KNIPEX 12 40 200 Front stripper

The KNIPEX 12 40 200 is a self-regulating insulating cutter designed to work with solid, multicore and finely stranded conductors with plastic or rubber insulation. This tool is particularly useful for working with THHN cables and conductors with a cross section between 0.03 and 10.0 mm².

Key Features

• Self-regulating: it automatically adapts to the cable section, preventing damage to the conductor.
• Insulation cutting: the cutting depth can be adjusted for different insulation materials by rotating the red wheel.
• Cable cutter: includes a cable cutter for copper and aluminum wires, multicore up to 10 mm² and monocore up to 6 mm².
• Operating mechanism: smooth and light operating mechanism.
• Blade and clamps: easily replaceable plastic blade and clamps.
• Retainer length: adjustable length stop for smooth cuts during repetitive jobs.
• Material: body in plastic reinforced with fiberglass, blade in special oil-hardened steel.
