Claims26
A cable stripping tool for a cable having a center pin conductor and an outer insulating jacket, said tool comprising:
- a hand-held body portion including a first jaw;
- a second jaw pivotally connected to said body portion, said second jaw being yieldingly biased toward said body portion;
- said first and second jaws having aligned transverse channels adjacent to one end of said body portion for insertion of an end of a cable to be stripped;
- one of said channels containing spaced apart blade members;
- and
- means for incrementally adjusting one of said blade members to a selected level according to the depth of cut to be made in said end of said cable.
A cable stripping tool for a cable having a center pin conductor and an outer insulating jacket, said tool comprising:
- a hand-held body portion including upper and lower jaw members;
- said upper jaw member pivotally connected to said body portion, means for yieldingly urging said upper jaw member toward said body portion;
- and
- said upper and lower jaw members having aligned transverse channels adjacent to one end of said body portion for insertion of an end of a cable to be stripped, said transverse channel in said lower jaw containing at least one blade member and an incremental blade adjustment member located on an underside and in touching relation to said blade member.
In a coaxial cable stripping tool for a cable having an inner and outer conductive layer, said tool comprising:
- a hand-held base member, said base member including upper and lower jaw members at one end and a circular opening at an opposite end;
- said upper jaw member pivotally connected and yieldingly biased toward said lower jaw member;
- said upper and lower jaw members having aligned transverse channels for insertion of an end of a cable, said lower jaw member containing at least one spaced apart blade member;
- means for incrementally adjusting said blade member to a selected level according to the depth of cut to be made in said end of said cable;
- and
- means for indicating the depth of cut to be made in said end of said cable.
