KNIPEX 12 12 11 Precision Wire Stripper with Shaped Blades

KNIPEX 12 12 11 Precision Wire Stripper with Shaped Blades 
The ultimate precision for stripping special insulation on small wires! The KNIPEX 12 12 11 Precision Wire Stripper with Shaped Blades, 195 mm in length, is a high-end tool straight from Germany. Specially designed to tackle difficult-to-strip or particularly tough insulation materials on compact wires—such as PTFE, Silicone, Radox®, Kapton®, and Rubber, as well as double-insulated wires—for conductor sizes 0.15 - 1.5 mm² (AWG 26 - 16).
The operating mechanism utilizes custom formed-blade technology that cuts through the insulation around the wire's circumference cleanly and pulls the insulation off automatically in a single movement, without causing the slightest damage to the copper conductor or fine stranded wires inside. It features an adjustable length stop that can be precisely set to ensure consistent stripping lengths on every wire. The tool body is crafted from specially hardened high-grade steel, and the ergonomically designed multi-component grips provide a comfortable hold, distributing pressure evenly to reduce fatigue during continuous work.
Features
Shaped Blades Technology: The blades accurately match the cable diameter, cutting through the insulation cleanly in all directions without nicking the conductor core
Supports high heat-resistant and tough-to-strip insulations: Strips insulation types such as PTFE, Silicone, Radox®, Kapton®, Rubber, and double-insulated layers on small wires cleanly and smoothly
Single-stroke automatic stripping mechanism: With just one squeeze of the handles, the blades cut and strip the insulation immediately for fast, convenient operation
Adjustable Length Stop: Features a scale for setting the stripping length, ensuring every stripped wire has a consistent length according to assembly standards.
Multi-Component Grips: Ergonomically designed, soft and comfortable to the touch, distributing pressure and preventing slipping during use
Easy blade replacement system: Blades and clamping jaws can be replaced when worn, cost-effectively extending the tool's service life
Applications (Suitable for)
High-end industrial production lines and control panel assembly: Ideal for electricians and engineers working with small, specialized wires in control panels, machinery, and automation systems
Aerospace, automotive, and military systems: Compatible with high-temperature insulated wires such as PTFE or Kapton® requiring micron-level precision
Electronics and medical equipment maintenance: For high-precision wire stripping where not a single copper strand may be damaged
