PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 

Ripley UtilityTool WS 68 SNAP Power-Driven End Stripper - #6 AWG-750 kcmil, 600V (Tool Body Only)

Please note: The 40100 is the tool body only and does not include bushings. Bushings are sold separately.

The Ripley Tools WS68 SNAP is a power-driven cable end stripper built on the proven WS68 platform, adding a patented quick-connect front collar that lets technicians snap bushings in and out from the front of the tool - fast and positive, even with lineman's gloves on. Chuck it into any standard 3/8" drill and end-strip secondary distribution cable without traditional knives, reducing the risk of cuts or lacerations. A knurled thumb screw with a high-visibility depth indicator sets strip length quickly and accurately from 0.625" to 2.5" (15.875 to 63.5 mm).

The tool accepts Ripley cable bushings from #6 AWG through 750 MCM, covering concentric, compressed, and compacted conductors on 600V secondary distribution cable. Bushing swaps that previously required a tool or took two hands can now be completed in seconds with a simple push-and-twist motion at the front collar. For strip lengths up to 5", see the WS 68 SNAP XL.

Features:
  • Patented quick-connect front collar snaps bushings in and out fast, even with gloves on
  • Power-driven operation via standard 3/8" drill - eliminates the use of traditional knives, reducing the risk of cuts or lacerations
