Ideal Industries 45-121 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauges does the Ideal T-6 T-Stripper handle?
The Ideal 45-121 T-6 T-Stripper strips solid wire from 14 to 24 AWG and stranded wire from 16 to 26 AWG. Note the two ranges are offset: the solid side goes heavier (14 AWG) while the stranded side goes finer (26 AWG). If most of your work is 12 AWG solid branch circuit wire, this is not the right T-Stripper size.
2) Will this wire stripper work for low-voltage and control wiring, or only building wire?
The 14-24 AWG solid / 16-26 AWG stranded range covers control circuits, thermostat and telecom wire, and automotive work as well as residential and commercial branch wiring. The 26 AWG stranded end is what makes it usable on fine signal and data conductors.
3) Do I need a separate cutter and pliers if I carry the Ideal T-6 T-Stripper?
Not for basic terminations. The T-6 has built-in looping holes for forming wire around screw terminals, integrated wire cutters, and a plier nose, so stripping, cutting, and bending pigtails happen in one tool on the belt.
4) Will this stripper nick the conductor on solid copper?
The T-6 uses precision-ground, form-ground knife-type blades with a dedicated hole for each gauge, which is what keeps it from scoring the conductor when the right hole is used. Laser-etched gauge markings on the jaw make picking that hole quick in a panel with poor light.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Ideal T-6 T-Stripper?
Order Ideal Industries model 45-121. That is the manufacturer part number for the T-6 T-Stripper covering 14-24 AWG solid. Ideal builds the T-Stripper line in a range of gauge spans, so quoting 45-121 specifically is what keeps you from getting a heavier-gauge version.
6) Is the Ideal 45-121 T-Stripper durable enough for daily field use?
It is steel with a corrosion-resistant black oxide finish, and the handles are spring-loaded so the jaws return open on their own, which cuts hand fatigue over a long day of terminations. Black oxide helps in damp or outdoor work but it is a coating, not stainless.
