Check the fit

Match the full tool number if you need to replace the blades. Neighboring Stripmaster models use differently numbered sets and may cover a different range, even when the handles look similar.

When to choose it

Choose the 45-097 if your work calls for its 16–26 AWG blade set and you prefer the compound action of a Stripmaster. You still select a matching blade opening, while the mechanism grips the wire and separates the insulation.
