Walter Becker started the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago from his mother's kitchen. He manufactured commutator dresser stones with the belief that every product should be worth more than the price paid for it. Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the core Ideal business principle for over 90 years. Today, the many loyal distributors and customers that make Ideal successful are a testament to Becker's original philosophy. Our electrical line contains just about everything an electrician might need for an easier more efficient job. The Ideal 45-418 Reflex Premium T-8 T-Stripper Wire Stripper is designed to strip insulation from 8 to 16 AWG stranded wires without nicking them. The hardened steel, sheer-type blades are spring-loaded to open automatically. The textured, no-slip sleeves extend to the stripping head to cushion your thumb and fingers. The curved handles are ergonomically designed to reduce wrist fatigue. The Ideal 45-418 Reflex Premium T-8 T-Stripper Wire Stripper is sold one item per package, and is covered by a 90-day manufacturer warranty.

### ⭐⭐⭐ No latch mechanism?

Get the regular t rex strippers... I like the grips on these better, but they don't latch shut. Which is beyond me, these would be perfect if they just latched.
