Knipex 11 06 160 Universal Insulation Stripper Opening Spring 160mm VDE

The Knipex 11 06 160 is a 160 mm VDE-tested universal insulation stripper with opening spring, designed to strip plastic and rubber insulation from single, multi-stranded, and fine-stranded conductors up to 10 mm² or O 5.0 mm without damaging the conductor. A knurled adjustment screw with lock nut allows precise, repeatable settings that hold throughout extended work sessions.
