The Ideal 45 165 is a coaxial stripper. This stripper has adjustable blades that can be set for any depth to help ensure neck free strips. This tool is best used with twisted pair wire, tightly wrapped stranded cables, CATV cable, CB antenna cable, SO, SJ, SJT and other types of flexible power cords. In 1916, J. Walter Becker started the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago from his mother s kitchen. Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the core IDEAL business principle for over 90 years. Today, the many loyal distributors and customers that make IDEAL successful are a testament to Becker s original philosophy.
