The Knipex 13 62 180 StriX Insulation Stripper with Cable Shears is a 180 mm combination tool that integrates a precision wire stripper and a cable shears in a single plier. It strips solid, stranded, and fine-stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation up to 5.0 mm diameter (10.0 mm) and cuts copper and aluminium cables up to 15 mm diameter (50 mm) with its induction-hardened integrated shears. Stripping blade depth is set universally via a knurled screw, and the slim profile provides good access in confined spaces.
