Ideal Industries 45-247 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the IDEAL 45-247 T-Stripper handle?
The 45-247 is set up for solid 12 or 14 AWG copper. It has 12/2 and 14/2 slots, so it strips both conductors of 12-2 or 14-2 Type NM cable at the same time. If you are working 10 AWG or stranded conductors, you want a different stripper.
2) Can one tool strip both conductors of romex at once, or do I have to do them one at a time?
Both at once. The dual-hole design on the IDEAL 45-247 takes the two conductors of NM cable through paired holes and removes insulation from both in a single squeeze, which is why electricians pick it for repetitive device-box work on 12-2 and 14-2 runs.
3) Does the IDEAL 45-247 cut the outer sheathing off NM cable too, or only the conductor insulation?
The 12/2 and 14/2 slots are described as removing the outer jacket of Type NM nonmetallic sheathed cable, and the same tool strips the conductors. One tool covers the jacket and the insulation on those two cable sizes.
4) Will the IDEAL 45-247 give clean square ends for pigtails and device terminations?
Yes. It uses precision staggered shear-type blades for square, clean cuts on solid copper wire, so conductor ends come off without the ragged nick that leads to a break at the screw terminal.
5) Can I form the hook for a screw terminal with this stripper, or do I need a second pair of pliers?
No second tool needed for ordinary device work. The 45-247 has a serrated gripping nose for bending, shaping, and pulling wire, so you can strip and then loop the conductor for a screw terminal with the same tool.
6) Is the IDEAL 45-247 self-opening for fast repetitive stripping?
It has a coil spring that snaps the handles back open after each squeeze. For a trim-out crew doing a few hundred terminations a day, that is the difference between working the tool and fighting it.
