Abstract
A coaxial cable stripper (FIG. 1) has a tubular body 10 locating a cable guide 40. One part of the body 26 is hinged at 24 and carries cutters 34 36 38 which project through a window in the body so that as the part 26 is moved angularly the cutters can bite into the cable supported at 48 on the cable guide and to different depths according to the relative projection of the blades. The axial spacing of the cutters is dictated by pacing pieces between the blades. The angular position is controlled by a ratchet 20. The tool is turned about the cable to make encircling cuts and then pulled axially of the cable to strip off the sheathing.
