Milwaukee 49-16-B159 1.3″ – 1.6″ Adjustable Bushing for M18 FUEL Covered Conductor Cable Stripper

Designed for utility, industrial, and commercial electrical work, the Milwaukee 49-16-B159 sizes your M18 FUEL™ Covered Conductor Cable Stripper for 1.3″–1.6″ outer-diameter covered conductors. It snaps in with a quick-connect interface so crews can match bushing size to the cable at the point of install—no extra tools, fewer delays. A durable aluminum body keeps weight low for bucket and vault work, while laser-etched OD markings and a color-coded ring make selection fast in low light or from the truck. When extended strip lengths are needed and the depth gauge is removed, a free-floating plate helps produce a clean finish to reduce rework at terminations. Part of a six-bushing family covering 0.5″–2.1″ OD ranges, the B159 lets teams standardize on one cordless stripping platform and move confidently between conductor sizes during secondary distribution and medium-voltage jobs.
