For single, multiple and fine stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation up to Ø 5.0 mm or 10 mm²
Easy adjustment to the required diameter of solid or stranded wire with knurled screw and lock nut
For plastic and rubber insulation materials
As standard wire strippers, the insulated and VDE tested Knipex 11 06 160 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.
Proven knurled screw for adjusting the conductor cross-section
The pliers are set to the conductor cross-section using the knurled screw so that only the insulation is cut into without damaging the conductor. The knurled screw is secured with the inset lock nut to maintain the precise adjustment even during longer periods of work. This simple technology has been tried and tested by electricians for decades.
