Overview and Core Capabilities

The two-level coaxial prep and sliding depth gauge work in concert to simplify setup, pre-measuring cable length for fast, accurate strips while enabling easy debris clean-out. High-carbon steel blades are built to stand up to repeated use and automatically adjust to different cable diameters, delivering clean, consistent cuts. The tool’s bright, highly visible color aids in quick identification when tools are scattered across a workbench or truck.
