The USAG 163 (official part number U01630001) is a professional multi-purpose trigger cable sheath stripper. As USAG and FACOM share a parent company (Stanley Black & Decker), this tool is the exact Italian-brand twin to the FACOM 872271 discussed previously. It is engineered to perform quick round (circular) and lengthwise (longitudinal) slitting on standard PVC-insulated cables.
Key Specifications & Design
- Capacity Diameter Range: Accommodates round PVC outer jackets ranging from 4mm to 28mm in diameter.
- Effort-Reducing Trigger System: Features an ergonomic, spring-assisted trigger actuation layout that cuts manual thumb-pressing pressure down by 30%, requiring a total force of only 75 N.
- Self-Rotating Blade Mechanism: Built with a specialized internal guiding blade. After executing a circular cross-cut around the cable jacket, the blade automatically swivels horizontally when pulled lengthwise to split the outer sleeve seamlessly.
- Calibrated Cutting Depth: Outfitted with an integrated thumb roller/wheel to precisely regulate cutting depth, preventing the cutting edge from scoring internal copper conductors.
- Safety Lockouts: Integrates a structural trigger stop lock that engages whenever the blade is fully extended, coupled with a secondary safety blade lock.
- Physical Profile: 170mm overall length • Ultra-light 100g total weight
