The next generation of adjustable overhead skinners is faster, simpler and safer than ever. Designed with lineworkers in mind, the US01-7100 is the most dependable solution for tackling a wide variety of 15- to 35-kV overhead wire. This innovative tool eliminates the need for traditional stripping knives, significantly reducing the risk of cuts or lacerations. Its heavy-duty construction easily removes the jacket and insulation from overhead wires. The tool features colored knobs for set-and-forget blade positioning, including a standard depth stop. The red knob, equipped with a reflective revolution marker, allows for visible-at-a-distance blade depth setting, while the blue knob is used for opening and closing the jaw. The US01-7100 is designed to strip wire without spiraling during ring cuts, ensuring clean jacket removal without the need for a clamp. Additionally, a selector switch enables quick transitions between ring and spiral cut settings. The tool’s body weight has been reduced from the original design, making it easier to operate with a hot stick. www.ripley-tools.com/product/us01-7100hs/
