Ideal Industries 45-165 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable diameter range will the Ideal 45-165 Ringer stripper handle?
The Ideal Ringer cable stripper, model 45-165, works on round cable from .187 inch (4.8mm) up to .313 inch (8mm) in diameter. That covers the outer jacket on most small round cables as well as inner conductors in that same range. Anything larger than .313 inch will not seat correctly in the tool.
2) Can I control how deep the blade cuts so I don't nick the conductor?
Yes, that is the point of the adjustable blade depth setting on the 45-165 Ringer. You dial the depth to the jacket thickness of the cable you are running, so the blade parts the jacket without scoring the insulation underneath. The slitting blade also has a rounded edge to limit damage to the cable as it runs the length cut.
3) What does the .240 inch blade spacing on the Ringer stripper actually do for me?
The two blades sit .240 inch (6.1mm) apart, which sets the width of the strip you take out. That spacing is meant for two-step strips and window strips, where you ring the jacket in two places and lift out the band between them rather than pulling the whole jacket off the end. Useful for mid-run taps and for exposing a conductor without cutting the cable.
4) What replacement blades does the Ideal 45-165 Ringer stripper take?
It takes Ideal L-9225 replacement blades. Stocking a pack of those alongside the tool is worth doing if crews are stripping cable daily, since a dull blade is what starts nicking conductors. The blade is the only wear part you need to plan around on this stripper.
5) Is the Ringer stripper the right tool for ringing a cable jacket, or should I use a regular wire stripper?
Different jobs. A conventional wire stripper pulls insulation off the end of a single conductor at a set gauge. The Ringer 45-165 is for round cable jacket work: it rings the jacket circumferentially and slits it lengthwise so you can remove the outer sheath and get at the conductors inside. If you are stripping individual THHN conductors to gauge, you want a standard stripper. If you are opening up round cable between .187 and .313 inch, this is the tool.
6) Is the Ideal 45-165 suitable for low voltage and telecom cable, or just building power wiring?
Both, as long as the cable falls in the .187 to .313 inch diameter band. Ideal lists it for electrical contractor work, commercial and residential wiring, industrial maintenance, telecommunications cabling, control panel assembly, and field service. Small round data and control cable sits comfortably in that diameter range, which is where the adjustable depth setting earns its keep.
7) How many versions of the Ideal Ringer adjustable stripper are there, and which part number do I order?
One part number: 45-165, the black adjustable blade Ringer stripper. There are no finish or size variations to pick between, so a single line item covers it whether you are buying one for a van or a dozen for a crew.
