The Knipex 13 66 180 StriX® Insulation Stripper with Cable Shears is a professional multi-purpose electrical tool designed for stripping insulation and cutting copper cable with precision and safety. Engineered for electricians and installers, this high-performance tool combines durability, accuracy, and ergonomic handling in a slim, easy-to-use design.

Manufactured from high-grade tool steel that has been forged and oil-hardened multiple times, these pliers provide exceptional strength, long service life, and reliable performance in demanding electrical environments. The chrome plated finish offers excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring the tool maintains its quality even with regular professional use.

The adjustable stripping system features a knurled screw and lock nut, allowing quick and accurate adjustment to suit different diameters of both solid and stranded wires. It is ideal for stripping single, multiple and fine stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation up to 5.0mm diameter or 10mm² cable cross section.

For added versatility, the tool is fitted with an integrated shear blade for cutting copper cables up to 15mm (5 x 2.5mm²), making it a convenient two-in-one solution for electrical installation work. The precision bolted joint ensures smooth operation with zero backlash, delivering consistent cutting and stripping results.

The pliers feature a slim profile for easy access into confined spaces, while the multi-component grips provide comfort, control and secure handling. Marked increments in the jaws also act as a visual guide for stripping consistent insulation lengths of 11mm and 16mm, helping improve accuracy and efficiency during repetitive tasks.

For maximum safety, the tool is VDE tested up to 10,000V and approved for work up to 1,000V, meeting DIN EN / IEC 60900 standards, making it ideal for professional electrical installations and maintenance work.
