KNIPEX Dismantling Knife-1000V Insulated

It is not cheap but worth the money, works great for tray cable outer jacket paid for itself in first hour

This knife is very sharp, but designed to safely strip cables. Like every Knipix product, it’s the best on the market.

I have used this several times and really like it. When trying to strip the protective coating off UF wire, it can be a pain. You can’t inadvertently nick the insulation on the wire or you run the risk of messing everything up. It seems stupid but after you have hundreds of feet of wire buried, thes ends become so much more critical - maybe it is just me but i feel like if i screw up i am going to have redo the wire in the trench...now i know in my logical mind this isn’t the case. Typically, i will use a razor or my everyday carry knife. While these both work the knifed tool excels thanks to the ergonomics of the handle, the compact blade in sort of a bird’s beak configuration, and of course the sharpness of the blade. I feel like i have a lot of control of the knife. So is this a must buy like a pair of wire strippers? Of course not, but if you install a good deal of direct burial wire and are frustrated with the time consuming process of stripping the coating it is worth a chance.

Works amazing no more cut fingers when stripping cable.

The knife did it's job well to the point it sliced a chunk of my hand because I was not careful where I was holding the cable. Total dummy mistake on my part but knife is sharp so it sliced my hand cleanly three stitches later. But as a tool it cleanly sliced open bundled cable it did get stuck but when it does, do not push harder let go of pressure and try to adjust the angle of the blade so it can slide easy again.

Me gusta la Herramienta es buen accesible y útil

Removing the sheathing from larger cables often results in damaging the jacket on the inner cables when using a knife. This tool lets you see what you are doing while you strip the sheathing off and works on medium Tom large size multi conductor cables.
