The Milwaukee M18 Cable Stripper Kit with 17 Cu THHN / XHHW Bushings is a cordless cable stripping kit for electricians who prep large copper feeder cable. This is a cable stripper designed for removing insulation from 1/0 AWG through 750 MCM THHN and XHHW conductors quickly, safely, and consistently. Model Number 2935CU-21S includes the tool, 17 copper bushings, a battery, a charger, and a carrying case.

The biggest reason to buy it is safety. Stripping big conductors with a knife puts your hands and the insulation at risk every time, especially in awkward positions. With no exposed blades, the M18 Cable Stripper provides safer stripping than a knife and takes the slip-and-cut risk out of feeder prep.

The tool is also about consistency. Each bushing is sized to its conductor, and the optimized bushing design prevents nicks in the wire. An internal depth gauge adjusts up to 3", so once you set the strip length you can repeat it conductor after conductor. The variable speed trigger lets you start slowly and control the strip instead of forcing it. A jacket ejection slot clears stripped insulation out of the head to prevent jamming.

The compact, right-angle design is built for where electricians actually work. It maneuvers more easily in tight spaces with less strain on the wrist, and Milwaukee designed it to strip in crowded panels and switchgear. The internal depth gauge keeps the head compact.

This kit is the copper version. The 17 bushings cover copper THHN/XHHW from 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0 AWG through 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, 600, and 750 MCM, with two bushing versions at each size from 250 through 600 MCM. Each bushing has its wire size marked on it and is vivid color coded for fast selection. The quick-change bushing system speeds up moving between sizes, and the stripper is compatible with all Milwaukee bushings as well as other brands' quick-change bushings. For aluminum conductors, the Milwaukee 2935AL-21 kit comes with aluminum THHN/XHHW bushings instead.

The tool's rated capacity covers 1/0 through 750 MCM copper and aluminum THHN/XHHW, plus 1/0 through 500 MCM copper RHW, RHH, and USE cable with the appropriate bushings. It runs on the M18 platform and is compatible with all M18 batteries, so the packs already on your truck work with it.

Who should buy it? Electrical contractors, industrial electricians, and service crews who strip large copper feeders regularly. If you only prep big wire a few times a year, a manual stripper may be enough. If feeder work is part of your normal week, this kit is faster, more consistent, and far safer than a knife. Electricians who already own M18 batteries can start with the Milwaukee 2935-20 tool-only version and add bushings as needed.

A knife on 500 MCM cable is slow, inconsistent, and an easy way to get cut. The M18 Cable Stripper does the same job with no exposed blade and a controlled, repeatable strip.

• No exposed blades
• Variable speed trigger for controlled strips
• Jacket ejection slot prevents jamming

The Milwaukee M18 Cable Stripper Kit with 17 Cu THHN / XHHW Bushings Retires the Knife

For crews that strip copper feeders every week, this kit pays off in speed, consistency, and fewer trips to the first aid kit.

• Who it's for: Electrical contractors and industrial electricians who prep 1/0 through 750 MCM copper THHN/XHHW regularly.
• Why it stands out: No exposed blades, a 3" depth gauge, nick-preventing bushings, and 17 copper bushings plus battery, charger, and case in one kit.
• Worth knowing: The included bushings are for copper. Aluminum THHN/XHHW and RHW/RHH/USE cable need their own bushings.

• Can it strip aluminum wire? The tool is rated for 1/0 through 750 MCM copper and aluminum THHN/XHHW, but this kit includes copper bushings only. Aluminum requires aluminum bushings.
• Does it work with other brands' bushings? Yes. It accepts all Milwaukee bushings and other brands' quick-change bushings.
• What battery does it use? Any Milwaukee M18 battery. The kit includes one M18 Compact REDLITHIUM battery and a multi-voltage charger.
