An insulation-stripping tool designed as a hand tool for stripping insulation from a cable, comprising:
- a first insulation-stripping cutter configured for stripping the insulation transversely to a longitudinal direction of the cable, and
- a second insulation-stripping cutter configured for stripping the insulation in the longitudinal direction of the cable,
- wherein the first insulation-stripping cutter is mounted to a pivoting body for pivoting movement about a pivot axis between a first cutting engagement position and a first release position,
- wherein the insulation-stripping tool comprises a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity having a longitudinal direction and being configured for receiving the cable such that the longitudinal direction of the cable extends along the longitudinal direction of the receiving cavity,
- wherein the second insulation-stripping cutter is formed on the pivoting body and is pivotable about the pivot axis,
- wherein the second insulation-stripping cutter is offset circumferentially to the first insulation-stripping cutter of the pivoting body in such a manner that a pivoting of the pivoting body by approximately 90 degrees brings about a change of the first insulation-stripping cutter into the first release position and a change of the second insulation-stripping cutter from a second release position into a second cutting engagement position.
An insulation-stripping tool designed as a hand tool configured for stripping insulation from a cable, comprising:
- a receiving cavity configured for receiving the cable;
- a first insulation-stripping cutter configured for stripping the insulation transversely to a longitudinal direction of the cable, and
- a second insulation-stripping cutter configured for stripping the insulation in the longitudinal direction of the cable,
- wherein the first insulation-stripping cutter is pivotably mounted for movement between a first cutting engagement position and a first release position,
- wherein the first insulation-stripping cutter and the second insulation-stripping cutter are mounted in the receiving cavity so as to come into interaction with the cable when the cable is received in the receiving cavity,
- and
- wherein, with the insulation-stripping tool held stationary, a pulling force acting on the cable in the longitudinal direction sufficient to product movement of the cable through the insulation-stripping tool moves the first insulation stripping cutter from the first cutting engagement position to the first release position, and
- wherein the first and second insulation-stripping cutters are coupled such that pivoting the first insulation-stripping cutter from the first cutting engagement position to the first release position causes the second insulation cutter to pivot from a second release position to a second cutting engagement position.
A method for stripping insulation from a cable using an insulation-stripping tool configured as a hand tool, wherein the insulation-stripping tool comprises a first insulation-stripping cutter and a second insulation-stripping cutter, the method comprising:
- bringing the first insulation-stripping cutter into engagement with the insulation of the cable in a closed position of the hand tool,
- stripping the insulation in a circumferential direction by turning the cable about a longitudinal axis of the cable,
- and pulling on the cable while maintaining the closed position of the hand tool to obtain pivoting displacement of the first insulation-stripping cutter into a release position while pivoting the second insulation-stripping cutter into a cutting engagement position.
