Ideal Industries 45-615 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauges will the Ideal 45-615 Reflex Super T-Stripper handle?
The Reflex Super T-Stripper strips 8-16 AWG solid and 10-18 AWG stranded. Two separate ranges, so if you are working 12 and 14 AWG solid branch circuit wire it is squarely in range, and stranded control or fixture wire down to 18 AWG is covered as well. Anything smaller than 18 AWG stranded or larger than 8 AWG solid needs a different stripper.
2) Does this Ideal wire stripper cut machine screws for device installation?
It does. The Reflex Super T-Stripper has self-chasing 6/32 and 8/32 screw-cutting holes, which are the two screw sizes used for switch and receptacle mounting and for device plates. Thread the screw through, cut, and the hole re-chases the thread so it still starts in the box. That saves carrying a separate screw cutter when you are trimming long device screws down in a shallow box.
3) What is the difference between the Reflex Super T-Stripper and a standard T-Stripper?
The stripping slots are the same idea, but the Reflex version adds the ergonomics: curved handles, textured non-slip grips with extra cushioning, and the Thumb-Valley thumb guide that focuses hand pressure into the cut. If you are stripping a few wires a week, a plain T-Stripper does the job. If you are trimming out panels or a whole floor of devices all day, the curved handle and cushioned grip are what keep your wrist working by the afternoon.
4) Which Ideal part number do I order for the Reflex Super T-Stripper, and is it one model only?
Order model 45-615. That is the single configuration of the Reflex Super T-Stripper covering 8-16 AWG solid and 10-18 AWG stranded, so there is no handing, size, or finish choice to specify on the order. Useful if you are standardizing a crew or an MRO crib on one stripper part number.
5) Will this wire stripper work for low voltage data and network cable?
The Reflex Super T-Stripper is built around stripping individual copper conductors, 8-16 AWG solid and 10-18 AWG stranded, and Ideal lists telecommunications and data cable preparation among its uses. Category data pairs are typically 22 to 24 AWG, which is below the marked stranded range, so for stripping individual data conductors a dedicated low voltage stripper is the better call. Use this one for the larger conductors on the same job.
6) Can I twist and pull wires with this stripper, or do I still need lineman's pliers?
The Reflex Super T-Stripper has a narrow plier nose for holding and twisting wire, which handles pigtailing and pulling conductors around in a crowded box or a tight ceiling can. It is a light-duty nose, not a replacement for lineman's pliers on heavy work, but it means you are not swapping tools for every connection. It also includes shear-cut bolt cutters for slicing bolts cleanly.
7) Is there anything on this Ideal stripper to keep it from dropping off a ladder?
Yes. The Pocket-Locket mechanism holds the stripper closed and secured when it slips from your hand or when it is clipped in a pocket, which matters when you are working off a ladder or a lift. The color-coded gauge reference on the jaw also helps you pick the right slot by eye without bringing the tool up to your face in poor light.
