WireStripper multifunction electricians' pliers American style 18-10 AWG, 200 mm - Knipex 13 71 8

Anyone working to American conductor sizes needs stripping profiles in AWG and a cutting edge that copes with thick cable. The 13 71 8 WireStripper covers 18-10 AWG solid and 20-12 AWG finely stranded conductors and severs stranded copper cable up to 50 mm², which is AWG 1 / 0.

Benefits

• Precisely ground stripping profiles for conductors from 18-10 AWG solid and 20-12 AWG finely stranded, with location ridges that place the wire in the right profile.
• Innovative cutting edge geometry with particularly powerful edges, according to the manufacturer 50 percent higher cutting capacity and 25 percent less effort than standard wire strippers.
• Easy cutting of multi-core copper and aluminium cables up to 15 mm diameter, that is 1/2 inch.
• Fast burr-free cutting of threaded rods and screws in UNC 6-32 and 8-32 up to property class 4.6, so the thread still takes a nut.
• Multifunctional gripping surfaces for gripping, holding and bending flat and round material as well as twisting wires, plus a clear outer edge for deburring plastic pipe.
• Hybrid tips on the head are flat and wide at once, which gives stability with good access. The integrated opening spring and the locking device operable from either side suit right and left handed users.

Areas of use

Electrical installation to American conductor sizes, switchgear and machine building for export, mounting threaded rod in drywall, and service work with little tooling carried along. For European cross-sections in mm² the metric model 13 71 200 ME is the matching version.

Standards and conformity

The manufacturer states no tool standard for this product and does not list it as an insulated VDE tool. According to the manufacturer it contains no substances of very high concern under REACH, and the RoHS directive does not apply.
