Ripley Miller CFS-3 Three-Hole Fiber Optic Stripper - 1.6-3 mm Jacket to 125 µm Fiber (81300)

Miller brand tools by Ripley are one of Tech Tool Supply's top selling lines for two reasons: precision engineering and consistent quality - and the CFS-3 shows exactly why. It puts all three everyday fiber stripping operations into one compact tool: the first hole strips 1.6 mm to 3 mm fiber jackets, the second removes 600-900 micron tight buffer, and the third strips the 250 micron acrylate coating down to clean 125 micron bare fiber, ready for cleaving and splicing.

The blade notches are factory preset to precise tolerances - there are no adjustments to make and nothing to drift out of spec. That precision is what keeps the CFS-3 from nicking or scratching glass, the failure that turns into broken fibers at the splice point or in the tray later. A stripping guide printed right on the handle keeps hole selection quick, and a lock keeps the tool closed in your pouch. The compliant thermoplastic elastomer grips are shaped to be comfortable in either hand - a genuine consideration when you're stripping hundreds of fibers in a day - and at just over 4 ounces it carries all day without notice. It's the stripper every fiber tech should have two of.
