Ideal Industries 45-327 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the IDEAL 45-327 Maxim stripper need to be adjusted for each wire gauge?
No. The 45-327 Maxim uses self-adjusting blades, so the jaws conform to the conductor as you close the handles instead of you dialing in a gauge slot. That is the practical difference between it and a fixed-hole stripper: faster on a panel or device box where you are moving between conductor sizes, and no re-setting between strips.
2) Can you set a repeatable strip length on the IDEAL Maxim 45-327?
Yes. Strip length is adjustable from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch, so you can set it once to match a terminal block, device screw, or wirenut depth and get the same length strip every time. That range covers most device terminations as well as longer pigtails.
3) Do I need separate cutters, or will the 45-327 cut the wire too?
A wire cutter is built into the tool, so one hand tool strips and cuts. IDEAL states it cuts cleanly through all types of cables and wires, which means you are not carrying a second pair of cutters for rough-in or trim-out work.
4) What are the blades on the IDEAL 45-327 made of, and will they hold an edge in daily use?
Carbon steel, hardened, tempered and polished. IDEAL calls that out specifically to increase blade life, which is the spec that matters if this is a tool an electrician is using all day rather than occasionally.
5) Is the Maxim 45-327 a wire stripper or a crimper?
It is a wire stripper with an integrated cutter. Stripping and cutting are what it does; terminal crimping is a separate tool. The part number to order is IDEAL Industries 45-327.
6) Is there more than one version of the IDEAL Maxim stripper to choose from?
The Maxim stripper is sold as a single model, 45-327. There is no handing, finish, or size choice to specify, so one part number covers the order.
