Abstract: A cable stripper is comprised of two components, each component including a main body portion, a coupling device at one end of the main body portion and a T-shaped handle disposed at an opposite end of the main body portion. The coupling device rotatably couples the two components together. A channel runs along an interior length of each of the main body portions, which provides a path into which the cable to be stripped is inserted. A blade housing on at least one of the components of the main body portion securely holds a utility knife blade with a predetermined amount of the tip or edge of the blade protruding into the channel. The exposed portion of the blade pierces the sheath or covering of the cable by a precise, predetermined amount.

Abstract: A cable slicer or sheath cutter is comprised of two components, each component including a main body portion, a two part disconnectable hinge mechanism serving as a coupling device at one end or side of the main body portion and a T-shaped handle disposed at an opposite end of the main body portion. The coupling device rotatably couples the two components together. A channel runs along an interior length of at least one of the main body portions, which provides a path into which the cable to be stripped is inserted. A blade housing on at least one of the components of the main body portion securely holds a blade with a predetermined amount of the tip or edge of the blade protruding into and generally perpendicular to the channel. The exposed portion of the blade slices or shaves the sheath or covering of an interior layer of the cable by a precise, predetermined amount without cutting or shaving the cable in the interior.
