What happens here

When you need to create a splice in the middle of a wire or expose the conductor to check voltage without cutting the wire, the self-adjusting stripper can be used. Position the wire horizontally into the stripping mechanism, ensuring the insulation is centered in the jaws at the desired location. Squeeze the handles firmly but gently. The tool will cut the insulation around the circumference and allow you to pull it away, cleanly exposing a section of the conductor. This technique is invaluable for inline diagnostics or creating T-splices.

Goal: Strip insulation from the middle of a wire for splicing or voltage checks.

all right Gary what are we looking at self adjusting wire stripper these automatically adjust your wire size up to 10 gauge maybe doing a small wires thermostat control LED wires for a time without nicking them uh maybe you want to splice in the middle of a wire check a voltage you can go right in the middle of the wire open up nice and clean now if you're doing a trailer light repair go right back again both at the same time without nicking them cutters here if you're in a tight spot maybe you're under a dash or in a compartment where you got a short wire our stripple fits
