ABSTRACT:
A tool for severing a thermoplastic sheath forming the outer layer of an electrical cable includes an elongated flexible sheath-severing line having an outer sleeve of woven polyester fabric covering a center core of polyester filaments. This line is stored on a spring-loaded reel inside of a case, and is provided with a handle grip outside of the case. The method for using the tool includes the steps of wrapping the line around the thermoplastic sheath at the point where it is to be severed, supporting the cable firmly against the case, and pulling briskly and firmly on the cable grip to cause the line to move out of the case against the action of the reel biasing spring, thus generating sufficient friction as it slides around the thermoplastic sheath to cut through the sheath to the paper underneath.
