Tolsen Automatic Electric 2 in 1 Wire Stripper Cutter 38050

Tolsen Automatic 2-in-1 Wire Stripper and Cutter

MPN: 38050

Barcode: 6933528738367

Size: 0.5mm²–6mm²

Weight: 220g

Overview:

The Tolsen 2-in-1 wire stripper and cutter handles both stripping and cutting in a single tool. Its self-adjusting mechanism works across wire sizes from 0.5mm² to 6mm², removing the guesswork from cable preparation.

An adjustable stop keeps strip lengths consistent across multiple wires, saving time on repetitive tasks. The tool also strips 8mm-width flat cables and features a blade pressure dial, letting you match the setting to the insulation thickness.

A replaceable blade system means cutting edges can be refreshed without replacing the whole tool. This makes it a convenient pick for home electrical projects and general wiring tasks.

Key Features and Benefits

• 2-in-1 design: Strips and cuts wire in one tool, removing the need to switch between separate cutters.
• Self-adjusting mechanism: Automatically adapts to wire sizes from 0.5mm² to 6mm² - no manual calibration needed before each strip.
• Adjustable stop: Adjust your desired strip length once and get consistent results across all wires.
• Replaceable blade system: Swap out worn blades to restore cutting performance without buying a new tool.
• Flat cable stripping: Handles 8mm-width flat cables as well as standard round conductors.
• Blade pressure dial: Fine-tune cutting force to match insulation thickness and protect the conductor beneath.
• Conductor protection: Controlled blade pressure produces clean, damage-free strips every time.
• Compact size: At 240mm in length, it fits comfortably in a tool bag or work belt.
• Lightweight at 220g: Easy to handle in extended or overhead wiring work.
• Clean strip results: The self-adjusting jaw produces neat, accurate insulation removal on each pass.

Typical Applications

• Stripping insulation from single-core and multi-core cables
• Preparing cables for socket, switch, and consumer unit connections
• Cutting wire to length during installation work
• Stripping flat twin-and-earth cable on domestic wiring projects
• Preparing wires for terminal block and connector fittings
• Lighting circuit and power circuit wiring
• General electrical maintenance and repair tasks

How to Use

• Insert the wire: Feed the wire or cable into the jaw opening at the correct position for the cable type.

• Set the strip length: Adjust the stop to match the length of insulation you need to remove.

• Adjust blade pressure: Turn the dial to suit the thickness of the wire's insulation before stripping.

• Strip the insulation: Squeeze the handles to activate the self-adjusting mechanism and remove the insulation cleanly.

• Cut if required: Use the integrated cutting section to trim the wire to the required length.

• Replace blades when needed: When cutting performance drops, remove the worn blade and fit a replacement using the accessible blade system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What wire sizes does this wire stripper work with?
  The self-adjusting mechanism covers wire sizes from 0.5mm² to 6mm², making it appropriate for most standard household and light commercial cables.

• Can it strip flat cables as well as round wires?
  Yes. In addition to round conductors, the tool strips 8mm-width flat cables, which are commonly used in domestic wiring.

• How do I replace the blade?
  The blade system is designed for simple replacement. Access the blade through the mechanism's designated access points, remove the worn blade, and fit a new one to restore full performance.

• What is the difference between a self-adjusting and a manual wire stripper?
  A self-adjusting stripper automatically sets its jaw to the wire diameter on each use. A manual stripper requires you to select the correct notch for each wire gauge before stripping.

• Does the blade pressure dial affect the conductor?
  Yes - setting the blade pressure correctly for the insulation thickness prevents the blade from cutting into or nicking the conductor beneath.

Summary

The Tolsen 2-in-1 wire stripper and cutter combines a self-adjusting stripping mechanism, blade pressure control, and an adjustable stop in one 220g tool. It handles wire sizes from 0.5mm² to 6mm² and strips 8mm-width flat cables. A replaceable blade system extends the working life of the tool, making it a well-considered option for home wiring and general electrical tasks.
