Precision stripping pliers designed for the form-fitting stripping of difficult-to-remove insulating materials such as PTFE, silicone, Radox, Kapton, and rubber, including multi-layer insulations. A second pair of blades securely holds the remaining insulation in place. Replaceable form blades are precisely matched to the respective conductor cross-section. The tool has capabilities for half-moon, square connections, stepped squares, triangular, and clamping areas for hexagonal, round, and square materials, as well as span widths.
