Ideal 45-671 Wire Stripper 22-16 AWG
The Ideal 45-671 is a hand tool designed for stripping and cutting solid and stranded copper wire from 22 to 16 AWG. It features precision ground knife-type blades and a spring return jaw opening for repetitive use. The die cast zinc body provides durability for electrical work. This tool suits electricians and technicians needing reliable wire preparation.
Check wire gauge and insulation type
Verify that the conductors you plan to strip fall within the 22 to 16 AWG range for both solid and stranded copper cable. The tool has no adjustment mechanism, so it cannot accommodate gauges outside this fixed capacity. Ensure the insulation material is compatible with knife type blades. Confirm that a non insulated grip meets your safety requirements for the working environment.
Spring return and cushion grip change workflow
The spring return jaw opening automatically resets the tool after each strip, reducing hand fatigue during high volume tasks. Standard cushion grips provide comfort and control without adding bulk. Precision ground knife type blades deliver clean cuts on copper cable, minimising the need for secondary trimming. No additional accessories or software are included with this tool.
