Greenlee 52040895 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Greenlee 52040895 cable stripper handle both small low-voltage cable and large jacketed feeder cable?
The 52040895 ships with interchangeable cable guides, and swapping guides is what lets the same tool work on small diameter cable and large diameter cable. That covers panel and feeder jacket removal as well as low-voltage and communications cable prep. The cut itself is set by blade height rather than by the guide, so you match the guide to the cable diameter and the blade depth to the jacket thickness.
2) How do I keep from nicking the conductors when stripping cable jacket with this Greenlee tool?
Blade height on the 52040895 is adjustable, so you set the cutting depth to the actual jacket thickness instead of relying on feel. Dial it to just break through the jacket and the blade never reaches the conductor insulation. That repeatability is the reason this style of tool is used for panel prep where a nicked conductor means pulling the whole run again.
3) What blade does the Greenlee 52040895 use, and can I get replacements?
It cuts with a long-life high-carbon steel blade, and the replacement is Greenlee 13544, sold two per package. The tool also has a blade storage pocket in its base, so a spare rides with the tool instead of in the bottom of the bag.
4) Do I need a screwdriver or pliers to start the jacket cut with this stripper?
No. The cable guide on the 52040895 has an integrated hook that starts jacket removal on its own, so you are not switching tools mid-strip. That is the difference between this and a plain fixed-blade jacket knife on repetitive work.
5) Will this Greenlee stripper work on the jacket material on my cable, or is it limited to PVC?
The 52040895 is rated for most jacket materials, which is why it gets used across residential and commercial electrical installs, communications cable and general MRO repair work. Because you set blade depth yourself, a tougher or thicker jacket is handled by adjusting height rather than by changing tools.
6) Is this a round-cable stripper or a wire gauge stripper for cutting conductors to size?
It is a jacket stripping tool, not a gauge-slot wire stripper. The 52040895 removes the outer jacket from cable using an adjustable blade and a guide that follows the cable diameter. If you need to strip individual conductor insulation to a specific AWG, that is a different tool; use this one to open the cable up first.
7) Is the Greenlee 52040895 small enough to carry in a tool pouch every day?
It measures 11.95 inches long, 5.8 inches wide and 1.5 inches high, and packaged weight is 0.545 lb. That is pouch or bag sized for field service work rather than a bench-mounted stripper.
8) What is the Greenlee part number and where is this stripping tool made?
The manufacturer part number is 52040895, and country of origin is Sweden (SE). It is sold as a single model with no finish or size options to specify.
