Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stripping tool with longitudinal and transverse blades that assist in stripping and removing sheathing from heavy gauge wire and cable. The cutting device comprises an elongated U-shaped structure with an angularly offset portion. A first blade or series of blades extend generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device to cut the sheath within the U-shaped structure longitudinally. A second blade or series of blades associated with the offset portion extend generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to cut the sheath transversely.
