KNIPEX 12 74 180 universele striptang voor ronde, data-, coax- en platte kabels, 180 mm

Stripping round cables, data cables, coax cables and flat cables often requires multiple tools and careful handling to avoid damaging inner conductors. The KNIPEX 12 74 180 solves this with a single universal stripping tool that combines circular cutting, longitudinal slitting and wire cutting in one ergonomic pistol-grip design.

Who is it for

Electricians, network installers and multimedia technicians who regularly work with domestic installation cables, CAT 5/6/7 data lines, coaxial cables and flat cables. Its slim conical ends reach into confined spaces such as junction boxes and patch panels.

Tips

For clean longitudinal cuts on round cables, set the blade depth using the adjustment wheel and test on a scrap piece first. The rotating blade mechanism allows switching between circular and longitudinal cutting without repositioning the tool.
