Abstract
A tool for stripping insulation from a cable has a wheel (D) with a circumferential groove accommodating the cable for guidance and movement of the wheel along the length of the cable. A wire from the cable is hooked to the wheel at one end in a fastener (E) defined by a receiving opening. A ratchet (F) effectuates indexing movement of the wheel along the cable for winding a wire from the cable while stripping the insulation as the wire is pulled from the cable as a result of such winding of the wire.
