StriX insulation stripper with cable shears, insulated and VDE tested, chrome plated, 180 mm, blister card - Knipex 13 66 180 SB

Up on the ladder both tools are needed one after the other: first cut the cable to length, then strip the cores. The StriX 13 66 180 SB brings both together in one 180 mm tool, and the integrated cable shears cut copper and aluminium cables up to 15 mm diameter cleanly and without crushing.

• Strips solid, stranded and finely stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation up to 5 mm diameter or 10 mm² cross-section.
• Universal adjustment of the stripping blades by a knurled screw, the tool is matched to the conductor without an extra key.
• Visual guide through a step in the jaw for the common stripping lengths of 11 mm and 16 mm.
• Slim design for good access in boxes, distribution boards and narrow installation shafts.
• Insulated handles with multi-component grips, VDE tested, pliers and head chrome plated.
