DEWALT DCE151B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Cable Stripper (Bare Tool)
The DEWALT DCE151B 20V MAX XR cordless cable stripper provides clean, nick-free jacket removal on heavy-gauge electrical conductor cables from #6 AWG up to 750 MCM copper and 900 MCM aluminum. Powered by a high-efficiency brushless motor with an integrated anti-rotation E-Clutch system, this specialized electrical tool shuts off instantly during binding events to preserve operator wrist control. Featuring an adjustable strip depth gauge up to 4 inches, a variable-speed reversing trigger, and an onboard LED worklight, it eliminates exposed razor blades while stripping tough THHN and XHHW insulation in commercial switchgear and transformer enclosures.
**Battery and charger sold separately.
Best Used For:
- Commercial Electrical Service Entrances: Stripping heavy-gauge 500 to 750 MCM copper feeder cables cleanly without scoring interior conductor strands.
- Industrial Switchgear and Transformer Terminations: Removing tough XHHW and THHN outer jackets up to 4 inches in length inside crowded breaker cabinets.
- Solar and Utility Aluminum Feeder Prep: Rapidly processing high-volume 900 MCM aluminum lines for mechanical lug attachment with quick-release bushing changes.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- XR Brushless Motor: Delivers continuous torque to cut tough thermoset and thermoplastic insulation without stalling or overheating.
- Anti-Rotation E-Clutch System: Senses sudden tool bind-ups and immediately cuts motor power to protect user wrists from high rotational reaction forces.
- Adjustable 4-Inch Depth Gauge: Sets repeatable strip lengths from 0.5 inches up to 4 inches for uniform terminal lug terminations.
- Quick-Release Bushing Interface: Facilitates rapid tool-free bushing swaps; fully cross-compatible with DEWALT, Greenlee, and Ripley bushing sets.
- Variable-Speed Reversing Trigger: Enables precise cutting speed modulation and easy backing off from jammed or irregular cable insulation.
- Integrated LED Worklight: Illuminates the stripping head directly to provide clear visibility inside unpowered electrical vaults and switchgear bays.
