Knipex 12 06 7 3/4" Automatic Wire Stripper 0.14-6.0 mm2

• Form-fit stripping of difficult-to-remove insulating materials made of PTFE, silicone, Radox®, Kapton® and rubber; multi-layer too
• A second pair of blades holds the remaining insulation reliably in place
• Replaceable shaped blade adapted precisely to the respective conductor cross-section
• With length stop for constant stripping length during repetitive work
• Blade: special tool steel, oil-hardened
• Pliers body: steel

Precision-wire strippers for special insulation materials

Two pairs of blades: division of labour for the desired result

The Knipex 12 12 06 wire strippers have been specially developed for very tough and hard insulation materials which need to almost be cut through entirely so that they can be pulled off. Two pairs of blades cut into the entire circumference of the cable insulation. The blades have been shaped and ground so that the cut gets very close to the conductor. After scoring, one of the pairs of blades remains still and secures the insulation that has been cut into. The other pair of blades strips the insulation to be removed from the cable.

Knipex 12 12 06 precision wire strippers for demanding insulation materials

"Insulation made of materials such as PTFE, silicone, Radox, Kapton and rubber must withstand a great deal, including being heat-resistant and tough. Separating such insulation from single conductors during wire stripping is equally demanding. It is difficult or frequently impossible to achieve clean results using conventional wire stripping tools in such circumstances. With the Knipex 12 12 06 wire strippers, even stripping difficult to remove insulation is achieved accurately and reliably – in one time-saving operation. You can find other Knipex wire strippers from this series for tough, hard, multilayer and fibre-reinforced insulation materials in the table below."

Insert cable, press pliers closed – cable is stripped

The work saved by these wire strippers is immense. After inserting the cable, the entire wire stripping process takes place as if by itself with one press of the hand. Even insulation materials that are difficult to process are reliably removed with precise and, thanks to the length stop, accurate repeat measurements: an advantage for fitters, e.g. in the areas of energy technology, plant and automotive engineering.

Knipex precision wire strippers with adapted blades

They offer good everyday benefits, even with non-everyday insulation materials that are difficult to strip.

The great benefits of the tools and their safe, comfortable use are the results of decades of experience making pliers, continuous development and Knipex’s commitment to high quality standards.

Pliers from Knipex are built for many years of use in a professional environment.

Four-blade principle: step 1

Two pairs of blades cut into the entire circumference of the hard, tough insulation with a circular cut.

Four-blade principle: step 2

One pair of blades (in the left-hand picture) holds the remaining part of the insulation tight, while the second removes the part to be stripped.

Circular cut for tough, hard insulation materials

Two blades cut right round the PTFE, silicone, Radox, Kapton and rubber insulation for ideal results.

Two pairs of blades cut parallel into the insulation, and remove it with a separating movement
