avmantlingsverktøy

An avmantlingsverktøy, often translated as a stripping tool or cable stripper, is a hand tool used to remove the outer insulation or sheathing from electrical wires without damaging the inner conductors. These tools are essential for electricians, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts when working with electrical wiring for installations, repairs, or connections.

The design of an avmantlingsverktøy typically involves blades that are precisely calibrated to cut through the insulation layer. Many modern stripping tools feature adjustable jaws or depth stops to accommodate wires of different gauges and insulation thicknesses. This adjustability prevents nicking or cutting the delicate copper or aluminum wires inside. Some models use a rotary cutting action, while others employ a plier-like clamping mechanism.

Different types of avmantlingsverktøy exist to suit various applications. Basic models might be suitable for simple wire stripping, whereas more specialized tools are designed for coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, or specific types of insulation. Automatic wire strippers are also available, which can adjust to different wire sizes and strip insulation quickly with a single action. Proper use of an avmantlingsverktøy ensures safe and reliable electrical connections by preserving the integrity of the conductors.
