Wire Stripper Knipex MultiStrip 10 1242195

The Knipex MultiStrip 10 (1242195) is a compact, lightweight automatic wire stripper for professional electrical work. It strips commercially used single-, multi- and fine-stranded conductors with standard insulation across the full capacity range from 0.03 to 10.0 mm² without manual fine adjustment and without damaging the conductor. The tool body is made of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic and the blade is oil-hardened special tool steel. A replaceable blade block and length stop extend service life, while an integrated cutting edge enables cutting of copper and aluminium conductors (multi-stranded up to 10 mm², single-stranded up to 6 mm²).

Advantages

The automatic adjustment mechanism ensures precise stripping for a wide range of conductor sizes, eliminating the need for manual fine tuning. Hardened steel clamping jaws with an integrated cutting edge hold cables securely without slipping and without damaging the remaining insulation. The tool features particularly smooth-running mechanics and low weight for reduced operator fatigue. A handle with a soft-plastic zone provides a steady grip, and replaceable blade blocks increase longevity.

Suitable for

• Stripping single-stranded conductors from 0.03 to 10.0 mm²
• Stripping multi-stranded and fine-stranded conductors from 0.03 to 10.0 mm²
• Cutting copper and aluminium conductors (multi-stranded up to 10 mm², single-stranded up to 6 mm²)
• Electrical installation, maintenance and network cabling work

How to use

Place the conductor into the tool’s stripping position and squeeze the handles. The MultiStrip 10 automatically adjusts to the conductor size and strips the insulation to the preset length without additional fine adjustment. For cutting, position the conductor in the integrated cutting edge and squeeze the handles until the conductor is severed. Replace the blade block when wear affects stripping or cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only on conductors with standard insulation within the specified range (0.03–10.0 mm²). Avoid using on insulated cables not intended for mechanical stripping or on hardened steel conductors. Keep blades clean and replace the blade block when performance declines; inspect the tool regularly for damage.
