Work Smarter with Ideal Tools Cable Stripper and Crimp Tool Connectors

Professional Equipment That Saves Time on Every Job

The right tools make all the difference between a smooth, efficient job and a frustrating day fighting with equipment. We’ve recently stocked two Ideal® products designed to speed up everyday tasks that many electricians face daily for cable preparation and data terminations.

Ideal® 45-235 Flat Cable Stripper to Strip Twin & Earth Faster

When you’re stripping multiple runs of twin and earth cable, repetitive tasks can slow you down and tire your hands. The Ideal 45-235 eliminates the fiddly positioning and manual adjustment that wastes time on conventional strippers.

The self-adjusting blades automatically select the proper position when you present the cable – no manual adjustment needed. Simply present and strip. The open-throat construction allows unlimited strip lengths, so you’re not restricted to short sections, while the lightweight ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive stripping tasks across first and second fix work.

This stripper works with 12/2 AWG solid to 14/2 AWG Underground Feeder Cable, plus standard twin and earth applications. It cleanly removes both outer cable sheath and inner wire sheathing to your required lengths, delivering clean, professional results every time.

Key Features

• Self-adjusting blades – no manual positioning required
• Open-throat construction for unlimited strip length
• Removes outer cable sheath and inner wire sheathing cleanly
• Lightweight ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue 90-day warranty included

Whether you’re doing first fix cable runs or second fix terminations, the time saved on each cable adds up across a full day’s work. The ergonomic design built for repetitive use means your hands won’t be aching by the end of the day.

Ideal FT-45™ Feed-Thru Crimp Tool One Tool for All RJ45 Connectors

Data cabling work demands precision, and having multiple crimpers for different connector types wastes time and space in your tool bag. The compact FT-45™ works with all Ideal feed-thru, shielded, and standard RJ45 connectors – no need for multiple tools or die changes.

This single tool crimps CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A in feed-thru or standard configuration, shielded or unshielded, large diameter or standard conductors – all with zero tool adjustments. No fumbling with settings or swapping dies between connector types.

The patented design cuts conductors precisely flush with the modular plug face, preventing accidental contact between adjacent conductors or with mating jacks. This precision is essential for reliable data connections and critical for PoE installations where connection integrity directly affects performance.

At 2/3 the size of traditional crimpers and half the weight, it’s genuinely pocket-sized and won’t weigh down your tool belt. The spring-loaded handle requires minimal hand force with no ratcheting mechanism to maintain, while the large unobstructed opening makes connector insertion straightforward even in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Works with ALL Ideal RJ45 connectors – feed-thru, standard, shielded, unshielded
• Crimps CAT5e/6/6A with zero tool adjustments
• Patented design cuts conductors precisely flush to connector face
• Ultra-compact: 2/3 the size and half the weight of traditional crimpers
• Spring-loaded handle requires minimal hand force
• Long-lasting replaceable blade delivers 2000+ clean cuts
• Replacement blades available 1-year warranty

The replaceable blade is rated for over 2000 clean cuts, with replacement blades readily available when needed. This is practical, reliable equipment for everyday data cabling work that delivers consistent results.
