Ideal Industries 45-415 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this stripper work for low voltage thermostat and data wire, or just power wiring?
It goes down to 20 AWG on stranded and 18 AWG on solid, so 18 AWG thermostat cable and 18-20 AWG stranded control conductors are within range. Ideal calls out telecom and HVAC control wiring as intended uses. What it will not do is fine 22-24 AWG telecom pairs or Cat cable conductors, which fall below the smallest notch. For that you want a dedicated small-gauge stripper.
2) Can I cut screws or bolts with the 45-415, or do I need a separate tool in the pouch?
Shear-cut bolt cutters are built into the 45-415, so you can take down 6-32 and 8-32 box and device screws without reaching for another tool. It also has a narrow plier nose for gripping and twisting conductors inside a crowded box. Between those two, most rough-in and device trim-out gets done with the one tool.
3) What is the difference between the Reflex Premium T-Stripper and a standard T-Stripper?
The Reflex version adds the ergonomics. You get curved handles to cut wrist strain on long days, textured cushion grip sleeves, the patented Thumb-Valley thumb guide that focuses your stripping force, and the Pocket-Locket mechanism that keeps the tool closed and held if it slips out of your hand. The stripping notches themselves still do the same job: 10-18 AWG solid, 12-20 AWG stranded, color coded for gauge.
4) Which part number do I order to standardize my crews on this stripper?
Order Ideal Industries 45-415. That is the single model for the Reflex Premium T-Stripper covering 10-18 AWG solid and 12-20 AWG stranded, so there is no handing, size, or finish choice to specify. One part number per tech keeps the fleet consistent.
5) Is this stripper made in the USA?
Yes. Ideal Industries builds the T-Stripper line at its Sycamore, Illinois plant. That matters for institutional and government buyers working under domestic-sourcing purchasing rules.
6) How do I get a clean strip without nicking the conductor?
Match the notch to the gauge using the color-coded reference on the tool, seat the wire fully in that notch, then close with even pressure and pull straight off. Using an oversized notch leaves insulation behind; an undersized one nicks the copper, which is where conductors break later at the device screw. The Thumb-Valley guide is there to keep your force in line with the jaws rather than twisting them.
