For the 10F601 stripper
This replacement blade set fits the Ideal 10F601 wire stripper. It contains two precision steel blades, one upper and one lower, matched to the tool’s original specifications. The set restores factory cutting performance without requiring a new stripper body. Technicians who already own the compatible tool will find it a direct, drop-in solution.
Capacity and headroom
The blades handle wire up to 16 gauge and have an overall length of 25/32 inch. Within that range they strip insulation cleanly and repeatedly. Beyond 16 gauge the geometry cannot engage the conductor reliably, so larger cables need a different tool. The pair gives enough edge life for high-volume bench work before another change is needed.
What the pair changes
Swapping both blades at once keeps the stripping jaws aligned, eliminating the uneven cuts that come from mixing old and new edges. The MIL-spec precision grind on each blade maintains consistent insulation removal across production runs. No adjustment or calibration is required after installation, so downtime stays minimal.

Questions about this item
Will the 55-1987-1 blades fit the 10F601 stripper I already own?
Yes, the set is made for the 10F601 wire stripper and includes both top and bottom blades for that model.
How do I know the blades are cutting cleanly at 16 ga after I install them?
Strip a 16 ga wire; the insulation should come off in one piece without nicking the conductor.
Does the package contain only the two steel blades or are screws and guides included?
The box holds the two precision steel blades, top and bottom; mounting hardware is not included.
