A wire stripper is a tool designed to remove the protective covering (jacket) from a cable to expose the inner wires. Because different wires come in different shapes, there are a variety of wire strippers available. To use a wire stripper, place a wire between the blade and the holder. Then, rotate the stripper around the cable until the cable jacket can be pulled off.
