The invention relates to a device for stripping an insulation sheath from an end portion of a cable. The device comprises two manually graspable handles (10,11) which are capable of relative movement towards and away from one another, a pair of jaws (14,17) which move towards one another during a first, rotary, part of relative movement of the handles towards each other to grip a cable (C) placed in use between said jaws and a pair of cutter blades (24) disposed adjacent to the jaws and which move towards one another during said first, rotary, part of the handle movement thereby to cut through an outer insulating sheath of said cable, the cutter blades (24) during a second, rectilinear, part of said relative movement of the handles (10,11), moving away from the jaws (14,17) to strip the outer sheath from the cable. It has been found particularly advantageous that the second part of the movement is approximately parallel in direction to the longitudinal center line of the cutter blades. |
