Wire Stripper · 10-18 AWG solid, 12-20 AWG stranded · Kinetic Super T-Stripper · IDEAL 45-715
What this product is for
The IDEAL 45-715 is a manual wire stripper for removing insulation from 10-18 AWG solid conductors and 12-20 AWG stranded conductors. It is suited to electricians and maintenance staff doing device terminations, panel work, control wiring, and general branch-circuit preparation.
Use for
Use for stripping common copper building wire sizes, trimming conductors, and preparing loops for screws and terminals. This size range is commonly used on 15A and 20A circuits, where #14 AWG and #12 AWG are typical branch-circuit conductor sizes in trade work.
Avoid for
Avoid using this tool outside its listed wire range, on large cable, or where a dedicated cable jacket stripper or heavy-duty cutter is required. It is not a substitute for insulated live-working tools.
Best for
Best for electricians who prefer a T-stripper style hand tool for repeated stripping on solid and stranded conductors. The Kinetic Super pattern is intended to improve grip comfort and control during repetitive work.
Installed in
Typically used on residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work, including receptacles, switches, luminaires, control panels, and equipment terminations. As a rule of thumb, the supported range covers many common low-voltage control and branch-circuit conductor sizes, but actual suitability depends on conductor type and insulation.
Why this product exists
This tool exists to give clean, repeatable stripping without nicking conductors when working within its rated gauge range. It combines stripping functions with cutting capability in one hand tool to reduce tool changes on site.
Compared with similar products
Compared with broader-range or needle-nose stripper designs, this model focuses on the T-stripper format and the 10-18 AWG solid / 12-20 AWG stranded range. Choose it when those wire sizes match your day-to-day work and you want a dedicated manual stripper rather than a multi-function plier-style tool.
