Greenlee 52068801 Secondary Cable Stripper, Cable-Guided Hook Jaw
The Greenlee 52068801 is a secondary cable stripper built for fast, controlled removal of insulation and jacketing at the cable end. Molded from high-strength nylon in a black finish, this spring-actuated tool uses a cable-guided hook jaw to track the conductor and strip cleanly without nicking the underlying strands. It handles a wide capacity range from 8 AWG up to 750kcmil, making it a versatile addition to any electrician's or lineman's tool bag for termination and connector prep work. With an overall length of 7.5'', it's compact enough for daily pouch or tool bag carry while still delivering the leverage needed for repeatable, consistent stripping results across a broad conductor range.
Key Features
- Capacity: Strips cable from 8 AWG to 750kcmil, covering small branch conductors through large feeder and service cable.
- Durable Construction: High-strength nylon housing resists cracking and wear from daily jobsite use.
- Cable-Guided Hook Jaw: The hook-style jaw guides along the cable end for consistent, controlled stripping depth.
- Spring-Actuated Handle: Spring return action speeds repetitive stripping tasks and reduces hand fatigue during high-volume work.
- Compact Footprint: Overall length of 7.5'' keeps the tool easy to store in a pouch or tool bag.
- Finish: Black finish for a durable, low-glare exterior.
- Serviceable Design: Replacement blades (03961) and an end plug (05328) are available so the tool can be maintained rather than replaced.
