Ideal Industries 45-025 Lil’ Ripper Wire Stripper

I was sick to death of using a Stanley knife to remove outer sheaths from cables, the slightest slip and an inner sheath was cut and the jobs a bad'un. I brought the Lil Ripper and it is superb. Only small but wan't you can't see is a small curved hook / blade inside the tube. Simply cut your wire to length (Iv'e only used it on 2.5mm twin and earth fyi) and slide the ripper along the cable. The inner hook / blade cuts through the outer sheath with no damage to the inner wires, I then fold the split sheath back and snip it off with pliers. Even if you slip you cant hurt yourself due the hidden nature of the blade. A friend who saw me use it (who is an electrician, hello Simon if your reading this) was so excited about it I bought him one as a present. It also strips single wires in the "V" you can see etc but for me the it's worth the money just for the outer sheath removing capabilities. With my skill it will pay for itself in one small wiring job due to less waste.

Ideal for some cable but not very diverse

Simply doesn't work on twin and earth as advertised

This is a quality product for cutting wire and things similar. It works very nicely. It is very short and handles very well. It is completely safe and can be stored anywhere.

Works very well on cutting sheathing on 14-2 Romax. Clipping blade is fair. Stripping blade can be used in a pinch. Twist function works well Looper works very well. Guage marking handy feature. See my You Tube review "Ideal Lil' Ripper Stripper".

جميلة جدا في الكبلات لاتجرح اطراف الأسلاك عند تعرية الكيبل لها استخدامات كثيرة

Para mantenimiento eléctrico, residencial, comercial eh industrial

Nice little cable stripper to carry in your toolbox. Comes in handy.
