Overview
The KNIPEX 12 12 06 Automatic Wire Stripper delivers precise, form-fit stripping of both standard and difficult-to-remove insulating materials — including PTFE, silicone, Radox®, Kapton®, and rubber — as well as multi-layer insulations. Two pairs of hardened blades completely cut the insulation with an annular cut, then move apart to cleanly remove it without nicking conductors. A second blade pair holds the remaining insulation reliably in place during the stripping procedure. The pliers body opens automatically after each strip cycle for high-speed repetitive work.
Built for electricians, panel builders, and wiring harness technicians who require consistent, damage-free wire preparation on fine conductors through medium cables.
Features
- Form-fit blade design for precise stripping across six conductor cross-sections (0.14–0.25 / 0.75 / 1.5 / 2.5 / 4.0 / 6.0 mm²)
- Replaceable shaped blades adapted precisely to each conductor diameter
- Second blade pair retains stripped insulation — prevents debris scatter
- Includes length stop for consistent, repeatable stripping length
- Strips difficult insulations: PTFE, silicone, Radox®, Kapton®, rubber, and multi-layer types
- Pliers body opens automatically after each stripping cycle
- Multi-component grip handles for comfort during extended use
- Burnished pliers body and blade finish for corrosion resistance
