NEW Ripley Stripping Tools Improve Safety And Reliability

IMPROVE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY

Cable Stripping Tools

The following blog has been republished alongside the below video from Utility Service Agency, where they demo their favourite Utility Tool® tools for improving safety and reliability during cable preparation.

“What I like about this tool is that it’s very easy to see your blade when you’re doing your chamfer in the field.”

Improve reliability and safety at the same time; take the knife out of your hand and put the Ripley Tools in your hand.

Utility Tool from Ripley offer two by two and four by four cable strippers with bushings. The bushings on each side are specifically designed for the conductor sizes you need. “Take about a twelve to 14 inch cut of all those sizes, and send them off to Ripley tools to get your specifically sized bushing.”

“To use these tools, just run it down to your spot, I have my hand as a stopper. Perfect cut. No scoring. Safe. Good to go.”

For those that need more adjustability on the system, the WS 71 and WS 72 Series provides mid span. Just tighten it down and again, run it right down. If you want to take the WS 71 and 72 and make them into one tool, take the US07-7000.

This is new tool from Ripley is capable of doing end strips and also your midspan strips all in one tool. “We used to have two tools for your chamfering. Now we have one tool.”

We also have a US10 7000 which performs a 30 degree chamfer, and then we have a US10 7001 which performs a 45 degree chamfer. See below for further product specification.
