A tool for mid-span cable stripping having a wheel enclosure surrounding
an inner wheel with at least one cable saddle formed in an outer
circumference, the cable saddle(s) adapted to rotatably cradle a cable of
a desired outer diameter. The wheel enclosure having an access cut-away
with an over hanging portion that exposes the cable saddle for insertion
of the cable. The cable saddle moveable, via rotation of the inner wheel,
under the overhanging portion whereby the cable in the cable saddle is
retained and a blade coupled to the wheel enclosure with a cutting edge
projecting inward engages the cable. Rotation of the tool about the cable
strips an outer sheath of the cable. Where multiple cable saddles of
different sizes are formed about the circumference of the inner wheel,
the tool may be used with a range of different diameter cables.
