Overview
- The versatile Stripmaster®/Stripmaster® Lite Wire Strippers are the standard of the industry. They incorporate a gripper that firmly holds the wire in a center-line position with the stripping hole. The lever action of the stripper offers a mechanical advantage that makes stripping easier. This aids in production applications and reduces operator fatigue. One squeeze strips the wire clean, up to a full 7/8 in. (22mm). The jaws are automatically held open to allow removal of the wire without damaging its end. This stripper virtually eliminates all nicking, cutting or fraying on non-precision wire.
Features
- Precision-ground, knife-type blades provide clean, accurate stripping
- Sturdy die-cast zinc frame provides long-term durability
- One-step stripping enhances productivity

Ideal Industries LB-1155 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much insulation can the IDEAL Stripmaster LB-1155 remove in one squeeze?
One squeeze of the Stripmaster LB-1155 strips up to a full 7/8 in. (22mm) of insulation clean off the conductor. The lever action gives you the mechanical advantage, so you are not twisting or pulling the wire to get the jacket off, which is what makes it workable for repetitive production stripping without wearing your hand out.
2) Will the Stripmaster nick or score the copper when stripping wire?
The LB-1155 uses precision-ground knife-type blades and a gripper that holds the wire centered in the stripping hole, which virtually eliminates nicking, cutting or fraying on non-precision wire. Centering matters here, off-center wire is where nicks come from on hand strippers.
3) Do I have to pull the wire out of the jaws after stripping?
No. The jaws on the Stripmaster are automatically held open after the strip, so the wire lifts straight out without dragging the conductor end across the blades. That is the detail that protects the stripped end on fine-stranded wire.
4) Is the IDEAL Stripmaster tough enough for daily use on a job site or production bench?
The frame is die-cast zinc, built for long-term durability rather than a stamped sheet-metal handle. It is the tool electricians and panel shops run all day, and the one-step stripping action is specifically aimed at cutting operator fatigue on high-count terminations.
5) What is the difference between a Stripmaster and a standard plier-style wire stripper?
A plier-style stripper relies on you picking the right notch and pulling the jacket off by hand, which is where nicked strands and fraying come from. The Stripmaster LB-1155 grips the wire, holds it on center with the stripping hole, and strips in one squeeze with lever assist. If you are doing a handful of terminations, a plier stripper is fine. If you are building panels or pulling a lot of device terminations in a day, the one-step action is what you want.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the IDEAL Stripmaster wire stripper?
Order it as IDEAL Industries LB-1155. That is the full model designation, there are no finish or size options to specify with it.
