UF Cable Stripper · 12/2 to 14/2 AWG solid UF cable · Self-adjusting blades · IDEAL 45-235
Cable stripper for 12/2 to 14/2 AWG solid underground feeder (UF) cable, with self-adjusting blades and open-throat construction for unlimited strip length. Commonly used where clean jacket removal helps reduce conductor nicks and rework on residential and light commercial jobs.
What this product is for
The IDEAL 45-235 is a hand tool for stripping underground feeder (UF) cable, specifically 12/2 to 14/2 AWG solid cable. It is designed to remove the outer sheath and inner insulation cleanly without using a knife for every cut.
Use for
Use it for UF cable preparation on residential and light commercial electrical work, service repairs, outdoor branch circuits, and similar flat cable stripping tasks. The open-throat design supports unlimited strip length, which helps when longer jacket removal is needed.
Avoid for
Avoid using it as a general-purpose stripper for cable types or conductor sizes outside the listed UF range. It is not the right choice when you need a dedicated stripper for round cable, larger conductors, or precision stripping on unsupported cable constructions.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors who regularly work with 12/2 or 14/2 solid UF cable and want faster, more consistent sheath removal with less chance of nicking conductors. This style of tool is typically chosen to improve repeatability compared with manual knife stripping.
Installed in
Used in tool pouches, service kits, and contractor hand-tool sets for field wiring work. Common jobsite applications include outdoor feeds, buried branch circuits, and other installations using UF cable, subject to local code and application requirements.
Why this product exists
UF cable is tougher to strip neatly than standard non-metallic cable, so this tool exists to speed up jacket removal and help protect the conductor insulation underneath. The self-adjusting blade action and ergonomic form are intended to reduce repetitive hand strain during repeated stripping.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a utility knife, this UF cable stripper offers a more controlled stripping method and is commonly used to reduce accidental conductor damage. Compared with general wire strippers, it is purpose-built for flat UF cable and longer sheath removal. Actual ease of use depends on cable condition, temperature, and installer technique.
