Precision stripping tool

The Ideal 45-093 wire stripper handles solid and stranded copper wire from 22 to 14 AWG. Precision-ground knife-type blades remove insulation cleanly without nicking conductors. A spring-return jaw opening speeds repetitive stripping tasks. The die-cast zinc body provides durability for daily electrical work.

Build and handling

The standard cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use. No insulated coating means the tool is not rated for live-circuit work. Fixed stripping holes eliminate adjustment steps but limit flexibility to the listed gauges. The 6 1/2 inch length fits comfortably in a tool belt pouch.

What the bundle changes

The tool ships as a single unit with no additional accessories or software. Users supply their own wire, connectors and safety equipment. California Proposition 65 warnings note the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing insulated handles or adjustable stripping ranges should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What wire gauges can the 45-093 strip in practice?

The 45-093 strips solid and stranded copper wire from 22 AWG up to 14 AWG, covering 22, 20, 18, 16 and 14 AWG sizes.

What space does the 6 1/2 in 45-093 need in a tool pouch?

The 45-093 measures 6 1/2 inches overall with a die-cast zinc body and standard cushion grips, fitting most medium tool pouches or belt holsters.

How do I set up the 45-093 for a clean strip, and what step is often missed?

Select the correct gauge slot for 14 to 22 AWG wire, insert the conductor, squeeze the spring-return handles, then release — forgetting to match the slot to the wire size causes nicked strands.
