A device for stripping an outer protective material from a transmission-carrier, the device including hand-held grip members that are pivotally mounted at one end thereof, the other ends of the grip members being movable relative to each other to and from a closed stripping position, a guide member being located at the pivot end of the grip members and receiving therein the lead-in portion of the transmission carrier from which the protective material is to be stripped. Blade members are located adjacent to the guide member and are engageable by the grip members for movement by the grip members into engaging relation with the protective material during a stripping operation, wherein the blade members penetrate into the protective material. In order to facilitate the stripping operation, a heating member is provided for heating the portion of the protective material to be stripped to a temperature sufficient to produce a softening thereof, whereafter a longitudinal retracting movement of the transmission carrier strips the protective material from the lead-in portion thereof without scoring or impairing the physical characteristics of the transmission carrier.
