Ideal Industries 45-144 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size cable can the IDEAL 45-144 slitting and ringing tool handle?
The IDEAL 45-144 strips or slits the outer jacket on larger diameter round cable up to 1.75 inches. It handles both ring cuts around the jacket and lengthwise slits down the run, which is what you need when you are opening up a big feeder or service cable to get at the conductors.
2) Will the 45-144 cut into the conductors underneath the jacket?
Blade depth is adjustable on the 45-144, so you set it to the jacket thickness and score only the sheath. That adjustment is the whole point of the tool on larger cable, where a utility knife tends to nick insulation. Set the depth on a scrap piece first and the conductors stay untouched.
3) What replacement blades fit the IDEAL 45-144 cable slitting tool?
Replacement blades for the 45-144 are IDEAL LB-1748, sold two blades per card. A spare blade also ships inside the handle of the tool, so you have one change on hand out of the box.
4) Where is the spare blade stored on the 45-144?
Inside the handle. Move the pin dowel to open the spare blade storage hole and the blade comes out. Techs who buy LB-1748 cards can keep extras in there so a dull blade on a lift does not stop the job.
5) Do I need a separate tool for ringing and for slitting cable jacket?
No. The IDEAL 45-144 does both operations. A ring cut takes the jacket off the end of the cable, a lengthwise slit opens it along the run for a splice or a midspan tap, and the same head handles each with the depth set once.
6) Is the IDEAL 45-144 the right tool for small building wire, or is it meant for heavy cable?
It is built for the larger stuff, jackets on round cable up to 1.75 inches diameter. For stripping individual small-gauge building wire or terminating branch circuit conductors, a standard wire stripper is the correct tool. The 45-144 earns its place on service entrance, feeder, and larger multiconductor cable where a stripper will not reach around the jacket.
