IDEAL 45-173 Custom Stripmaster wire stripper
The IDEAL 45-173 is a manual wire stripper for stripping wires in the 10–14 AWG range. It is built as a Custom Stripmaster, providing a tool designed for precise stripping of wire and wire insulation without the need for unduly slow work with a knife or other less precise methods.
This is particularly relevant in electrical engineering and electronics production, where stripping must be consistent every time. It uses a one-step, high-leverage squeeze action, allowing for clamping, stripping, and releasing in a single operation. The precision-formed blade construction is made for quick and accurate stripping.
The tool features a cast zinc body and comfort grips, and the red handles indicate it is for larger wire gauges. It comes with a grit pad, and gripper pads, blade sets, and accessories can be replaced or customized as needed. There is also an option for a short-stop latch and transparent wire stop if the task requires more precise length control.
It is therefore a specialized tool for professionals working with wires, where both speed and consistent results are important. When set correctly, it provides more controlled stripping and less wasted time on repetitive tasks.
Typical applications
Used for stripping 10–14 AWG wires when a tool customized for this size range is needed.
