KNIPEX Wire Strippers

KNIPEX wire strippers are hand-operated tools designed to precisely strip insulation from the ends of wires without nicking or damaging the conductor underneath. They are used to prepare wires before fitting wire connectors, such as cable lugs, or before making an electrical connection.

The KNIPEX range includes manual stripping pliers and automatic wire strippers. Manual models require operator adjustment and have cutting edges that can be set to match the conductor diameter, making them suitable for repeatedly stripping wires of the same size. Automatic models adjust to the wire cross-section and remove the insulation as the handles are squeezed, helping operators work efficiently across different wire sizes.

KNIPEX wire strippers are commonly used by electricians, electrical engineers, panel builders, automotive technicians and electronics engineers working in construction, manufacturing, telecommunications and renewable energy.
