Milwaukee Tool’s M18 FUEL Covered Conductor Cable Stripper with Adjustable Bushings is the industry’s first cordless tool optimized for end-stripping insulation on aerial, 600-volt secondary and medium-voltage cables, offering an unmatched cable-stripping experience. Designed for ultimate versatility, the six adjustable bushings accommodate cable diameters from 0.5 to 2.1 inches, eliminating the need for excess accessories while ensuring a clean, precise strip every time. Powered by M18 FUEL, this cordless stripper removes covered conductors at 1 inch per second, up to four times faster than manual tools, boosting efficiency and productivity. With no exposed blades, this solution significantly reduces the risk of cuts and lacerations, providing a safer way to strip the covered conductor. AUTOSTOP kickback control prevents over-rotation in a bind-up, while user-controlled speed and optimized max RPMs provide precise control during operation. Equipped with an adjustable 6-inch depth gauge for precise strip lengths, the tool eliminates over- and under-stripping and can be removed for extended-length applications as needed. Delivering optimized ergonomics, the tool’s pistol-grip design ensures easy maneuverability in tight spaces. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers more power to handle tough materials in any environment; REDLINK PLUS Intelligence ensures peak performance while protecting against overload; and ONE-KEY delivers easy tracking and tool management. www.milwaukeetool.com/products/2937-21
