FAQs
What is the maximum cable diameter this tool can strip?
The Duratool D01702 can strip cables with outer diameters up to 9mm.
What types of cables can be stripped with this tool?
It is suitable for telephone cordage, intercom, speaker cables, heavy-duty cables, flexible cables, multi-core, and networking cables.
Does this tool require any setup before use?

Can I use this tool on flat cables?
No, this tool is designed specifically for round cables within the specified diameter range.
How should I clean the cable stripper?
Wipe the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What should I do if the blades seem dull?
This tool is not designed for user-replaceable blades. If performance degrades significantly due to dullness, consider replacing the tool.
Is this tool suitable for stripping insulation from individual small wires?
While it can strip outer jackets effectively, it is primarily designed for removing the overall sheath of cables, not for fine stripping of individual small gauge wires within a cable.
Troubleshooting
Cable jacket is not being fully cut.
Ensure the cable is properly seated within the tool's jaws and that the diameter falls within the 3mm-9mm range. Rotate the tool slightly around the cable while applying pressure.
Inner wires are being nicked or damaged.
Reduce the amount of pressure applied during the stripping motion. Ensure the cable is centered and the tool is not being twisted excessively. The tool's blades may be dull if this persists.
Tool feels loose or does not grip the cable firmly.
Check that the cable diameter is within the tool's specified range. Ensure no debris is obstructing the jaws.
