DMC TSK8000 Twist-Strip™ Outer Jacket Stripping Tool

The DMC TSK8000 Twist-Strip™ Tool is a precision-engineered outer-jacket stripping tool designed for shielded, twisted-pair and multi-conductor cables used throughout aviation, aerospace, defense, and high-reliability electronics. Its adjustable blade depth and interchangeable die sets allow technicians to quickly and safely remove cable jackets without risking damage to internal conductors or shielding. The result is a cleaner, faster, and more repeatable stripping process compared to razor blades or traditional ring/slit methods.

Key Features & Benefits

Adjustable Blade Depth

Fine-tune the blade engagement to match cable jacket thickness and maintain consistent, damage-free results across varying cable types and manufacturers.

Interchangeable Die Sets

Each die set features a contoured cable track that guides the cable during rotation, ensuring even scoring and clean jacket removal. Multiple die sets support different cable diameters, conductor counts, and lay directions.

Ergonomic, Lightweight Design

Weighing under one pound, the TSK8000 features an articulating mechanism, locking arms, and smooth die closure that minimize operator fatigue and increase precision in production environments.

Fast & Repeatable Operation

The controlled rotary stripping action delivers 3–5 times faster results than manual cutting methods while significantly improving repeatability and reducing rework.

Versatile Cable Compatibility

With the proper die set, the TSK8000 supports cable outer diameters approximately 0.0625" to 0.187". Ideal for twisted-pair, multi-conductor, and shielded avionics/data cables.
