Abstract
A multi-purpose wire stripping tool can be used to strip the insulation jacket from Romex-type electrical cable, strip the insulation from individual wires, cut the wires to a desired length, and crimp splice caps and sleeves onto joined wires. The tool includes a pair of opposed handle members joined at an axis portion and extending into a pair of opposed jaw members, the jaw members bearing a sleeve crimper portion, a wire cutter portion, and a wire stripper portion including a plurality of different wire gauge orifices. The jaw members terminate in a cable insulation jacket stripper portion perpendicularly disposed to the plane of the handle members.
