Working Mechanism

  • Wire strippers consist of two jaws that come together when the handles are squeezed.
  • The jaws have specially shaped cutting edges or notches that can cut through the insulation without cutting into the wire itself.
  • The insulation can be cleanly removed by positioning the wire in the appropriate notch and squeezing the handles.

Features

  • IDEAL wire strippers are available in both manual and automatically adjusted variants.
  • They are useful for both stripping and cutting the wires.
  • These wire strippers feature plastic handles so that electric current may not pass through these tools to the body of the electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions

What safety precautions should I take while using IDEAL wire strippers?

  • Ensure that the wire strippers are in good condition without any damaged or worn-out parts.
  • Always use the appropriate size and type of wire strippers for the wire you are working with.
  • Use protective gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes.
  • Keep your fingers clear of the cutting edges to avoid accidental cuts.
  • Make sure that the wire is not live or energised before stripping the insulation.

How do I choose the right wire stripper?

  • Ensure that the wire stripper can handle the wire sizes you commonly work with.
  • Check if the wire stripper is suitable for the type of insulation you frequently encounter.
  • Look for wire strippers with comfortable handles and an ergonomic design to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
