Platinum Tools Maxim 6 Self Adjusting Wire Stripper 24-10 AWG

The Platinum Tools Maxim 6 Self Adjusting Wire Stripper 24-10 AWG is engineered for professionals who demand reliability, precision, and comfort in every strip. This heavy‑duty tool is built to handle a wide range of wire sizes—from the slender 24 AWG conductors to the sturdy 10 AWG cables—without the need for constant recalibration. Whether you’re wiring a residential circuit, assembling automotive electrical harnesses, or outfitting a marine project, the Maxim 6 delivers clean, consistent insulation removal while protecting the conductor. The design centers on a self‑adjusting mechanism that automatically tailors its grip and strip depth to the insulation thickness, helping you achieve precise results with less effort and less risk of nicking the copper or aluminum conductor beneath. With an emphasis on user ergonomics, the Maxim 6 features an ergonomic handle that reduces hand fatigue during long sessions, so you can work faster and longer without sacrificing accuracy. The autoform laminated stripping jaws glide around the cable’s radius, ensuring a snug, uniform strip every time, and the built‑in wire cutter provides a convenient, one-tool solution for stripping and trimming in a single step. In short, this wire stripper is designed to streamline cable preparation, improve output quality, and stand up to the rigors of daily professional use.

• Self-adjusting mechanism for effortless gauge handling — Automatically adapts to wires from 24 AWG to 10 AWG, whether solid or stranded, so you don’t have to guess or manually change settings.
• Autoform laminated stripping jaws — Jaws form around the cable radius and insulation thickness to deliver a clean strip while protecting the inner conductor from damage.
• Ergonomic handle design — Cushioned, textured grip reduces fatigue and improves control, enabling precise stripping during extended use.
• Built-in wire cutter — Integrated cutting blade lets you trim conductors without switching tools, saving time on every job.
• Durable, heavy‑duty construction — Rugged steel construction with a resilient finish stands up to daily use in electrical, automotive, and industrial work environments.

How to install Platinum Tools Maxim 6 Self Adjusting Wire Stripper 24-10 AWG

• There is no installation required for the Maxim 6. Simply pick up the tool and begin work; its self‑adjusting mechanism handles gauge changes automatically.
• Inspect the wire to confirm it falls within the 24-10 AWG range and that the insulation type is suitable for stripping with this tool.
• Place the wire so that the insulation to be removed sits between the stripping jaws, aligning the area to be stripped with the blade edge inside the tool.
• Gently squeeze the handles with steady pressure until the insulation separates from the conductor. The autoform laminated jaws will conform to the insulation thickness and radius.
• If a trim is needed, use the built‑in wire cutter to cut the conductor to length, then remove the stripped portion and inspect the conductor for any nicks or fraying before continuing.
• Wipe off any debris and store the tool in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the blades and mechanism.
