Sterling Fur Standard Plastic Tail Stripper

The Sterling Fur Standard Plastic Tail Stripper is a compact, manually operated fur-handling tool designed to help remove the tail bone while preparing an animal pelt. It provides a straightforward alternative to trying to grip and pull the bone by hand, making it a practical addition to a trapper’s fur shed or pelt-processing kit. The orange plastic body uses a hinged configuration that opens for positioning around the exposed tail bone and closes to create a controlled gripping point. Two different-size openings are built into the tool, allowing the user to select the opening that best fits the tail being handled. To use the stripper, first skin a short distance up the tail to expose enough of the bone for placement. Position the bone in the suitable opening, close the two sides of the tool, and pull the stripper and hide in opposite directions with steady pressure. This action separates the tail skin from the bone so the pelt can move on to the remaining preparation steps. The tool is intended specifically for bone removal; opening or splitting the tail for proper drying is a separate operation performed after the bone has been removed. Its simple hand-powered design requires no bench mounting or adjustment, so it can be stored with other basic skinning and fur-handling supplies and used whenever needed. The durable plastic construction keeps the tool lightweight, while the contrasting orange color makes it readily identifiable among other equipment. Made in the USA, this standard two-opening tail stripper is a focused, economical tool for trappers who want a cleaner and more controlled method of removing tail bones during routine pelt preparation.
