Wire strippers and stripping tools

A wire stripper removes the plastic coating from the cable wires because the bare wire is required for conductive connectivity. A distinction can be made between automatic stripping tongs and manual stripping tongs. The automatic stripper automatically adjusts to the outer diameter of the wire, while the manual one must first be adjusted. The Stripax wire stripper from Weidmüller and the Knipex wire strippers are among the best known products.
