Cable knife with replaceable blade and folding blade guard, 190 mm, blister card - Knipex 98 56 SB

When stripping the sheath off a cable the blade decides both speed and safety, a dull edge forces you to push and then slips. Cable knife 98 56 SB works with a straight, specially ground blade that can be replaced once worn instead of discarding the whole tool.

Benefits

• Straight blade with a special grind, replaceable, so the knife stays usable for the long run.
• Folding blade guard, captive in the handle, protects the edge and the tool bag during transport.
• Back of the blade is plastic coated to avoid short circuits.
• Handle with slip guard, the hand does not run onto the blade during the cut.
• SB version on a self-service blister card, suited to the retail display wall.

Areas of use

Sheath removal and longitudinal cuts on cables and wiring in electrical installation, control cabinet building and service work. The folding guard makes the knife suitable for the tool belt and the service bag.
