The lightweight with the tangible advantages

When it comes to the occasional stripping of cables, such as during a lighting installation, model making, working on the motorhome or installing additional sockets, the Knipex 12 62 180 is a good choice. It offers plenty of relief for both DIY enthusiasts and professional users. On the one hand, there is no need to adjust to different conductor cross-sections, because the pliers do this automatically, on the other hand, thanks to the slim head shape, stripping is also possible in hard-to-reach places, such as in junction boxes. For shortening cables, a wire cutter for Cu and Al conductors up to 2.5 mm² is on board. Thus, the user needs one less tool.

Convenient stripping of standard single layer insulation

The cable to be stripped is inserted into the pliers from the front and pushed up to the individually adjustable length stop. After that, the pliers only need to be operated on the handle. The stripping process is carried out automatically in the pliers. The insulation is cut only as deep as necessary to peel off the insulation layer.

Saves time and hand power - increases safety

No need to adjust the hand force to the insulation thickness or remove the insulation by hand. These pliers insulate comfortably, quickly and, above all, safely. Due to the automatic protection of the conductors, you are able to produce VDE-compliant stripping - in just two steps: insert the cable, operate pliers.
