Abstract
Stripping tool for removing a length of outer insulation from the end of shielded ribbon cable comprises means for aligning lateral edges of cable, means for clamping planar surfaces at end of cable, and parallel shear blades which descend to shear the edges of the cable along the length of insulation to be removed, exposing the shield along at least one edge. The shear blades are fixed to a ram which also carries a scoring blade which cooperates with a scoring blade below the cable to form cuts in opposed planar surfaces of insulation. The insulation is stripped by pulling against the scoring blades leaving the shield intact.
