Knipex VDE StriX Insulation Stripper & Cable Shears, 180mm
VDE-tested Knipex StriX tool: precision insulation stripper & cable shears, 5mm/10mm² capacity, 180mm. Safe for 1,000V.
The Knipex VDE StriX Insulation Stripper combines precision stripping with cable cutting in a robust, professional-grade tool. Featuring multi-component grips and VDE testing up to 10,000V, it’s certified safe for work up to 1,000V, complying with DIN EN / IEC 60900 standards. Its forged, oil-hardened high-grade tool steel construction and chrome-plated finish ensure durability and corrosion resistance. The knurled screw and lock nut allow easy adjustment for solid or stranded wires, while the integrated shear blade cuts copper cable up to 15mm (5 x 2.5mm²).
Designed for precise operation, the tool’s bolted joint eliminates backlash, and its slim profile facilitates access in tight spaces. The jaws include incremental markings (11mm and 16mm) for consistent stripping lengths, ideal for single/multiple-stranded conductors with plastic/rubber insulation (max 5.0mm or 10mm² cross-section).
