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. Pneumatic Crimper

    Pneumatic Crimper

    This is an extremely economical bench top air operated crimper suitable for a wide range of connectors and is the ideal step up from manual crimping. Operated by a foot pedal, this machine comes supplied with a crimping jaw of your choice and has the advantage of accepting most universal crimping die sets therefore making this a hugely versatile machine and eiminating the need to buy machine specific die sets which are often very expensive. Customised die sets can also be manufactured if required. Maximum crimping range: Insulated Terminal 6.00mmsq, up to 1200 crimps per hour.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Radial Component Cutting Machine

    Radial Component Cutting Machine
    The model TP6R-EC is designed for cutting taped radial componets 0.4mm to 1.0mm in diameter. There are 2 versions of this machine with different driver wheels to take 12.7mm and 15mm pitch tape.
  7. Ribbon Cable Notcher

    Ribbon Cable Notcher
    Hand operated Ribbon Cable Webbing Notcher with interchangeable tooling. Cable Pitch 0.100" - gives 8 notches 0.043" x 0.4" deep, cable Pitch 0.156" - gives 6 notches 0.070" x 0.4" deep. Ground Plane - gives 1 notch 1.00" long.
  8. Ribbon Cable Stripper

    Ribbon Cable Stripper
    The model 48 offers full or partial strip capabilities on flat and ribbon cables and provides a clean, square, nick-free strip. The pneumatic operation of the Model 48 accurately strips in just 2 seconds. Easy to change over, no tools required
