New UtilityTool® US02 Cable Semi-Con Shaving Tool

Ripley Tools is proud to introduce the US02 adjustable semi-con removal tool for preparing 5 to 35kV cables with bonded semi-con.

Its optimal stability design securely supports cables with diameters from 0.71” to 2.4” (18mm to 50mm) throughout the shaving operation.
