Knipex 13728 8” (200mm) Forged Wire Strippers
The Strength of a Plier. The Precision of a Stripper.
The Knipex 13 72 8 Forged Wire Strippers are engineered to replace multiple tools in your pouch. Unlike standard stamped-metal strippers, these are drop-forged and oil-hardened, giving them the durability of a pair of linesman pliers with the surgical precision required for electrical work. The innovative shear-cutting geometry provides 50% higher cutting capacity and requires 25% less effort, allowing you to slice through copper and aluminum cables up to 1/2" with ease.
Equipped with locating ridges, these strippers allow you to find the correct stripping hole by feel, significantly speeding up work in low-light environments. The multi-functional head also features conduit reaming edges for deburring and wide gripping jaws for twisting wires or pulling cable
Upgrade your electrical toolkit with the Knipex 13728 Forged Wire Strippers—ultimate precision, durability, and efficiency for every wire handling task.
