Ideal's industry standard Custom Stripmaster gets an update
Keywords: Hand tools
Global production tools manufacturer Ideal Industries' has launched the new Ergo-Elite Stripmaster handheld wire stripping tool for the aerospace industry. The new wire stripper is an improved version of Ideal's Custom Stripmaster. Ergo-Elite has been ergonomically engineered to deliver more precise strips with better balance and comfort for the operator. An innovative “one size” gripping pad makes the product suitable for use with wire gauges from 10 to 26 AWG.
The body of the new Ergo-Elite StripmasterÆ is made from rigid polyurethane reinforced with carbon fibre. It is therefore durable and strong but weighs only 150 g – that is 60 per cent lighter than traditional metal hand tools. The tool's tilted head assembly maintains a neutral wrist posture and allows users an unobstructed view of wire positioning. An ergonomic frame design reduces risk of repetitive strain injury and comfort-grip handles give good leverage and reduce pressure point distress for the user.
Featuring patented two-piece constructed blades and a one-step stripping action, Ergo-Elite's advanced blade design acts as a wire guide system which is said to ensure a quality strip and eliminates potential scraping of the inner conductor. Swiveling blade compartment doors allow for quick blade changeover, reducing down time and increasing productivity.
