Greenlee 0252-11 Cable Ripper

The Greenlee 0252-11 Cable Ripper is a manual hand tool designed for electricians and installers who need to strip non-metallic sheathed cable quickly. Its adjustable mechanism handles Romex 10/2, 12/2, and 14/2 cable sizes. A spring-return handle reduces repetitive strain during extended use. The zinc construction provides durability on the job site.

Strips 6 to 14 AWG NM cable

This ripper comfortably processes non-metallic sheathed cable from 6 AWG down to 14 AWG, covering common residential wiring gauges. It runs out on cables outside that range or on armoured and metallic-sheathed types. The tool is restricted from sale in California due to Proposition 65 chemical warnings for cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing to strip larger feeders or BX cable must choose a different tool.

Tethering hole for tool retention

A tethering accessory hole on the handle allows the ripper to be secured to a lanyard or belt clip, reducing drops when working at height or in confined spaces. The transparent colour improves visibility inside a crowded tool pouch. No additional blades, gauges, or carrying case are included with the tool. California buyers cannot purchase this model due to state restrictions.
