Handheld wire stripper tool device

摘要

A wire stripper tool device is disclosed. The disclosed device comprises a wire retaining dial defining a plurality of graduated holes adjacent to a circumference thereof and an inlet for each hole defined from the circumference to a radius of each hole. The dial is configured to retain and center an insulated wire in one of the graduated holes for a blade to cut the wire through a respective inlet thereof. A spring-loaded two piece body is configured to allow the cutting blade set in a first body piece thereof to be raised and lowered relative to the wire retaining dial set in a second body piece thereof. A limiter set in the first body piece is configured in opposition to a boss in the second body piece. The limiter predetermines a minimum lateral displacement between the two body pieces based on an extension of the limiter relative to the boss.
