Why is the TS-7000 Twisted Stripper superior to razor blades?
A. It is clear that hand use of a razor blade or knife to remove TSP (Twisted Shielded Pair) outer jacket is fraught with hidden danger. Physical damage to the installer (loss of blood and productivity) and physical damage to the wire (see above) are the most common side effects. The TS-7000 Twisted Stripper eliminates both conditions by precisely controlling the blade’s depth of cut and position on the wire jacket. The TS-7000 dies are designed to slit the outer jacket in the valley between the center conductors using a patented design that eliminates shield conductor damage.
