The Knipex 12 64 180 cable stripper is designed for precise removal of PVC insulation from flat cables. It accepts flat cables up to 12 mm wide with conductor cross-sections from 0.75 to 2.5 mm². The tool features a compact 125 mm length, a lightweight fibre-glass reinforced plastic body and an oil-hardened special tool steel blade that is replaceable.

Advantages

The automatic adaptation to different conductor heights reduces the risk of conductor damage and allows long stripping lengths. A smoothly operating mechanism and low weight of 180 g contribute to comfortable, controlled handling. The replaceable blade and durable materials increase service life.

The mechanism adapts automatically to conductor height; if the blade becomes dull, replace it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
