The FACOM 872271 (aka as Facom 872271PB or USAG 163) is a professional multi-function trigger cable sheath stripper and cutter. It is engineered specifically for electricians and technicians to safely, quickly, and cleanly peel back the outer insulation jackets of round PVC electrical and data cables.
Key Specifications & Design
- Capacity Diameter Range: Accommodates round PVC cables from 4mm to 28mm in diameter.
- Ergonomic Trigger Mechanism: Designed with a spring-loaded trigger actuation system that requires 30% less manual effort than standard thumb-press stripping knives. Technicians simply pull the trigger, drop the cable inside, and release to lock the cable tightly in place.
- Auto-Swivel Internal Blade: Features a self-pivoting blade feed system. Once twisted around the circumference of the cable to execute a round cross-cut, the internal blade automatically tracks horizontally when the tool is pulled along the wire axis for a seamless lengthwise slit.
- Depth Adjustment Wheel: Outfitted with an integrated thumbscrew adjuster wheel at the base to precisely calibrate the blade cutting depth, preventing the knife from nicking internal copper wire conductors.
- Double-Safety Protection: Engineered with a specialized safety linkage. The trigger mechanism automatically locks in place whenever the cutting blade is fully extended, and it includes a dedicated lock-back latch to secure the blade when not in use.
- Physical Weight & Footprint: Compact 167mm overall length with an ultra-light body weight of 150 grams.
