FAQs

What types of cables can this stripper be used on?

This stripper is designed for shielded and unshielded twisted pair cables, specifically CAT3, CAT5/5e, and CAT6/6A.

Do I need to adjust the blades for different cable sizes?

No, the high-carbon steel cutting blades automatically adjust to the diameter of the cable.

Can this tool strip coaxial cable?

No, this tool is specifically for twisted pair cables. Klein Tools offers separate strippers for coaxial cable (e.g., VDV110-095).

How do I clean the cutting blades?

Wipe the blades with a dry cloth after use. Avoid lubricants, as they can attract dirt.

What is the purpose of the external blade?

The external blade is for slitting the outer jacket of the cable, which is often the first step before performing the radial strip.

Will this tool damage the internal wires?

When used correctly, the automatic adjustment and precision blades are designed to avoid damaging the internal conductors.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent strip depth

Ensure the correct cable type (CAT3, 5/5e, 6/6A) is inserted fully. Check if blades are dirty or dull; clean or replace if necessary. Verify the tool is rotating smoothly without excessive force.

Conductors are nicked or damaged

This usually indicates excessive force or improper rotation. Ensure the tool is seated correctly on the cable and rotate with a smooth, consistent motion. Do not over-rotate. The blades should cut only the jacket, not the insulation.

Difficulty inserting cable

Confirm you are using a compatible twisted pair cable. Ensure the cable jacket is not deformed. Gently straighten the cable end if needed.
