Knipex Automatic Wire Stripper 12 62 180 SB - 180mm Self-Adjusting

Compact and Versatile

The Knipex 12 62 180 meets the needs of DIY enthusiasts and professionals for occasional stripping tasks. Whether for installing light fixtures, model building, equipping a camper van, or adding electrical outlets, this tool combines efficiency and ease of handling. Its automatic adjustment for conductor cross-sections eliminates tedious manual settings, while its slim head design allows access to confined spaces such as distribution boxes. An integrated wire cutter handles copper and aluminum conductors up to 2.5 mm², eliminating the need for an additional tool.

Automatic Stripping

Cable insertion is performed from the front of the pliers up to the adjustable length stop. Squeezing the handles activates the stripping mechanism: the insulation is scored at the optimal depth for removal without damage. This process preserves the integrity of solid, stranded, and fine-stranded conductors when handled according to recommendations.

Ergonomics and Safety

This plier significantly outperforms classic manual models and traditional cutting-stripping pliers commonly used in electrical troubleshooting. No adjustment of pressure according to insulation thickness is required, nor manual removal of the insulation. The operation is completed in only two steps: position the cable, squeeze the pliers. The automatic conductor protection ensures stripping compliant with VDE standards, quickly and safely.

Professional Design

Born from decades of expertise in tool design and continuous improvements, this plier incorporates the strictest quality requirements. It preserves the conductor during operation while optimizing user comfort. Designed to withstand years of intensive use in professional environments, it combines robustness and longevity to serve electronics and electrical professionals.
