| Ripley introduces new adjustable end stripper Ripley's UtilityTool division is pleased to introduce the WS 5A-DA Adjustable End Stripper. The WS 5A-DA has all the same features as the UtilityTool WS 5A but adds a removable 3/8 inch drill adapter allowing the tool to be driven by an electric or battery operated power drill saving the lineman or contractor from injury due to repeatable motion. A guarded cutting blade contained in specially sized bushings for different sizes of cable also helps to prevent operator injury. The WS 5A-DA strips XLPE, polyethylene and EPR insulation up to 400 mils thick on 600 volt to 35kv cables. The WS 5A-DA is ideal for primary URD cable. An adjustment knob allows for easy setting of the strip length from .625 inches up to 2.5 inches maximum. The tool also accepts UtilityTool's SW-2 ratchet wrench for leverage. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
