## Long description

Handheld wire stripping tool Knipex 12 21 180 is intended for precise removal of insulation from single- and multi-core conductors with cross-sections from 0.5 to 6 mm². The tool combines a compact construction with precision stripping notches that match common conductor sizes, enabling consistent stripping lengths without damaging the conductor strands. Insulated grips provide additional protection when working near live parts, and the compact head allows access in confined spaces typical for installation and repair tasks.
Advantages
The tool offers exact, repeatable stripping due to calibrated notches for 0.5–6 mm² conductors and is designed to avoid nicking the conductor strands. Insulated handles improve operator safety during electrical work and provide a secure non-slip grip. Its compact design facilitates work in tight enclosures and switchgear, while robust construction ensures long service life under regular professional use.
Suitable for
Stripping insulation from single-core and multi-core copper conductors (0.5–6 mm²)
Electrical installation and maintenance in residential, commercial and industrial settings
Work in distribution boxes, control cabinets and confined installation spaces
Professional electricians and skilled technicians performing repetitive stripping tasks
Key specifications
Stripping range: 0.5–6 mm²
Tool type: hand-operated wire stripper with precision notches
Handle: insulated grips for enhanced electrical safety
Design: compact head for access in confined spaces
Construction: durable steel body with precision-ground stripping edges
How to use
Select the stripping notch corresponding to the conductor cross-section, place the conductor so the insulation aligns with the notch, then squeeze the handles to cut the insulation and pull the tool away from the conductor to remove the sleeve. For multi-core cables, separate individual conductors first and strip each conductor separately. Maintain a steady hand and use the compact head to position the tool in narrow spaces; avoid excessive twisting motion to prevent damage to the conductor strands.
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the stripping edges for wear and clean any debris to maintain precision. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working near live circuits and verify de-energized conditions where required. Store the tool dry and apply light lubrication to the pivot joint periodically to ensure smooth operation.
