Ideal 45-162 cable stripper 6 in capacity 1/8 in

Ideal 45-162 cable stripper

The Ideal 45-162 is a 6 in cable stripper designed for electrical cable stripping tasks. It handles inner conductors and round cable jackets up to 1/8 in cutting capacity. The tool features a rounded edge slitting blade with 240 in blade spacing for 2 step or window strips. It is suited for technicians preparing RG-174 and RG-187 cable designations.

Check cable type and handle preference

Verify that your work involves stripping round cable jackets and inner conductors within the 1/8 in capacity. The stripper has a standard cushion grip in grey and is not insulated, so confirm this matches your safety requirements. No adjustment mechanism is present, meaning the blade spacing is fixed at 6.1 mm. Ensure the lack of insulation aligns with your application environment.

Sustained use with fixed blade spacing

Under continuous operation the fixed 6.1 mm blade spacing delivers consistent 2 step or window strips without recalibration. The standard cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive stripping of RG-174 or RG-187 cables. The rounded edge blade maintains cutting performance on inner conductors and jackets throughout extended sessions. No moving adjustment parts means reliability stays constant over time.
