Abstract:
A stripping tool for removing insulation of single- or multi-core electrical cable having an outer cable insulation (1), an inner cable-core insulation (2), and fibers (3) therebetween; the tool having a first tool end and a second tool end; the tool comprising:two trough-shaped jaws hinged together so as to pivot toward one another about a pivoting axis defining a longitudinal direction;stripping blades (6,7) adjacent the first tool end, each of the laws comprising a respective one of the stripping blades, the stripping blades extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the jaws, the stripping blades including opposing cutting edges (8, 9), which are disposed with different gap spacings (S1, S2) from one another,wherein the cutting edges are substantially straight and generally parallel to one another;the gap spacings including a first gap spacing adapted for stripping the outer cable insulation (1) and a second gap spacing adapted for stripping the inner cable-core insulation (2); anda cutting blade (10) held on an inside of one of the laws so as to be displaceable within a guide, the cutting blade extending in the longitudinal direction and being extendable out of said second end opposite the stripping blades (6, 7) into a functional position for cutting the fibers (3) between the outer and inner insulations (1, 2).
