Wire stripping pliers, also known simply as wire strippers, are hand tools designed for the purpose of removing insulation or outer covering from electrical wires. These pliers typically feature a set of jaws with specially designed edges or blades that can cut through the insulation without damaging the underlying wire. The primary function of wire stripping pliers is to expose the bare conductor for making electrical connections, such as splicing or terminating wires. These tools often include adjustable settings to accommodate different wire sizes, ensuring precise and efficient stripping without causing damage to the conductor.
