Pen-Style Wire Stripper – Compact, Multi-Functional Cable Stripping Tool

Meet your new go-to tool for fast, clean wire stripping. This pen-style wire stripper combines a slim, pocket-friendly form with professional-grade performance — handling coaxial, Ethernet, and general electrical wires with ease. Whether you're an electrician, a DIY enthusiast, or a network installer, this compact tool belongs in every toolkit.

Key Features

• Pen-Style Design – Lightweight & Portable: At just 12.5 cm (4.92 inches), this tool slides easily into a shirt pocket, tool pouch, or bag — ready whenever and wherever you need it.
• Built-In Reset Spring & Locking Device: The auto-reset spring and integrated locking mechanism allow the tool to automatically adapt to different wire diameters, making operation fast and hassle-free.
• One-Rotation Stripping: Simply rotate clockwise 3–6 turns for a clean, one-pass strip — no scoring, no second passes. Saves time and boosts work efficiency significantly.
• Dual-Blade Design for Multi-Layer Cables: Equipped with two precision blades — one for stripping the outer jacket and foam body, and one for cutting through braided shielding — this single tool handles the full cable prep process.
• Wide Compatibility: Works with coaxial cables (RG59, RG6) and AWG10–20 (0.5–6.0 mm²) electrical wires. The recessed stripping port design guides the wire safely and accurately every time.
• Durable Plastic Construction: Built from robust plastic that resists daily wear, keeping the blades aligned and the mechanism smooth over long-term use.

Safety & Best Practices

Always ensure wires are de-energized and properly disconnected before stripping. For guidance on safe electrical work practices, visit OSHA's Electrical Safety resource.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of cables does this pen wire stripper work with?

A: This pen wire stripper is compatible with coaxial cables (RG59 and RG6), Ethernet cables, and general electrical wires ranging from AWG10–20 (0.5–6.0 mm²). The dual-blade design handles both outer jacket removal and braided shielding in one compact tool.

Q: How does the automatic wire size adjustment work?

A: The built-in reset spring and locking device allow the stripper to self-adjust around different wire diameters automatically. Just insert the wire into the stripping port and rotate clockwise 3–6 turns — the tool does the rest without manual gauge adjustments.

Q: Is this tool safe for beginners to use?

A: Yes. The recessed bottom stripping port guides the wire into the correct position, reducing the risk of blade contact with fingers. The locking mechanism keeps the blades stable during use. As with all cutting tools, always make sure wires are fully de-energized before stripping.

Q: Can this replace a full-size wire stripper for most tasks?

A: For coaxial and standard electrical wires within the AWG10–20 range, this pen-style stripper handles the majority of everyday stripping tasks. Its portability makes it ideal for on-site work, tight spaces, and quick jobs where carrying a bulky tool isn't practical.
