Wire strippers are hand-held tools designed to remove insulation or outer sheath from electrical wires. Wire strippers create a neat and tidy cut to reveal wires, ready to be soldered or have a connector attached. There are various types available from stripping the cable to cutting copper and conduit. Wire strippers are commonly used by electricians and mechanics, however, it is an essential hand tool found in many toolboxes.

The maximum diameter that the RS PRO automatic wire stripper can cut is 6.0mm².

Automatic wire strippers can grip the sheath of the wire or cable whilst simultaneously cutting it safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of damaging the strands. Manual wire strippers feature two cutting blades that act like scissors to cut the sheath of the wire, however, this requires more precision from the user to prevent cutting through or damaging the strands of the wire.
