Ideal Industries 45-112 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges will the Ideal 45-112 wire stripper handle?
The 45-112 has stripping holes calibrated for 12/2-AWG and 14/2-AWG cable plus solid 12-AWG and 14-AWG conductors. That covers the bulk of branch circuit work (15 and 20 amp residential and commercial runs). If you routinely strip smaller control or signal wire down in the 18 to 22 AWG range, this one won't cover it and you want a stripper with a wider gauge set.
2) Can I use the Ideal 45-112 as my only stripper for device and panel wiring?
For 14 and 12 AWG device and panel wiring, yes, it is the working range the tool is calibrated for. Receptacles, switches, fixture whips, and breaker terminations on 15 and 20 amp circuits all fall inside it. Anything outside 12 and 14 AWG, such as 10 AWG and larger feeders or small control wire, needs a second stripper.
3) Is the Ideal 45-112 a 9 inch tool, and does that length matter inside a panel?
Overall length is 9 inches, which gives you leverage for cutting and stripping but also means it is a full-size hand tool. Working deep in a crowded load center or a shallow device box, that length can be awkward; for tight device-box work a shorter stripper is easier to turn over. For panel wiring, feeder prep, and bench work the 9 inch body is the advantage, because you get more leverage on 12 AWG.
4) Will the Ideal 45-112 strip NM-B romex sheathing, or only the individual conductors?
The stripping holes on the 45-112 are sized for 12/2-AWG and 14/2-AWG cable as well as individual 12 and 14 AWG conductors, so it is set up for both the cable sizes and the single conductors inside them. For long runs of outer NM jacket most electricians still reach for a dedicated cable ripper, then use the 45-112 to take the insulation off each conductor without nicking it.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Ideal 9 inch forged wire stripper?
Order it as Ideal Industries 45-112. That is the manufacturer part number and the single configuration offered: 9 inch, forged, ergonomic Smart-Grip handle. There is no handing, finish, or size choice to specify, so one line item covers it, which makes it easy to standardize across a crew or an MRO crib.
6) Is the 45-112 built well enough for daily production work, or is it a homeowner tool?
Forged heavy duty construction, with an ergonomic Smart-Grip textured handle. Ideal builds it for electricians and techs doing repetitive stripping, so it is aimed at trade use on residential, commercial, and industrial jobs rather than occasional homeowner use. The textured grip is there to cut slippage and hand fatigue over a full day of terminations.
