HOTweezers  represent the state of the art in the design and construction of thermal wire strippers.

Hotweezers thermal wire strippers weigh less than 57g including cable and connector, making it an ideal hand-held solution with smooth and efficient operation. The heater filaments are completely sealed in the stripping head of a Hotweezers thermal wire stripper device enhancing its performance consistently.

Advantages of using HOTweezers:

1. The filament is resistant to oxidation.

2. The stripping head will not distort nor lose alignment as is the case with ordinary hot wire strippers.

3. Since the filaments are enclosed, a greater portion of the heat generated is retained to do useful work. Consequently the power supply can be much smaller than usual, and the current consumption is drastically reduced. The M-10 power supply consumes a mere 20 watts at the highest temperature setting.

4. Wire holes can be ground into the stripping head without damage to the filaments. With wire holes, the rotation of the stripper required to accomplish a strip is reduced from 180o to 15o and mashing of conductors, especially the finer gauges, is completely eliminated.

5. Because the filaments are an integral part of the stripper body, no maintenance is required.

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.

  1. Bench Mounted Enamel Wire Stripper

    Bench Mounted Enamel Wire Stripper
    The EC2 will strip many film insulations including Enamel, Varnish, Formvar, Ml etc for a range of wire sizes between 29 AWG (0.28mm O.D.) and 8 AWG (3.25mm O.D.). Using a high speed rotary stripping insert, which is precisely adjustable to match the diameter of the bare conductor, surface insulation is easily removed. The insert is held in a special adjustable chuck assembly which, when locked in position, allows precise repetitive stripping without risk of damage to the conductor.
  2. Bench Top Wire Dereeler

    Bench Top Wire Dereeler
    This is a small and economic wire feeding machine which can accommodate loose or reel mounted cables. It offers smooth acceleration as the feeds via a spring mounted pulley therefore preventing over or under feeding of the wire which in turn improves accuracy of the wire preparation machinery. Maximum reel width of 260mm, maximum reel height of 120mm and maximum reel wieght of 7kg.
  3. Fine Enamel Wire Stripper

    Fine Enamel Wire Stripper
    The Finofix is designed for stripping miniature coils and fine magnet/enamel wire from 0.03mm to 0.4mm. The enamelled wire is introduced from above (or from the front) between the rotary, conical glass fibre wheels, the enamel is then removed from the wire. Stripping to within 1/8" of a component body are possible with no restriction on stripping length.
  4. Fine Wire Stripping Tool

    Fine Wire Stripping Tool
    The Microstrip Stripping System is a range of stripping tools designed for fine wire (18-32 AWG) and fibre optic cables and comes with interchangeable blades and guides to eliminate the need to purchase a separate stripping tool for each different cable. Several options are offered to suit a variety of applications and all deliver ultra precise wire stripping
  5. Hand Ribbon Cable Separator

    Hand Ribbon Cable Separator
    This is a small size, hand operation unit which separates anywhere along the cable. Standard maximum cable width 3.00". Separates 0.050" centre cable (standard). Separates up to 4" length per revolution.
  6. Hotweezers Thermal Wire Strippers

    Hotweezers Thermal Wire Strippers
    We are the exclusive UK agent for the Meisei Corporation Hotweezer thermal wire stripper range. The handpiece is shaped like a pair of cut off tweezers and weighs less than 2ounces. Suitable for insulations including PTFE, Teflon and Silicone Rubber, the tempearte can be adjusted via the power supply from 300°F to 1450°F, stripping causes no burn marks. Availabe in standard or ESD range in 3 different sizes of handpiece - the Model 4A for wire size 36 ~ 24 AWG, Model 4B for wire size 28 ~ 18 AWG and Model 4C which has no holes and flat blades. There is also a knife available - Model 2A which can also be used for microscopic and delicate work. The unique feature of the Hotweezer is that the heater filaments are completely sealed in the stripping head which is manufactured from a high temperature alloy with very good oxidation and wear properties.
  7. Isolex Electric Enamel Wire Stripper

    Isolex Electric Enamel Wire Stripper
    The Isolex is an electrically driven stripping machine with manual operation for varnished wires. It consists of a motor unit and a knife head. The knife head is equipped with 3 hard metal knives. The knives are closed by rotation (centrifugal force). Two versions are available the type 02 which will process wire from 0.2mm ~ 1.5mm O.D. and the type 03 for wires 0.3mm ~ 4.0mm O.D.
  8. Portable Air Enamel Wire Stripper

    Portable Air Enamel Wire Stripper
    The EC4 will strip many film insulations including Enamel, Varnish, Formvar, ML etc for a range of wire sizes between 29 AWG (0.28mm O.D.) and 8 AWG (3.25mm O.D.). Using a high speed rotary stripping insert, which is precisely adjustable to match the diameter of the bare conductor, surface insulation is easily removed. The insert is held in a special adjustable chuck assembly which, when locked in position, allows precise repetitive stripping without risk of damage to the conductor.
  9. Portable Electric Enamel Wire Stripper

    Portable Electric Enamel Wire Stripper
    Both the HQ30 and HQ35P are hand held portable units. The HP30 machine is specially designed and suitable for thinner round and flat wires. The wire is pulled into the machine by the stripping brushes operating in opposite directions. The HQ35P machine is more suited to thicker round or flat wires. The brushes work in synchronization and therefore do not exert any pull on the wire.
  10. Precision Wire Strippers

    Precision Wire Strippers
    The Precision Wire Stripper range offers an economical and accurate solution for stripping small wires with a variety of different insulations. These tools are easy to operate - you simply set the adjustable length stop to the desired stripping length, insert the wire through the hole and squeeze handles together and withdraw the wire - the result is an accurate and clean strip. Available in 8 sizes and plus an adjustable tool in 3 size ranges and fibre optic version.
