The ever popular HOTweezers hand unit looks like a pair of cutoff tweezers and weighs less than 2 ounces (57g) including cable and connector. Because of this, the HOTweezers® fit comfortably in the operators hand, and the stripping operation is smooth and natural. The small size and light weight have proved in production use to be very effective in increasing output and reducing operator fatigue.
NOTE: All items are available in ESD version – please call for more information.
HOTweezers Hand Units…
Three different models of the HOTweezers® are available to satisfy most stripping requirements. For precise insulation removal Models 4A and 4B have stripping holes to yield a clean, even strip free of insulation “tails” and to prevent mashing of the conductor strands. Model 4C is designed for use on cable jackets and larger diameter conductors. Maximum cable or conductor O.D. that can be stripped is 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) and maximum insulation wall thickness is .05 inch (1.27 mm). For stripping requirements that exceed these dimensions the HOTnife can be used. All models have the new strip length gauge so that repetitive stripping operations can be done accurately. The gauge is easy to adjust without a screwdriver or special tools. The standard power cord for all three models is a flexible, lightweight cable with a high temperature silicone rubber jacket that resists burns.
