## Long description

Knipex Dismantling Knife 98 55 is a VDE-insulated hand tool designed for safe stripping, cutting and dismantling of cables and wiring in electrical installations. The tool combines a compact, sickle-shaped fixed hook blade with a multi-component insulating handle that has been VDE-tested to IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900 standards, providing controlled cutting and reduced risk when working near live conductors.
