What happens here

For splicing wires in the middle of a run, the tool can perform mid-span stripping. To do this, simply pass the wire horizontally through the stripping blades and squeeze. The tool will open a section of the insulation, exposing the conductor without cutting the wire itself. This is useful when you need to tap into an existing wire.

Goal: Expose conductor in the middle of a wire for splicing
