A cable stripping tool for electrical cables

A cable stripping tool for use with electrical cables comprising an inner core and an outer sheath, said cable stripping tool comprising:

• a body including a cable retaining portion having a rotational axis defined therethrough, wherein the cable retaining portion is configured to receive a cable such that a longitudinal axis of the cable is coaxial with the rotational axis;
• and
• first and second cutting blades movable transversely relative to the rotational axis between a retracted position and a cutting position, the first and second cutting blades each having a blade edge;
• wherein the blade edge of the first and second cutting blades are axially spaced from each other relative to the rotational axis and are arranged such that, in the cutting position, the first cutting blade is spaced a first radial distance from the rotational axis and the second cutting blade is spaced a second radial distance from the rotational axis that is greater than the first radial distance, wherein the cable stripping tool is rotatable about the rotational axis when the first and second cutting blades are in the cutting position to cause the first and second cutting blades to cut the outer sheath around an entire circumference of the cable.
