KNIPEX Wire Stripping Tool for Coax and Data Cable, 125 mm, 16 60 06 SB

The KNIPEX Wire Stripping Tool for coax and data cable is a versatile tool that offers efficient and precise stripping of various cables. While it is primarily designed for coaxial cables, it can also be used for stripping Ethernet cables such as Cat5 and Cat6. One of the standout features of this tool is its adjustable blade depth, which allows for precise stripping of the cable's outer sheath. The tool is easy to use and provides a clean and neat strip. It is especially useful for stripping coaxial cables, as it can strip both the sheath and inner insulating layer in one go. The inclusion of a small Velcro strip on the bottom of the tool is a thoughtful addition. It can be used for back combing the braid of the cable once the insulation has been stripped off, resulting in a neater job. However, this step can also be done by hand if preferred. In terms of compatibility, the tool is suitable for coaxial and data cables, but it may also work with smaller round three-core flex cables. It is worth noting that it may not be suitable for larger three-core cables with a 1.5mm2 size. While the tool may not be ideal for cutting the two different depths required for a sky twin cable connection, it is still a useful tool for a variety of cable stripping needs. It is important to compare the outer diameter of the cable with the versions given in the product's advert to ensure compatibility. Overall, the KNIPEX Wire Stripping Tool for coax and data cable is a reliable and efficient tool for stripping various cables. Its adjustable blade depth and inclusion of a Velcro strip make it a convenient and versatile option for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
