KNIPEX Tools 12 52 195 PreciStrip16 Insulation Stripper – Precision Stripping for Fine Wires & Cables (28–6 AWG, THHN Not Stripped)

Overview

The KNIPEX PreciStrip16 insulation stripper is built for precise stripping and cutting of fine wires and solid round cables, covering a broad capacity from 28 AWG up to 6 AWG. It will not strip THHN, helping you avoid unwanted material removal during work. This tool blends accuracy with a streamlined workflow, making it a practical choice for both skilled technicians and DIY enthusiasts.

Designed with the user in mind, the parabolic blades separate insulation and automatically pull it back, keeping your fingers safely away from the cut. A fine-adjustment dial lets you set blade depth to match insulation thickness, delivering consistent results across different wire types.
