Cable stripper NEO tools 01-557, depth 220 mm, weight 448 g, single-piece

NEO tools 01-557 is a handheld cable stripper designed for removing insulation from electrical and photovoltaic cables. The tool provides a working or stripping depth of 220 mm and weighs 448 g. Built as a single-piece manual instrument, it features adjustable stripping length and a rebound spring to reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. The design accommodates a range of conductor sizes commonly used in PV and electrical installations, allowing straightforward insulation removal without power assistance.

Advantages

The stripper combines a compact, single-piece construction with an adjustable stripping length and a recoil spring mechanism that returns the blades to the open position, reducing user effort. Its manual operation makes it portable and safe for site use where powered tools are impractical. The tool is suitable for both photovoltaic cables and standard electrical wires, offering controlled, repeatable stripping performance for conductors within the supported diameter range.

Suitable for

• Stripping insulation on photovoltaic (PV) cables during solar panel installation and maintenance
• Preparing electrical conductors for termination or connection in residential and commercial wiring
• Field service and repair work where a hand tool is preferred over powered stripping devices
• Workshops and assembly stations handling cables from 0.25 mm² to 6 mm²

Key specifications

• Working/stripping depth: 220 mm
• Nominal length (tool body): approximately 200 mm
• Supported conductor cross-sections: 0.25 mm² to 6 mm²
• Weight: 448 g
• Construction: single-piece handheld stripper with adjustable stripping length
• Additional feature: rebound (return) spring to reduce hand strain

How to use

Place the cable into the stripper jaws at the desired position and set the adjustable stop to determine the length of insulation to remove. Close the tool around the cable until the cutting edges engage the insulation, then pull the tool or cable as required to extract the insulation sheath. The rebound spring will open the jaws after stripping, preparing the tool for the next operation. Use steady, controlled motion and avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the conductor.

Usage recommendations

For best results, confirm the conductor cross-section falls within the supported 0.25–6 mm² range and adjust the stripping length before each operation. Inspect blades periodically for wear and keep the tool clean and dry. When working on live circuits, follow proper safety procedures and ensure power is isolated before stripping insulation.
