Ideal Industries 45-163 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable diameter range does the IDEAL 45-163 Ringer stripper handle?
The 45-163 Blade Ringer strips round cable jackets and the inner conductors on cable from .125 inch (3.2mm) up to .250 inch (6.4mm) in diameter. Anything larger than a quarter inch OD is outside what this tool is built to ring.
2) Will the IDEAL 45-163 do a two-step strip on coax without cutting the braid?
That's what the .240 inch (6.1mm) blade spacing is for. It sets up a two step or window strip in one pass, and the adjustable blade depth lets you dial each blade down to the jacket or dielectric you want without going through the shield underneath.
3) What replacement blades fit the IDEAL 45-163 Ringer stripper?
Order IDEAL L-9225 replacement blades. Blade Ringer tools dull with use on shielded cable, so keeping a set on the truck avoids chewed jackets mid-job.
4) Does the 45-163 come with a slitting blade for longitudinal cuts?
Yes, a rounded edge slitting blade is included, so you can run a lengthwise slit down the jacket in addition to ringing it. The rounded edge is there to reduce the chance of nicking the conductors underneath as you pull.
5) Can one 45-163 stripper cover several different cable types on a low voltage job?
That's the point of the adjustable depth settings. Rather than a fixed-depth tool matched to one cable, the 45-163 lets you reset blade depth per cable type and size within the .125 to .250 inch diameter window, so a single tool handles a mixed run of coax and round jacketed cable.
6) What is the exact IDEAL part number to order for the blue Blade Ringer stripper?
The manufacturer part number is 45-163, the blue Adjustable Blade Ringer from IDEAL Industries. There is one configuration, so there is no finish or size to specify on the order.
