Wire strippers suggestions (factory production environment)

[Cicero]

Hi chaps,

I'm looking for suggestions for a good set of wire strippers for flat 2 core mains cable, as seen in the picture below.

In our factory on the assembly line we're having some issues stripping them reliably. We have been using these types of strippers up until now, https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/products/0613044/?tpr=1 . They're ok, but I'm looking for a tool which is more reliable and efficient for the environment.

Will appreciate your tool suggestions.

This kind of stripper can handle flat cables, both the secondary isolation and the multiple single insulated cores at the same time. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Ha...ools/sd170/C.K+Automatic+Wire+Stripper/p42984

I have seen "hot wire" strippers that work on cables like that.

Get these:

They have laminated, cushioned jaws that adapt to different cable profiles and they are overall excellent.

My set has just worn out (to the point it's falling apart) after over 30 years of regular use; I'm looking for another of the smaller one myself.

Thanks, will check those all out.

I use one of these. Similar products are available from other makers.

Hi Kubeek, thanks for the suggestion, bought one of these and they're pretty happy with them on the line. Also very cheap for some reason?! Cheers
