KNIPEX 16 95 03 SB ErgoStrip® PV cable stripper for solar cells

Wire and cable stripper KNIPEX 16 95 03 SB ErgoStrip® PV for solar applications
A high-quality hand tool from Knipex, Germany, combining stripping and dismantling functions for a wide variety of cable types into a single tool. This "PV" model is specially featured for efficiently working on solar cables with diameters of 4-6 mm. In addition, it can be used with common round cables such as NYM cables (3 x 1.5 mm² to 5 x 2.5 mm²), data cables (Twisted Pair, CAT 5-7), and coaxial cables. The tool features an innovative, ergonomic pistol-grip design that makes cutting, stripping, and slitting cable sheaths easy and convenient. The tapered ends allow for better access in confined areas. Stripping grooves for single conductors feature locating ridges for easy cable insertion. Comes with an opening spring and locking latch for convenient operation and storage. Multi-component handles with a soft plastic zone provide a secure and comfortable grip.
