KNIPEX 1102160 WIRE STRIPPER 160MM

As standard wire strippers, the Knipex 11 02 160 are mainly used for wiring frequently laid NYM cable (NYM stands for “standardised cable / PVC wire insulation / sheathed cable“). Fitters who want to wire a large number of sockets in one work step while consistently stripping wires with 1.5 mm², for example, have the right tool to hand to remove the insulation from conductors up to Ø 5 mm or a 10 mm² conductor cross-section. These pliers are also the right tool for stripping flexible conductors in rubber cable as connection or extension lead. Knipex 11 02 160 wire strippers are forged from special tool steel and additionally oil-hardened. The opening spring nestles the pliers gently in the user’s hand, thereby substantially reducing strain in hand muscles when holding the pliers tight. As a basic protection against rust, the wire strippers are phosphate-treated in black. The head of the pliers has a precision finish. Thanks to this machining and finishing step, when used correctly this prepares the pliers for a long tool life. With their multi-component grips, the handles sit comfortably in the hand. For single, multiple and fine stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation up to 5.0 mm dia. or 10 mm² cable cross-section. Easy adjustment to the required diameter of solid or stranded wire with knurled screw and lock nut. Special tool steel, forged, oil-hardened
