Replaces several tools

Electricians normally use several tools for different types of cable such as round, coaxial and data cable: the requirements of wire stripping differ too much to contain them in one tool. At least that has been the case until now. With the new Knipex ErgoStrip, a number of tools can be left in the tool bag during installation work. This universal dismantling and wire stripping tool makes it possible to dismantle and strip all standard cables in modern house wiring with a few hand movements and without changing tools.

Ergonomic and universal – the trick with the bend

The functional versatility of the universal dismantling and wire stripping tool lies in its design. The two-shell pistol handle design has made it possible to integrate several functions – and the ErgoStrip also sits extremely well in the hand. The ends of the tool are tapered at the front, thereby permitting space-saving dismantling work in flush mounted sockets. Markings inside the tool permit accurately repeated stripping of single conductors and dismantling of coax cables. A simple twist movement when dismantling and stripping, or a straightforward slit in the case of long dismantling distances, and the desired result is achieved.

Slit on the cable, with limit stop in the junction box, accurately on the single conductor

The preparatory work before wiring on a terminal box, distribution box, power or network sockets, can be carried out accurately and in a time-saving manner using the KNIPEX ErgoStrip: slits on the cable to dismantle longer sections, dismantling deep in surface and flush mounted sockets to leave the minimum sheathing required; stripping single conductors and – very important in today’s house wiring – the dismantling and stripping of coaxial cables for satellite and cable networks as well as data cables for home networks (LAN).

Special tool from Knipex: well thought out, useful and tough

KNIPEX has a wide range of special tools for the electronics and electrical industries. During dismantling and wire stripping work, the KNIPEX ErgoStrip offers a previously unavailable variety of functions and eases the burden. The great benefits of the tools and safe, comfortable use in everyday work are the results of decades of experience building tools, constant product development and the commitment by KNIPEX towards high quality standards.

• The sheathing on long sections of cable is cut into accurately using an inset blade for slitting, and can then be removed simply.
• The KNIPEX ErgoStrip is fitted with six wire stripping blades for cross-sections of 0.2; 0.3; 0.8; 1.5; 2.5 and 4.0.
• Many common types of round and damp-proof cable, e.g. NYM cable from 3 x 1.5 mm² to 5 x 2.5 mm² and outer diameter of 8 to 13 mm, are dismantled quickly and cleanly.
• Coax and data cable are precisely stripped – accurately repeated where necessary thanks to integrated length scale.
