Ideal Industries 45-162 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I set the strip depth on the IDEAL Ringer so I don't nick the conductor?
Yes. The 45-162 has adjustable blade depth settings, so you dial the cut depth in for the specific jacket you are working on rather than relying on a fixed blade. That is the difference between it and a fixed-depth ringing tool, and it is why one tool covers multiple cable types and sizes on the same job.
2) What replacement blades fit the IDEAL 45-162 Ringer stripper?
Order L-9225 replacement blades. Blades are a wear item on any ringing tool, so a low-voltage or telecom crew running the 45-162 daily should keep a set on the truck.
3) Is the 45-162 Ringer the right tool for stripping THHN building wire?
No. The Ringer is built for round cable jackets and inner conductors up to .125 inch diameter, which is coax and low-voltage work. For sizing and stripping individual building conductors you want a gauged wire stripper, not an adjustable-depth ringing tool.
4) What is the blade spacing on the 45-162 and what strip does it give me?
Blade spacing is .240 inch (6.1mm), which is what lets the tool do a two-step or window strip in one pass instead of measuring and cutting twice. Useful when you are terminating coax connectors that need a set jacket-and-braid exposure.
5) Does the IDEAL 45-162 come with a slitting blade for longitudinal cuts?
It does. A rounded edge slitting blade is included, so you can run a lengthwise slit down the jacket as well as ring it. The rounded edge is what keeps the slit from digging into the conductors underneath.
6) Is the IDEAL Ringer 45-162 a single model or are there multiple versions to pick from?
There is one configuration, the gray adjustable blade Ringer, ordered as IDEAL part number 45-162. No handing, size, or finish choice to make when you order it.
