A wire stripper includes a housing and a bushing coupled to the housing and having a tooth engageable with a wire for stripping an insulation jacket therefrom. The wire stripper also includes a drive mechanism configured to rotate the bushing about a longitudinal axis. The wire stripper also includes a depth adjustment mechanism arranged in the housing along the longitudinal axis. The depth adjustment mechanism includes a depth stop member and a telescoping shaft to which the depth stop member is coupled. The telescoping shaft is configured to telescope within the housing as the depth stop member moves between a first position, in which a first distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth, and a second position, in which a second distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

A wire stripper operable to strip insulation from a wire, the wire stripper including a battery, a handle portion including a receptacle that receives the battery along a battery insertion axis, a motor, the motor located in the handle portion, the motor including a motor shaft that rotates about a driveline axis. The wire stripper further includes a rotary head coupled to the motor for rotation about a wire insertion axis that is perpendicular to the driveline axis. The rotary head defines a central aperture and the wire insertion axis extends through the central aperture. A blade is coupled to the rotary head for rotation with the rotary head about the wire insertion axis. The blade extends into the central aperture to cut the insulation of the wire passing through the central aperture along the wire insertion axis as the blade rotates about the wire insertion axis.

A cable stripper may be provided. The cable stripper may comprise a stripper body, a trigger assembly, a cable support body, and a blade. The trigger assembly may be slidably engaged within the stripper body. The trigger assembly may comprise a trigger assembly block. The cable support body may be attached to the stripper body. The blade may be attached to a front of the stripper body and enclosed by the cable support body. The blade may extend into a cable opening in the apparatus. The trigger assembly block may press a cable against the blade. The cable may be in the cable opening. The blade may extend into a jacket of the cable without extending to a conductor of the cable.

A coating stripping device includes a rotation driving tool and a coating stripping tool. A rotating disk of the rotation driving tool includes a first rotating disk having a projection, and a second retaining member of the coating stripping tool has a feather-shaped part. The coating stripping tool in the released state is attached to the second rotating disk and the first rotating disk rotates in a predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the retained state, and when the coating stripping tool is in the retained state, the first rotating disk rotates in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the released state.

A wire stripper assembly includes a first bushing for stripping wire of a first size, a second bushing for stripping wire of a second size that is different than the first size, and a wire stripper having a housing and a drive mechanism. The first bushing has a first color. The second bushing has a second color that is different than the first color. The first bushing and the second bushing are alternately coupled to the housing for rotation about a longitudinal axis by the drive mechanism. Each of the first and second bushings has a tooth that is engageable with a wire for stripping an insulation jacket therefrom.

A tool for scoring cable sheathing on a cable including a blade housing assembly having a blade housing, a blade housing opening, a blade disposed in the blade housing opening and a blade housing carrier having a blade housing carrier opening wherein the blade housing is rotatably secured in the blade housing carrier opening for scoring the sheathing in a circular, lateral or spiral direction. The tool includes a cable support member and an adjustable frame disposed between the cable support member and the blade housing assembly for adjusting the cable support member toward and away from the blade housing assembly for scoring various diameter cables, the blade housing carrier secured to one end of the adjustable frame. The blade is adjustable within the blade housing opening toward and away from the cable support member for controlling a depth of the blade into the cable sheathing.

A coating stripping device includes a rotation driving tool and a coating stripping tool. A rotating disk of the rotation driving tool includes a first rotating disk having a projection, and a second retaining member of the coating stripping tool has a feather-shaped part. The coating stripping tool in the released state is attached to the second rotating disk and the first rotating disk rotates in a predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the retained state, and when the coating stripping tool is in the retained state, the first rotating disk rotates in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to bring the feather-shaped part into contact with the projection, thereby switching the coating stripping tool into the released state.

A coring tool for a coaxial cable has a tool holder and cutter bit mounted to the tool holder. The cutter bit is constructed from a conductive metal or alloy which is durable for rotatably drilling out and removing a dielectric core surrounding a central conductor of the coaxial cable, as the central conductor is preserved by passing into a central bore formed in the cutter bit. The cutter bit also includes a non-conductive sleeve or coating which prevents the cutter bit from electrically interconnecting, e.g., shorting, the central conductor to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

A cable stripping tool is provided for making a circumferential or ring cut and a spiral cut in the jacket of a cable. A cutting blade of the tool includes first and second blade portions which are integrally formed with each other and are angled relative to each other. In use, after the cutting blade penetrates the jacket, the tool is rotated in a first direction and the first blade portion cuts the jacket to form a ring cut. The tool is then rotated in a second, opposite direction and the second blade portion cuts the jacket to form a spiral cut. Thereafter, the tool is rotated in the first direction and the first blade portion cuts the jacket to form a ring cut. The cuttings by the blade portions are done without disengaging the cutting blade from the cable.

An adjustable wire stripper has a jaw for positioning a length of cable, a tool body for tangentially contacting the cable, a blade having a cantilevered loading ramp for cutting the insulation off the cable, and a blade angle adjustment shaft driven by an angle adjustment member. A frame member disposed between the jaw and the body adjusts the distance between the jaw and the body to accommodate cables of different diameters. The frame member relatively moves the jaw and the body with respect to each other along a line having a constant sliding angle. The angle adjustment shaft has a flange extending radially outwardly for driving the shaft to different angles of rotation with respect to the body. An optional assist spring bearing opposite the flange urges the flange against the blade angle adjustment member during movement of the flange to reduce backlash of the shaft.
