Knipex 1426160SB VDE Diagonal Insulation Stripper and Side Cutters

The Knipex 14 26 Series VDE side cutters and wire strippers are designed for precision work in electrical applications. Built with multi‑component grips and a chrome‑plated finish, these pliers are forged from vanadium electric special tool steel and oil hardened for durability. The tools feature flat round jaws with a serrated edge to improve grip, and cutting edges that provide a clean cut. They include precision stripping holes for single conductors of 1.5 and 2.5 mm², and are suitable for gripping and cutting tasks in precision mechanics. The heavy‑duty induction‑hardened blades are optimized for soft wire up to 4.0 mm in diameter and are hardened to approximately 60 HRC. The long tips support ultra‑fine cutting work in confined spaces, and the design enables convenient cutting of NYM cables up to 5 x 2.5 mm². Overall, the tool combines cutting and stripping functionality in a compact 160 mm length for versatility in professional electrical work.
