Southwire Cable Stripper 58746240

The Southwire cable stripper handles coaxial cables from 24 to 18 AWG. Its spring-loaded mechanism performs strip-only operations without adjustment. The ergonomic plastic handle fits electricians and installers who need a lightweight hand tool for repetitive wiring tasks. It is not suited for users who require cutting, crimping or tethering functions.

Thermals Noise And Power Draw

As a manual hand tool the stripper produces no heat, no audible noise and draws no electrical power during normal use. Operation relies entirely on hand force applied through the spring-loaded jaws. There are no motors, batteries or electronic components to generate thermal or acoustic output.

Upgrade From Basic Strippers

This model replaces fixed-blade or non-spring strippers that lack ergonomic handles. The jump is worthwhile when technicians strip coaxial cable daily and want reduced hand fatigue from the spring return and contoured grip. It does not serve buyers who need adjustable depth settings or multi-function stripping for other cable types.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the 58746240 stripper for 24-18 AWG coaxial cable and what step causes nicked conductors?

Open the ergonomic plastic handles, insert the coaxial cable into the fixed stripping cavity, then squeeze firmly; the spring-loaded action strips automatically — the mistake is forcing the cable sideways instead of feeding it straight in.

Which part of the 58746240 wears out first and how do I know it needs replacement?

The internal spring-loaded stripping blades dull after repeated 24-18 AWG use; when the jacket slips instead of cutting cleanly or you see frayed strands, the tool must be replaced.

What limits continuous stripping with the 58746240 before hand fatigue or blade heat becomes an issue?

The fixed 4 51/64 in length and non-adjustable, spring-loaded mechanism concentrate force on the plastic handles, so extended sessions cause grip fatigue faster than on longer, ratcheting models.
