Ideal Industries 45-621 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire does the Ideal 45-621 Super T-Stripper actually strip?
The Ideal Reflex Super T-Stripper model 45-621 is set up for 12-2 and 14-2 AWG solid NM cable. That covers the two conductor sizes most residential branch circuits run on, so it handles receptacle, switch, and lighting circuit rough-in without swapping tools. If your work is mostly stranded conductors or control wire outside that range, this is not the stripper for it.
2) Will this Ideal T-Stripper work on stranded wire?
No. The 45-621 T-Stripper's stripping holes are cut for 12-2 and 14-2 AWG solid NM cable. Stranded conductors of the same nominal gauge have a different outside diameter, so a stripper indexed to solid wire will either nick strands or leave insulation behind. For stranded work, order a stripper marked for stranded gauges.
3) Can I use this wire stripper inside a crowded device box?
That is what the narrow plier nose is for. The 45-621 has a slim nose profile so you can grab and twist conductors in a packed 4-square or a tight old-work box, and the curved handle with textured non-slip grips keeps control when your hand is at an odd angle. It doubles as a plier for pigtailing, so you are not reaching for a second tool at every box.
4) Which Ideal part number do I order for the Reflex Super T-Stripper for 12-2 and 14-2 NM?
Order Ideal Industries 45-621. It is a single-model item, no finish or size options to specify, and it comes ready to use with no separate blades or accessories to add.
5) Is this the right tool for a property maintenance crew doing outlet and switch replacements?
For 12-2 and 14-2 NM work it fits well. Receptacle swaps, switch replacements, and fixture whips in apartments and homes are almost all 14 AWG and 12 AWG solid, which is exactly the 45-621's range, and the plier nose handles the conductor twisting at the same time. Crews standardizing tool kits across a portfolio can buy one model for all standard branch-circuit device work.
6) What is the Thumb-Valley on the Ideal Reflex stripper and does it matter for all-day use?
It's a patented thumb guide molded into the handle that seats your thumb in one spot and directs your grip force into the cut. For an electrician stripping a few hundred conductors a day on a rough-in, that plus the curved handle is what keeps wrist strain and hand fatigue down. It is a comfort and repetitive-stress feature, not a change to the stripping range.
7) Does this stripper stay closed in a pouch?
Yes, the Pocket-Locket mechanism latches the handles shut so the tool does not spring open in a pouch or pocket. Practical detail if you carry it on a belt up a ladder, and it is one less open blade in the bag for a facilities or MRO crew.
