It uses knife-type blades to deliver clean, accurate strips in a single motion, reducing the chance of nicking the conductor and slowing down the job. The tool measures 7 inches overall length and features a plastic cushion handle for grip during repetitive work. Maximum strip length is 0.048 inches (1.20 mm). It is a standard hand tool for electricians, low-voltage installers, security technicians, and HVAC controls wiring work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45-098 suits residential and light commercial electrical work where fine-gauge conductor stripping is a routine task. Common applications include control wiring, thermostat wiring, sensor leads, communication cable terminations, and any low-voltage work requiring consistent, repeatable strip lengths in the 30 to 20 AWG range. The automatic self-adjusting mechanism means the same tool handles multiple wire gauges within that range without manual adjustment between conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic self-adjusting operation covers 30 AWG through 20 AWG without manual gauge changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnife-type blades produce clean, accurate strips that minimize conductor damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-step stripping action improves productivity on repetitive termination work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic cushion handle provides grip comfort during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 7-inch overall length fits standard tool pouches and bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with solid and stranded conductors in the 30 AWG to 20 AWG range, typical of low-voltage control, thermostat, and communication wiring applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed into service by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and HVAC controls installers. Always de-energize circuits before stripping conductors. Inspect blades periodically for wear; dull or nicked blades can damage conductors and compromise termination integrity. Follow NEC requirements for conductor preparation at terminals and splices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Automatic Wire Stripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 AWG to 20 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Strip Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.048 inches (1.20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic Cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.84 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IDEAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45-098\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IDEAL INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540126957874,"sku":"45-098","price":78.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4cab86cb91a5a9371b049aee53413daa.jpg?v=1785846416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ideal-45-098-automatic-wire-stripper-30-20-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
