Wire Stripper/Cutter · 6-14 AWG solid, 8-16 AWG stranded · Reflex ergonomic handle with bolt cutter holes · IDEAL Industries 45-618
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 45-618 Reflex Super T-Stripper is a manual wire stripper and cutter for electricians who need clean stripping on common building-wire sizes. It is designed for 6-14 AWG solid and 8-16 AWG stranded conductors, with precision stripping holes, a narrow plier nose, and shear-cut bolt cutter holes.
Use for
Use for stripping solid and stranded copper conductors during device make-up, panel work, control wiring, and general electrical service. The narrow plier nose helps with twisting and holding conductors in tighter spaces, while the 6-32 and 8-32 shear-cut holes help trim device screws on site.
Avoid for
Avoid using this tool on live circuits, large conductors outside the listed AWG range, or applications that require insulated or VDE-rated hand tools. It is also not the right choice for automatic stripping of mixed cable types where a self-adjusting stripper is preferred.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams who prefer a fixed-gauge stripper for repeatable work on common branch-circuit and control conductors. This style is typically chosen when speed, feel, and conductor protection matter more than multi-function bulk.
Installed in
Used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work. Common jobsite use includes receptacles, switches, luminaires, junction boxes, control panels, and service calls.
Why this product exists
This tool exists to give electricians a fast, consistent way to strip insulation without nicking conductors. The curved Reflex handle, textured sleeves, and Thumb-Valley thumb rest are intended to improve grip and reduce wrist fatigue during repeated stripping tasks.
Compared with similar products
Compared with basic stamped strippers, this model adds ergonomic curved handles, a thumb rest, a locking mechanism, and a narrow plier nose for better control. Compared with self-adjusting strippers, it offers a fixed-hole format that many electricians prefer for predictable stripping on known conductor sizes.
