- The Taparia WS 06 Wire Stripping Plier is a compact, 150 mm steel wire stripper made from chrome vanadium steel. It features induction-hardened jaws for durability and a spring-loaded insulated handle (green/black) for user comfort and safety. Conforms to Indian standard IS 5087-1969, making it a reliable tool for electrical and wiring tasks.
Applications
:- Electrical Wiring Work : Ideal for electricians to strip insulation from wires during installations and maintenance.
- DIY Home Projects : Useful for hobbyists working on wiring tasks in lighting, home automation, or speaker systems.
- Telecom & Networking : Stripping insulation from multi-core cables or small cross-section wires in network setups.
- Repair & Maintenance : When working on electrical panels, appliances, or control systems, this plier helps remove insulation cleanly without damaging conductor.
- Workshop Use : In mechanical or electronics workshops, it's handy for preparing wires during prototyping or assembly.
Usage
:Maintenance :
Clean After Use :
- Wipe the jaws and body with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any wire insulation residue or dust.
- For sticky or hardened residue, use a mild solvent (isopropyl alcohol) but ensure it's fully dried before storing.
Lubricate Pivot :
- Apply a drop of light machine oil or a multi-purpose lubricant to the pivot joint.
- Open and close the plier a few times to distribute the lubricant.
- Wipe off excess oil to avoid attracting dust or grit.
Inspect the Stripping Slots :
- Periodically check the stripping slot (where the insulation is removed) for wear or burrs.
- If you feel rough edges, consider getting the plier serviced or replaced — sharp, clean slots give better stripping performance.
Check Handle Insulation :
- Inspect the plastic-dip handles for cracks, damage, or wear.
- Damaged insulation can compromise safety, especially in electrical work — replace the plier if handles are compromised.
Storage :
- Store in a dry place to avoid rust or corrosion on the steel body.
- Keep in a toolbox or rack where the jaws are not forced open, to protect the spring and alignment.
Use Within Rated Capacity :
- Avoid stripping wires thicker than the rated capacity (or with too many conductors). Overloading can damage the jaws or stripping slot.
