Wire Strippers

A wire stripper is used to strip electrical insulation/coating from wire without damaging the conductor. It is important to select the correct wire stripper for the gauge of wire you are stripping, so that the exposed wire can be attached to an appropriate connector.

    • Frequently Asked Questions about Wire Strippers

    What are wire strippers used for?

    Wire strippers are used to remove the insulation from electrical wires, exposing the conductive metal core for connections or repairs.

    How do I choose the right wire stripper for my needs?

    Choose a wire stripper based on the wire gauge you'll be working with. Consider features like adjustable gauges, comfort grips and automatic stripping mechanisms.

    What are the safety precautions when using wire strippers?

    Always wear safety glasses and ensure the tool is in good condition. Disconnect all power sources before working with electrical wires to avoid shocks or injuries.

    How can I maintain my wire strippers?

    Keep the blades clean and sharp, lubricate moving parts regularly and store the tool in a dry place. Check for wear and replace if the tool becomes damaged or ineffective.

    What is a MIL-SPEC wire stripper?

    A MIL-SPEC wire stripper (short for Military Specification wire stripper) is a highly precise wire stripper that meets strict U.S. military standards. MIL-SPEC wire strippers are regularly used by engineers for stripping wire in sectors such as aerospace, car manufacturing, Formula 1 and defence contractors.

    Why is it important that wire strippers do not nick the conductor?

    The correct wire stripper should be used with the correct wire gauge to prevent the conductor getting nicked, which ensures the full cross-sectional area of the wire will be used to minimise electrical resistance and prevent overheating.

    What is the difference between automatic and manual wire strippers?

    Automatic wire strippers are designed to adjust to the gauge of wire being stripped automatically, whereas manual wire strippers require the operator to choose the correct stripping blade for the wire gauge being stripped. Generally it should be considered that manual wire strippers are more accurate, whereas automatic wire strippers enable the operator to strip varied wire sizes quicker.
