Wire Stripping Pliers NWS 145-69-160 — 160 mm length, ergonomic handles

Wire Stripping Pliers NWS 145-69-160 are compact hand tools with a 160 mm overall length and ergonomically shaped handles, developed for precise manual removal of wire insulation. The design focuses on controlled stripping of various insulated conductors while maintaining a small footprint for work in confined spaces. These pliers combine cutting and stripping functions to support electrical installation, maintenance and workshop tasks that require accurate insulation removal without damaging conductor strands.

Advantages

The ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive stripping operations and improve grip security. A compact 160 mm length enables access to tight areas and makes the pliers easy to carry in a pocket or tool bag. The tool affords precise insulation removal thanks to well-aligned jaws and a dedicated stripping profile, while integrated cutting capacity simplifies workflow by allowing clean trimming of conductors.

Suitable for

• Stripping insulation from single-core and multi-core wires in electrical installations
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and technical facilities
• Assembly and wiring work in cabinets, control panels and junction boxes
• Field service tasks where a compact, multifunctional hand tool is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Handle type: ergonomic, non-slip profile
• Functionality: wire stripping and cutting
• Material: hardened steel jaws for wear resistance
• Suitable conductor types: insulated single- and multi-core wires

How to use

Hold the pliers by the ergonomic handles and position the wire between the stripping jaws at the required length. Close the handles gently to engage the stripping profile and pull the pliers away from the end of the wire to remove insulation in a single motion. For cutting, position the conductor in the cutting notch, squeeze the handles firmly and trim to the desired length. Maintain controlled pressure to avoid nicking or damaging conductor strands.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool before use and keep the jaws clean and free of debris. Use the pliers on wires within the recommended size range for best results, and avoid excessive force that could deform the stripping profile. Store in a dry place and apply light oil to pivot points periodically to preserve smooth operation.
