The Ripley Tools R12302 is a genuine OEM replacement blade engineered for the UtilityTool WS22 and WS22A families of cable end strippers. As the cutting edge that performs the actual jacket and insulation removal, this precision blade restores like-new stripping performance once the original blade dulls or nicks from repeated field use — without requiring replacement of the more expensive bushing or tool body.

This single blade part number works universally across every WS22/WS22A square-cut bushing size, from small compressed 2/0 AWG conductors up to 1000 kcmil compacted/compressed cables with insulation thicknesses from 60 to 110 mils. It fits directly into the Ripley WS22 Double-Ended Cable End Stripper tool body as well as every WS22A Power-Driven End Stripper variant, making it an essential spare part for any crew running the WS22/WS22A tool line.

Designed for technicians, linemen, and cable jointers preparing 600 volt secondary distribution cable for splicing, jointing, and terminations, this replacement blade supports the guarded-blade safety design and consistent strip quality the WS22/WS22A system is known for.
