Abstract
A tong- or vice-like appliance for gripping, holding, pressing or incising pipes, cables and the like, particularly for stripping the ends of cables and crimping ferrules thereto, has a pair of jaws with one or more pairs of oppositely inclined engagement faces (in the form of cutting edges where appropriate). In one form, the applicance is specially designed for preparing the ends of coaxial cables, and in another form it is adapted to be threaded over the cable and rotated therearound for the purpose of converting an initial intermittent cut through insulation into a continuous cut for stripping the cable end. Signalling means may be provided for indicating the desired depth of penetration of the cutting faces into the cable.
