DEPTH GAUGE

A depth gauge is provided that is configured to be removably coupled to a tool. The depth gauge having a gauge body, a coupling means to removably couple the gauge body to the tool and a fiducial on the gauge body whereby the fiducial signifies a distance between the fiducial and a portion of the tool. In some embodiments, the coupling means comprises a magnet. In some embodiments, the tool is a wire stripper whereby when the wire stripper is actuated on a coated wire, the wire stripper cuts a portion of the wire coating equal to the distance defined by the fiducial. In some embodiments, the fiducial comprises an abutment protruding from the gauge body. In some embodiments, the depth gauge has multiple fiducials and the gauge body and the fiducials are formed as one piece.
