Wire stripper

A tool designed to remove the protective covering off of a cable to expose the inner wires. Because different wires come in different shapes, there are dozens of different wire strippers available. In the picture to the right, is an example of a wire stripper, which strips a cable by placing the cable in-between the blade and one of the ridges and then spun around the cable until the jacket can be pulled off.
