IDEAL Stripmaster 45-097 compound-action wire stripper
Grip-and-strip tool with gauged blades

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.
