Automatic flat cable stripping pliers for PVC cables up to 12 mm wide, 180 mm - Knipex 12 64 180

Flat cables such as Twin and Earth or NM-B can hardly be stripped cleanly with a round cable tool, the blade hits the cores. These pliers strip the sheath from PVC-insulated flat cables up to 12 mm wide and adapt automatically to cross-sections from 0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm², leaving the conductors undamaged.

Benefits

• For stripping the sheath from PVC-insulated flat cables up to a maximum width of 12 mm, suitable for example for Twin and Earth or NM-B cables.
• Automatic adaptation to cables from 0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm², matching AWG 18 to 14, so the conductors are not damaged.
• The cable can be pushed through, so long stripping distances are possible in a single operation.
• Quick blade change when worn thanks to the maintenance-friendly blade unit.
• Low-strain work and maximum transmission of force from the ergonomic two-component handle with a soft grip zone, combined with a smooth-running mechanism.
• Robust and light thanks to a tool body made of glass fibre reinforced plastic, 125 g at a length of 180 mm.

Areas of use

Electrical installation in residential and commercial building, distribution board and control cabinet work, service and maintenance, wherever PVC flat cables are terminated in series. Especially with Anglo-Saxon cable types such as Twin and Earth the tool saves time compared with a knife and avoids nicking the cores.
