You would be better off with a quality box cutter. This is very much for electrical wire. It also does not work well for Cat 5,6,7 or 8 wire. **Q: Will this strip off the outer shell of 14/3 NM ?** A: I doubt it... The wire has to be nice and flat to run the cutter up. Works good on 14-2 and 12-2 only if you catch the cutter just right under the sheathing. Since 14-3 is bundled and "round" it would be difficult to use this. The old clamshell stripper isn't much better. I very carefully use a razor knife when doing the 14-3. **Q: Will it work on 10-3 12-3 o14-3 wire?** A: This tool is designed to work with 14 and 12 gauge wire ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***3 on 2 January 2026* This is a quality product for cutting wire and things similar.

See my You Tube review "Ideal Lil' Ripper Stripper". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***K on 12 February 2014* I was sick to death of using a Stanley knife to remove outer sheaths from cables, the slightest slip and an inner sheath was cut and the jobs a bad'un. I brought the Lil Ripper and it is superb. Only small but wan't you can't see is a small curved hook / blade inside the tube. Simply cut your wire to length (Iv'e only used it on 2.5mm twin and earth fyi) and slide the ripper along the cable. The inner hook / blade cuts through the outer sheath with no damage to the inner wires, I then fold the split sheath back and snip it off with pliers. Even if you slip you cant hurt yourself due the hidden nature of the blade. A friend who saw me use it (who is an electrician, hello Simon if your reading this) was so excited about it I bought him one as a present. It also strips single wires in the "V" you can see etc but for me the it's worth the money just for the outer sheath removing capabilities. With my skill it will pay for itself in one small wiring job due to less waste. ## Frequently Bought Together - IDEAL Electrical 45-025 Lil Ripper Stripper Wire Stripper w/ Slitting Blade, V-Notch, Flat Blade Clip - Klein Tools L1412 5-in-1 Cable Stripping Tool for 12-14 AWG, NM Cable Ripper (12/2 and 14/2 Romex), Magnetic with Wire Looping Hole - Klein Tools RT250 GFCI Outlet Tester with LCD Display, Electric Voltage Tester for Standard 3-Wire 120V Electrical Receptacles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/582034933-ideal-lil-ripper-stripper-wire-stripper](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/582034933-ideal-lil-ripper-stripper-wire-stripper) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
