This invention relates to a wire stripper device which may be hand held or placed on a bench vice to remove insulation from copper wires. The rectangular device has various sized holes within the body. Each of these holes has a perpendicular hole within it which houses and aligns a cutter. The cutter comes through the perpendicular hole far enough so that the sharp edge of the cutter cuts a slit in the insulation when the wire is being pulled through the various sized hole in the body. The cutters are held in place by adjustable screws which are housed in parallel holes above the various sized holes. Each cutter cuts a slit in the insulation of the wire so that the copper may be easily removed from the insulation once pulled through the hole.

A highly advantageous cable stripper and associated method are disclosed which utilizes a cable guide to control the position of a cable while being stripped of insulation.

A manually-operated wire stripper is a device for cutting and removing the electrical insulation from an electrical wire. The device includes a base plate onto which a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate are perpendicularly mounted. A first rod is rotatably mounted through the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. A cutting assembly is mounted for longitudinal movement to the first rod and may be moved into position such that a blade of the cutting assembly is aligned with a selected slot from a plurality of wire slots traversing through the base plate. An electrical wire may be stripped by inserting the electrical wire through the selected slot, creating a cut in the electrical insulation with the blade, and then manually pulling the electrical wire through the selected slot to remove the electrical insulation along the length of the electrical wire.

A fiber optic cable cutting tool may include a body portion structurally configured to receive a fiber optic cable, a cutting portion holding portion structurally configured to be supported by the body portion, and a sliding portion structurally configured to be slidingly received by a portion of the body portion. The cutting portion holding portion may be structurally configured to receive a biasing portion and to fixedly hold the cutting portion, and the body portion may be structurally configured to set a length of a jacket of a fiber optic cable to be cut by the cutting portion. The sliding portion may be structurally configured to slide relative to the body portion so as overcome a force of the biasing portion and urge the cutting portion toward a cable held by the body portion such that the cutting portion is configured to consistently cut a jacket of the fiber optic cable held by body portion along the set length as the body portion is slid relative to the fiber optic cable without cutting a fiber in the fiber optic cable.

A device for separating a core and sheath of cable includes an apparatus delivering the cable along cable feed axis parallel to longitudinal axis of cable. Two knives cut sheath to two portions mechanically dissociated from one another. Each knife cuts sheath over its whole thickness in radial cutting zone with respect to central axis of the cable. Two blockers extend the knives in the direction of the feed axis of the cable and keep the core in position along the feed axis of the cable. At least one ramp extends from each knife in a second direction perpendicular to the radial cutting zone and to the feed axis of the cable. The ramp has an outer surface extending away from the cable feed axis in the first direction when movement takes place in the feed direction of the cable to separate the core and the portions of the sheath.

A stripping tool for cutting the armor sheathing of a cable. The stripping tool includes a cable receiving handle and a saw handle movably mounted to the cable receiving handle. A saw assembly, including at least one saw blade, is supported by the saw handle and moveable relative to the cable receiving handle. The saw assembly configured to simultaneously cut the armor sheathing of the cable in two places.

A cable shaving tool including a blade holder having a guide channel extending along the blade holder length. The guide channel includes a cable channel, and a control surface at opposing ends. A removable blade is secured to a blade support surface and the blade edge extends within the guide channel. The blade support and handle are disposed along a central axis. The shaving depth is determined by the differential between: (1) the distance from the cable channel to the bottom surface of the blade holder; and (2) the distance from the control surface to the bottom surface of the blade holder. The handle is secured to the blade holder and extends along the central axis, allowing an operator's hand to be positioned directly over the blade during a cut, apply a downward pressure on the cable to set the blade and then move the tool in a direction parallel to the cable length.

Provided is a wire stripper, including: a body having wire duct, the wire duct having a lower duct surface, an upper duct surface facing the lower duct surface, a lateral duct surface connecting the upper duct surface and the lower duct surface, a stop portion disposed on the lower duct surface and spaced apart from the lateral duct surface by a distance, and a fulcrum portion disposed on the upper duct surface and facing the lower duct surface; and a blade fixedly disposed on the body and having a cutting edge portion protruding from the lower duct surface and thus located inside the wire duct. Therefore, the wire stripper not only enhances wire stripping efficiency but also ensures the precision and safety of the operation.
