Knipex 16 45 220 STX 60 Cable Stripping Tool

The Knipex STX60 is a stripping tool designed for quick, clean removal of cable sheaths from Ø30 to 60mm, cutting through PVC, rubber, or PUR sheathing using both circumferential and longitudinal cuts. Available at Walshplant.ie, it's built for electricians and technicians working on heavy-duty cabling in industrial, PV, wind power, shipbuilding, and mobile power supply applications where speed and precision matter.

Single-handed quick adjustment lets the cutting blade slide to any cable diameter within its range with a single press of the thumb, while the precision blade offers adjustable cutting depth up to 6.5mm for accurate results, even on tough insulation such as rubber hose cables (H07RN-F). The blade retracts fully for safe storage and transport, and two spare blades are stored in the handle so replacements are always on hand.
