
