Universal Wire Stripping Tool (SZ-501) - UTP, STP & Phone Cable Stripper

Strip network, phone and data cables cleanly with the SZ-501 universal wire stripping tool, built to handle both flat and round cable types. Whether you're terminating UTP, STP or standard telephone wire, this hand tool speeds up the job while reducing the risk of nicking conductors.

For flat cable, simply insert it between the stripper blades and squeeze the handles to remove the outer jacket cleanly. Round cable is handled differently — insert it into the appropriate opening and rotate the tool one to three times counterclockwise to score and remove the sheath without damaging the wires inside.

Good to know

Take care to match the correct stripping method to your cable type — flat cable uses the squeeze-and-pull action, while round cable needs the rotating technique — to avoid nicking the internal conductors.
