Apparatus for stripping electrical wires and the like

摘要

An improved device for stripping electrical and similar wires is disclosed. A main body and an arm are articulated at one end of each. The main body includes cutting blades at the top of arcuate openings. The cable to be stripped is clamped between the articulated members so that the cutting blade cuts the sheath to be removed from the electric cable but does not cut the underlying conductor. Additional features include capability of longitudinal cutting of the sheathing, controlled graduation means for precise control of the depth of cut, and a cooperating recess and projection arrangement for easy removal of the cut sheath.
