Featuring high-leverage spring-action and precision-ground blades housed in a durable die-cast zinc frame, it delivers clean, nick-free wire stripping with minimal effort. Trusted by electricians and DIY enthusiasts alike for over 20 years, it’s engineered to boost productivity and reliability in electrical installation and maintenance. ## Description IDEAL® Stripmaster® Wire Strippers are the industry standard in hand-held, precision wire stripping for electrical installation, electrical work, maintenance and repair at home. Used by electricians, professionals, DIYers, and DIY hobbyists with one-step, high-leverage squeeze-action and a unique precision blade design. They deliver fast, accurate results while reducing operator effort and providing clean strips. This small gauge wire stripper removes insulation from wire ends and, with just one squeeze, easily strips wire clean up to a full 7/8" (22 mm) for accuracy and to prepare wire for terminals/connectors on electrical wire. These electrical wire strippers incorporate a gripper that firmly holds the wire in a centerline position with the stripping hole, and jaws that are automatically held open to allow removal of the wire without damaging its end. Stripmaster® Wire Strippers virtually eliminate nicking, cutting or fraying on non-precision wires for professional jobs, DIY projects and repairs. Review: Great Pair of Wire Strippers - I'm in my late 60's and I remember my dad having a pair of these when I was a little kid. In other words this is an old design. It hasn't changed in a very long time because it works. This is my third or fourth pair, I've yet to wear one out but I've had several that "disappeared" over the years. They work well in applications where they fit. That is perhaps their only downside is they are a bit bulky and may not fit in some tighter areas. However, since they are an automatic you don't have to pull them to remove the insulation, so in many tight spots they are easier to use if they fit. I build custom automotive wiring harnesses, and machinery controls and mine get used a lot, sometimes I'll strip several hundred wires in a day and these strippers don't miss a beat. I routinely strip THHN, GXL, and TXL but I have used them with many other insulation types with no issues. I have over the years tried many "knock-offs" none work as well as the original Ideal stripper. They are a little pricey but not hatefully so and they work so well there is no excuse not to buy the original if you work wit wire a lot. Review: These Are Great Wire Strippers - I used these strippers where I worked in the past, and finally got a pair of my own. I like the speed, but the best part is not cutting copper strands. ## Features - Industry standard electrician tools for hand-held, precision wire stripping - One-step stripping with this wire stripper tool maximizes your productivity - Wire strippers with precision-ground, knife-type blades provide clean, accurate stripping - Wire stripping tool with a sturdy die-cast zinc frame provides long-term durability - High-leverage spring-action mechanical design for reduced operator effort - Wire stripers are used for precision and non-precision stripping applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000RFSWF8 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #100,626 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #210 in Wire Strippers | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (294) | | Date First Available | November 19, 2003 | | Included Components | STM STD 16-26GA | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Item model number | 45-097 | | Manufacturer | IDEAL INDUSTRIES | | National Stock Number | 5110-01-003-9357 | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 45-097 | | Power Source | ac_dc | | Product Dimensions | 8.66 x 3.94 x 3.94 inches | | Usage | Fleet and plant maintenance. | ## Images ![IDEAL Electrical Stripmaster Manual Wire Strippers, #16 to #26 AWG | Electrician tools, precision-ground knife-type blades, die-cast zinc frame, strips up to 7/8 in - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cYIV4mGHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Pair of Wire Strippers *by N***T on July 1, 2023* I'm in my late 60's and I remember my dad having a pair of these when I was a little kid.
