Abstract

This is a cable stripper or tool for removing insulation from cable. The tool has a pair of jaws which are adapted to close on a cable with a cutting blade or tool therein so that when the cable and tool are rotated relative to each other, a cut path will be defined or applied to the cable. The tool has the capability for either square cutting, i.e. a circular cut, or peeling, i.e. a helical cut or both and will automatically apply one cut or the other depending upon its direction of rotation.
