Wire stripper

A wire stripper comprising:

• a housing;
• a bushing coupled to the housing and having a tooth engageable with a wire for stripping an insulation jacket therefrom, the bushing defining a longitudinal axis;
• a drive mechanism configured to rotate the bushing about the longitudinal axis, the drive mechanism including a motor defining a rotation axis that is not coaxial with the longitudinal axis;
• a coupling member that is rotatable about the longitudinal axis by the drive mechanism and configured to receive the bushing, the coupling member having a retainer that is moveable between a first retainer position, in which the retainer is received in an aperture in the bushing to secure the bushing to the coupling member such that the drive mechanism can rotate the coupling member and the bushing about the longitudinal axis, and a second retainer position, in which the bushing is removable from the coupling member;
• and
• a depth adjustment mechanism arranged in the housing along the longitudinal axis, the depth adjustment mechanism including a depth stop member and a shaft to which the depth stop member is coupled,
• wherein the shaft is configured to move within the housing as the depth stop member moves between a first position, in which a first distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth, and a second position, in which a second distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth, and
• wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

A wire stripper assembly comprising:

• a first bushing for stripping a wire of a first size, the first bushing having a first color;
• a second bushing for stripping a wire of a second size that is different than the first size, the second bushing having a second color that is different than the first color;
• a wire stripper including
• a housing to which the first bushing and the second bushing are alternately coupled,
• a drive mechanism configured to rotate one of the first bushing or the second bushing about a longitudinal axis,
• the drive mechanism including a motor defining a rotation axis, and
• a depth adjustment mechanism arranged in the housing along the longitudinal axis, the depth adjustment mechanism including a depth stop member and a shaft to
• which the depth stop member is coupled,
• wherein each of the first and second bushings has a tooth engageable with a wire for stripping an insulation jacket therefrom,
• wherein the shaft is configured to move within the housing as the depth stop member moves between a first position, in which a first distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth, and a second position, in which a second distance is defined between the depth stop member and the tooth, and
• wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.
