Product Information

Full details

The Jokari Standard No. 27 Stripping Tool is designed for electricians and technicians who need to efficiently strip standard round cables. Its key benefit is the durable Titanium-Nitride (TIN) coated blade, offering enhanced longevity and faster cutting. A potential consideration is its specific range for cable diameters, making it ideal for standard sizes but less so for very small or exceptionally large cables. This tool features an easily adjustable cutting depth, automatic switching between round and length cuts, and includes a spare TIN-coated blade stored in the handle for continuous work. It is also TÜV/GS-approved for safety and quality assurance.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the TIN coating on the blades?

The Titanium-Nitride (TIN) coating significantly enhances blade durability, leading to a longer lifespan, faster cutting speeds, and reduced wear compared to uncoated blades.

What cable sizes can this stripping tool handle?

This tool is designed for standard round cables with diameters ranging from 8mm to 28mm (approximately 0.313 to 1.125 inches).

How do I adjust the cutting depth?

The cutting depth is adjusted using the large screw located on the end of the handle. Turn it clockwise to increase depth and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

Does this tool come with a spare blade?

Yes, a spare TIN-coated blade is conveniently included and stored within the handle of the tool.

Is this tool suitable for flat cables?

No, the Jokari Standard No. 27 is specifically designed for stripping standard round cables. For flat cables, a different type of stripping tool would be necessary.

What does TÜV/GS approval mean?

TÜV/GS approval signifies that the product has been tested and certified by TÜV, a leading independent safety testing organization, to meet German and European safety standards (Geprüfte Sicherheit).

How often should I replace the blade?

The TIN-coated blade is very durable. Replacement is generally needed only when you notice a significant decrease in cutting performance or if the blade becomes visibly damaged. The spare blade is for when the primary blade eventually dulls or is damaged.

Troubleshooting

Tool is not cutting through insulation cleanly.

Increase the cutting depth using the adjustment screw. Ensure the cable is properly centered in the tool's jaws. Check if the blade is dull or damaged; if so, replace it with the spare.

The tool is cutting into the cable conductors.

Decrease the cutting depth by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise. Ensure you are using the correct tool for the specific cable diameter.

The automatic cut transition (round to length) is not working correctly.

Ensure the cable is oriented correctly and not obstructed. Clean any debris from the blade mechanism and guide rails.

Spare blade is difficult to access or store.

Ensure the blade compartment is clean. Follow the instructions for opening and closing the compartment carefully. Avoid forcing it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable TIN-coated blades for extended sharpness and faster cutting.
  • Easy depth adjustment via a large screw.
  • Automatic switching between round and length cuts simplifies workflow.
  • Includes a readily accessible spare blade in the handle.
  • TÜV/GS approval provides confidence in safety and quality.
  • Suitable for a broad range of common cable sizes.

Cons

  • Not designed for very thin or very thick industrial cables outside its specified range.
  • Requires manual adjustment for different cable diameters, unlike automatic strippers.
  • The spare blade is small and could potentially be lost if not stored carefully.
  • Primarily for round cables; may require a different tool for flat cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Cutting Depth: Locate the large adjustment screw on the handle. Turn it clockwise to increase cutting depth and counter-clockwise to decrease it. For initial use, start with a shallow setting and increase as needed to cleanly score the insulation without cutting into the conductors.
  2. Select Cut Type: The tool automatically adapts to round cuts (for starting a strip) and length cuts (for finishing). Ensure the cable is centered within the jaws for proper function.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Type: Designed for standard *round* cables.
  • Cable Diameter: Compatible with cables ranging from 8mm to 28mm (0.313 to 1.125 inches).
  • Insulation Materials: Effective on most common cable insulation materials.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades and body clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Blade Maintenance: The TIN coating is durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the blade for nicks or damage.
  • Storage: Store the tool in a dry place. Ensure the spare blade is securely stored in its compartment within the handle.
  • Blade Replacement: If the cutting performance degrades significantly, replace the blade. Unscrew the blade holder, remove the old blade, insert the spare TIN-coated blade, and re-tighten the holder.
