Coupled with its ability to rotate the blade to ninety-degrees and perform longitudinal cuts, this means the cable conductors can be accessed at any point on the cable, via spiraling or jacket splitting.

This spring-loaded tool can circular-cut a jacket for quick end removal, end stripping, or spiralling for mid-span cuts. As such, this highly versatile cable stripping tool is ideal for challenging and custom cable management applications.
