Disclosed herein are adapter assemblies for use with a cable stripper and a power drill. Some disclosed assemblies include a cable stripper comprising a body and one or more cutting heads coupled to an adapter. Exemplary embodiments comprising an adapter comprising a bracket having an engagement member, where the engagement member is configured to engage with a factory power drill chuck. The adapter may further comprise a pivot pin for hingedly coupling the adapter and the cable stripper, while allowing the cable stripper to rotate relative to the adapter so that a user can select from the one or more cutting heads of the cable stripper. The adapter may further comprise a locking mechanism which when in the locked position prevents the cable stripper from pivoting relative to the adapter.

A coating removing device includes a heating section that includes a heater to heat a coating of an optical fiber, and a blade to make an incision in the coating of the optical fiber; a gripping section that grips the optical fiber and is capable of moving with respect to the heating section; and a counter that counts a coating removal event number by detecting separation between the heating section and the gripping section.

A cable stripping tool for use with electrical cables comprising an inner core and at least one outer sheath. The cable stripper includes a body including a cable retaining portion having a rotational axis defined therethrough. The cable retaining portion is configured to receive a cable such that its longitudinal axis is coaxial with the rotational axis. The cable stripper also includes first and second cutting blades movable transversely relative to the rotational axis between a retracted position and a cutting position, the cutting blades each having a blade edge. The blade edges of the first and second blades are axially spaced from each other relative to the rotational axis and are arranged such that in the cutting position the first cutting blade is spaced a first radial distance from the rotational axis and the second blade is spaced a second radial distance from the rotational axis that is greater than the first radial distance. The cable stripping tool is rotatable about the rotational axis when the cutting blades are in the cutting position to cause the blades to cut around the entire circumference of the cable.

A coating removing device includes a heating section that includes a heater to heat a coating of an optical fiber, and a blade to make an incision in the coating of the optical fiber; a gripping section that grips the optical fiber and is capable of moving with respect to the heating section; and a counter that counts a coating removal event number by detecting separation between the heating section and the gripping section.

A cable stripping tool for preparing a coaxial cable for insertion into a coaxial cable connector includes a receptacle, a cartridge, and a biasing member. The receptacle defines an opening for receiving an end of the coaxial cable, and the opening defines an axis along which an elongate of the coaxial cable extends into the receptacle. The cartridge is disposed in the receptacle and is slidable in a back-and-forth direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the opening. The cartridge holds at least one cutting blade, which has a blade edge extending substantially orthogonal to the axis of the opening. The biasing member is configured to bias the cartridge toward a first stop surface of the receptacle disposed at an opposite side of the opening relative to the cartridge.

A wire stripper has a first handle, a second handle, a blade set, a spring, and a pair of support blocker plates. The second handle is pivoted to the first handle by a pivot. The blade set has a first blade and a second blade, which are connected to the first handle and the second handle respectively. The blade set is fixed with the first handle or the second handle by a screw. Two ends of the spring are respectively fixed on the first handle and the second handle. An end of each of the support blocker plates is connected to the first handle, and another end thereof is extended to the second handle. The disclosure can provide support to a cutting process and the blade set can be replaced when being worn down.
