Ideal 45-520 coaxial cable stripper
The Ideal 45-520 is a manual cable stripper designed for electricians and installers working with coaxial cables. It features a plastic handle and adjustable blades suitable for stripping and crimping tasks. The tool accommodates RG58, RG59, RG62 and RG6 cable types. Its compact 5 in length provides a comfortable fit for the hand during use.
1/4 in capacity and cable compatibility
The stripper operates with a 1/4 in capacity, limiting its use to coaxial cables within this size range. Adjustable blades allow precise stripping for the supported RG58, RG59, RG62 and RG6 standards. It cannot process cables exceeding the stated capacity or differing connector types. The manual mechanism requires physical effort for each stripping operation.
