Knipex ErgoStrip® Universal Stripping Tool – Left Handed

Knipex ErgoStrip® Universal Stripping Tool – Left Handed is a professional cable stripping tool designed for fast, precise and comfortable dismantling of common installation, data and coaxial cables. Specifically engineered for left-handed users, this tool delivers excellent control and efficiency for electrical, lighting and AV installations. Product code: KPX169502.

Ideal for stripping round and damp-proof installation cables (such as NYM), twisted pair data cables and coaxial cables, the ErgoStrip® features an innovative ergonomic pistol-grip design. This allows cutting, stripping and longitudinal sheath cutting to be carried out easily with one hand, even in confined spaces.

The slim, conical tool ends improve access in tight installations, while integrated stripping locations accommodate common conductor sizes. A spring opening aid simplifies insertion of coax and data cables, and the multi-component construction with soft-grip zones ensures comfort and secure handling during prolonged use.
