Hand Tool Cuts, Strips and Crimps

John Sprovieri
April 29, 2024

The Stripax Plus hand tool can cut, strip and crimp single wires with cross-sections ranging from 20 to 14 AWG. Wire-end ferrules are stored in a magazine in the tool’s handle and are automatically transported to the crimping die. Adjustments for different cross-sections are made automatically; no manual adjustment is required. The stripping unit is self-adjusting, and strip length is adjustable via an end stop.
