Meisei Hotweezers

1. The filament is resistant to oxidation.

2. The stripping head will not distort nor lose alignment as is the case with ordinary hot wire strippers.

3. Since the filaments are enclosed, a greater portion of the heat generated is retained to do useful work. Consequently the power supply can be much smaller than usual, and the current consumption is drastically reduced. The M-10 power supply consumes a mere 20 watts at the highest temperature setting.

4. Wire holes can be ground into the stripping head without damage to the filaments. With wire holes, the rotation of the stripper required to accomplish a strip is reduced from 180°C to 15°C, and mashing of conductors especially the finer gauges, is completely eliminated.

5. Because the filaments are an integral part of the stripper body, no maintenance is required.

With the M-10 Power Supply, the tip temperature can be adjusted from 300°F (149°C) to 1450°F (788°C). Other thermal strippers offer this feature but there's a difference. The mass at the stripping tip of the HOTweezers is much greater than ordinary hot wire types and is more resistant to cool down when the stripper contacts the work. Because of this, the tip temperature can be maintained at a level very near the softening point of the insulation material but below its charring or ignition temperature. Virtually any organic insulation can be stripped without burn marks. It is now possible to thermal strip low-temperature materials like PVC, Nylon and Polyethylene without the insulation slugs sticking to the stripper or the conuctor. The HOTweezers will easily handle high-temperature insulations sure as PTFE Tefzel, Teflon and Silicone Rubber without the charring.
