KNIPEX 16 50 145 SB Stripping Knife with Guide Shoe and Ratchet Function

The Knipex 16 50 145 SB is a stripping knife with guide shoe and ratchet function designed for removing the outer sheaths of cables and round cables. The ratchet mechanism enables clean cuts through even very robust or hard plastic sheaths, while the integrated guide shoe prevents damage to the conductor insulations underneath. Three distinct cutting areas on the replaceable hook blade allow both circumferential and longitudinal cuts in a single tool.
