  • Patent number: 7225490
    Abstract: A multi-functional wire stripper includes a fixing element, a movable element, a wire-stripping module, an electrical sensor, and a flexible element. There is a fixing sleeve on the front end of the fixing element for installing a tool module. The movable element is installed at the fixing element. The wire-stripping module is installed between the fixing element and the movable element. The electrical sensor is installed at the fixing element. The flexible element is installed between the fixing element and the movable element. Thereby, the wire stripper is capable of stripping the insulating layer off electrical cords and cutting electrical cords. The wire stripper is easy to operate, and reduces the time taken to perform such an action. The quantity of tools required by a workman are therefore reduced. If an electrical device leaks electricity, the wire stripper can inform the user thereby preventing them receiving an electrical shock.

  • Publication number: 20040025259
    Abstract: A tool handle structure comprises a fixation part at a front side and a movable part at a rear side. The fixation part terminates in a front end that includes a fixation slot for fixedly attaching a tool element. The movable part is pivotally assembled with an upper cover in a manner to be capable of being opened and closed relative to each other. A spring element and at least a peeling tool is mounted between the movable part and the upper cover, and a switch is mounted through the movable part and the upper cover to securely close the upper cover on the movable part. With this tool handle structure, different types of tool elements can be mounted to tool handle for adequate utilization. Furthermore, the peeling tool is adapted to peel off and cut the insulating layer of differently sized wires.
