The fine adjustment allows for precise setting of the blades for specific materials or temperature conditions. It is a compact, handy, and lightweight tool for common cable cross-sections and insulation materials. Suitable for single, multi, and fine-stranded conductors from 0.2 to 6 mm² with standard insulation. The slim head shape enables use in hard-to-reach work areas. Equipped with a wire cutter for copper and aluminum conductors up to a maximum of 2.5 mm². Features an adjustable length stop from 6.0 to 18.0 mm for consistent stripping lengths.
Pro
- Good quality
- Works very well
- Very light
Contra
- No instructions supplied
- Cable must have a certain length
- could be a little cheaper ;-)

2. Knipex Insulation Stripper
Insulation cable cutter with interchangeable blades for four or six different conductor cross-sections. Thanks to precisely ground blade shapes, the wire remains undamaged; even multi-stranded conductors are gently stripped. During the stripping process, the wire is securely held by clamping jaws. It features a length stop for consistent stripping lengths during repetitive work. The capacity includes half-moon, square millimeter, square drives, step squares, triangular, and clamping widths for hexagonal, round, and square tubes.

3. Knipex Insulation Stripper
Insulation cable stripper with interchangeable blades for four (adjusted to diameter) or six (adjusted to cross-sections) different conductor cross-sections. The precision-ground blade shapes do not damage the wire; even multi-stranded conductors are gently stripped. During stripping, the wire is held securely by clamping jaws. It features a length stop for a consistent stripping length during repetitive work. The capacity includes half-moons, square millimeters, square drives, step squares, triangular shapes, and clamping widths for hexagonal, round, and square forms.

4. Knipex Pliers Wrench
The adjustable wrench replaces a set of wrenches, both metric and imperial. The smooth jaws allow for gentle installation of surface-finished fittings and work directly on chrome. It is also excellent for gripping, holding, pressing, and bending workpieces. There is no edge damage to sensitive fittings due to the play-free, full-surface contact. The quick adjustment via a push button occurs directly on the workpiece. There is no unintended adjustment of the gripping jaws and no slipping of the joint. The stroke between the gripping jaws allows for quick tightening and loosening of screw connections using the ratchet principle. The high clamping force is achieved through a tenfold amplification of hand force. Capacities: half-moon, mm², connection square, square, step square, triangular, clamping range hexagon, clamping range round, clamping range square, span.
