FAQs

Can I use this for coaxial cables?

Yes, this tool is specifically designed to handle coaxial cables along with power and RJ45 types.

What is the maximum flat cable width this tool can handle?

The tool is designed to support flat cable stripping widths up to 8 mm.

Are replacement blades available?

Yes, the T-WS-01 features a replaceable blade system, allowing you to maintain the tool's performance over time.

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial cables?

It is designed for standard wire ranges between 0.5 and 6 sq. mm. It is not intended for very thick industrial cables beyond this capacity.

How do I adjust the stripping length?

The tool features an adjustable stop mechanism that allows you to set the desired strip length for consistent results.

Troubleshooting

The tool is nicking or cutting the internal wires.

Adjust the blade pressure setting. It is likely set too deep; decrease the pressure and test on a scrap piece of wire until only the outer jacket is removed.

The tool fails to strip the insulation completely.

Increase the blade pressure adjustment slightly. Alternatively, ensure the cable is positioned correctly within the jaw to allow for a full, clean cut.

The cutting edge feels dull or leaves jagged ends.

Check the blade for debris. If it remains dull, replace the blade using the integrated replaceable system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces risk of damaging internal conductors
  • Works with a wide range of common cable types
  • Self-adjusting design increases efficiency
  • Durable, long-term use through replaceable blades

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment for optimal blade pressure on varying cable thicknesses
  • Does not support extremely thick industrial-grade power cables beyond 6 sq. mm
  • Plastic handle construction may feel less robust than full-metal alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the tool's blade pressure adjustment screw is set for the gauge of wire you are working with. For the best results, perform a test strip on a scrap piece of cable first.

  • Compatibility: Supports power cables, RJ45, coaxial, and flat cables within the 0.5-6 sq. mm range.
  • Maintenance: Keep the blade area free of wire shavings and plastic residue. Periodically inspect the cutting edge; if you notice the tool beginning to tear insulation rather than cut it cleanly, it is time to use the replaceable blade system to swap in a fresh edge.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the internal spring mechanism and blade assembly.
