Stripping knife with fixed hook blade for round cable, 28 mm blade, VDE insulated, 170 mm - Knipex 98 53 03

Opening the sheath of a round cable must not score the cores underneath. The 98 53 03 stripping knife therefore uses a fixed hook blade of 28 mm length with a 7 mm radius that pulls outwards and tears the sheath open instead of cutting into it blind.

Benefits

• Solid fixed hook blade with a 7 mm radius, suitable for round cables.
• 28 mm blade of oil-hardened special tool steel for a long service life of the cutting edge.
• Ergonomically shaped handle with a comfortable slip guard for a safe hold while pulling.
• Non-slip soft component in the handle, also with damp hands.
• Thumb recess and finger hook at the end of the handle give a good transmission of force when the knife is pulled.
• Insulated handle sleeves, VDE tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900, plus a transparent protective cap.
