Wire stripper with spring opening, universal with multi-component handles, insulated according to VDE chrome-plated 160 mm 11 06 160

Universal wire strippers – precision and safety in one tool

Wire strippers from KNIPEX are a reliable choice for both professional installers and demanding home users. Designed for precise removal of insulation from solid, stranded and fine-stranded wires, they ensure clean and safe electrical connections. The chrome-plated head guarantees corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, and the opening spring makes work easier, saving time and energy.

Functionality and construction

These pliers allow stripping insulation from wires with a diameter of up to 5 mm or a cross-section of 10 mm². Adjustment of the distance between the jaws using a screw and lock nut allows you to adapt the tool to different wire thicknesses, ensuring precise and controlled insulation removal. Made of special tool steel, oil-hardened and tempered, and then chrome-plated – this guarantees durability and reliability even in difficult working conditions. Handles with multi-component plastic overlays provide comfortable use and a secure grip, minimizing fatigue during prolonged work. Additionally, insulation up to 1000V (compliant with IEC 60900, DIN EN 60900 and VDE 0682/part 201) provides the highest level of safety when working under voltage.

Application and benefits

• Versatility: Ideal for working with various types of wires – solid, stranded and fine-stranded.
• Precision: Adjustment of the distance between the jaws allows for a perfect fit to the wire diameter.
• Safety: 1000V insulation provides protection against electric shock.
