Ideal Industries 45-113 Heavy-Duty Long-Nose Wire Stripper, 10-18 AWG Solid

The Ideal Industries 45-113 Heavy-Duty Long-Nose Wire Stripper is a purpose-built hand tool designed for electricians and technicians who need fast, precise stripping in tight panel and junction box spaces. This long-nose stripper is calibrated for 10-18 AWG solid conductors and 12-20 AWG stranded conductors, making it a versatile choice for residential, commercial, and industrial wiring tasks. The heavy-duty construction is engineered to withstand daily jobsite use while delivering clean, consistent strips that protect conductor integrity and reduce callbacks from nicked or damaged wire.

Key Features

  • Wire Gauge Range: Precisely calibrated stripping holes accommodate 10-18 AWG solid conductors and 12-20 AWG stranded conductors, covering the most common gauges used in branch circuit and control wiring.
  • Long-Nose Design: The elongated nose profile allows technicians to reach into crowded panels, deep boxes, and tight enclosures where standard-length strippers cannot easily access the conductor.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Built for demanding daily use on commercial and industrial jobsites, the 45-113 is designed to hold up to repeated stripping, cutting, and cycling without losing precision.
  • Clean, Consistent Strips: Properly sized stripping notches for each gauge help ensure the insulation is removed cleanly without nicking or weakening the conductor strands, supporting reliable terminations and connections.
  • Multi-Gauge Versatility: A single tool covers both solid and stranded wire across a wide gauge range, reducing the number of separate strippers an electrician needs to carry on the job.

Technical Specifications

  • Solid Wire Range: 10-18 AWG
  • Stranded Wire Range: 12-20 AWG

Ideal Industries 45-113 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ideal 45-113 wire stripper handle 12 AWG solid THHN for branch circuit work?
Yes. The Ideal 45-113 is calibrated for 10-18 AWG solid conductors, so 12 AWG solid sits mid-range in its stripping holes. For stranded conductors the range shifts to 12-20 AWG, so 10 AWG stranded is outside what this tool is notched for.
2) Can I strip 14 AWG stranded control wire with the Ideal 45-113?
Yes, 14 AWG stranded falls inside the 12-20 AWG stranded range the 45-113 is calibrated for. The notches are sized per gauge so the insulation comes off without nicking strands, which matters on control panel terminations where a cut strand shows up later as a loose connection.
3) What is the point of the long-nose design on the Ideal 45-113 stripper?
The elongated nose lets you reach a conductor down inside a crowded panelboard, a deep box, or a tight enclosure where a standard-length stripper cannot get to the wire. That is the main reason to pick the 45-113 over a conventional short-jaw stripper for load center and junction box work.
4) Is one wire stripper enough for both solid and stranded wire on a jobsite?
The 45-113 covers both: 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded in a single tool, which is why electricians carry it instead of separate strippers for branch circuit and control wiring. Where it does not cover you is large feeders above 10 AWG solid and fine gauges below 20 AWG stranded.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Ideal long-nose stripper?
Order it as Ideal Industries model 45-113. That is the manufacturer part number, and the tool ships as a single configuration, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
6) Is the Ideal 45-113 suitable for daily commercial and industrial use or just occasional work?
It is built as a heavy-duty tool for repeated daily stripping, cutting and cycling on commercial and industrial jobs, not an occasional-use stripper. Typical use covers panelboards and load centers, residential and commercial branch circuits, control panel and junction box terminations, industrial maintenance, and both renovation and new construction wiring.
