Application
A wire stripper is a hand tool designed to remove the protective covering, or jacket, from electrical wires. By removing the jacket, the wire stripper helps the electrician expose the wire for new uses or repairs. Another type of wire stripper is a self-stripping tool, or self-adjusting wire strippers, that removes wire insulation with a compound action. This means that three actions take place when you squeeze the handle: grip, strip, and remove. After you precisely place the wire in the head and squeeze the handle, the stripper grabs onto the wire, cuts the insulation, and completely removes it from the wire, all in one motion. Self-stripping wire strippers are more expensive than normal strippers. They serve one function only and are normally owned by professional electricians who prefer specialty tools for each function.
