Insulated VDE Stripping Pliers with all-round talent, specialising in dismantling and wire stripping The Knipex 1346165SB (carded) Stripping Pliers are ideal for dismantling in deep flush-mounted sockets. The slim head design and the ideally angled cable sheath cutter give the user freedom of movement. A twisting cutting action that is scarcely offset to the tool axis can be carried out without any particularly contorted movements, and then the cable sheath stripped after a short bending movement. The depth restriction of the circular cutting edge (safety shoulder) only allows the blade to permeate the sheath at a depth necessary for breaking and stripping the cable sheath. After dismantling, when the core insulation is protected behind the cable sheath cutter by the safety shoulder, the ends of the cable can be stripped with the pliers. Two accurately machined wire stripping holes for conductors with 1.5 and 2.5 mm² enable work to continue without a change of tools. Even the cutting of cable and single conductors before or after dismantling and stripping is possible using the Knipex 13 46 165 dismantling pliers: thanks to the integrated diagonal cutters. The multi-component grips are insulated and VDE tested. They have sharp diagonal cutters, that can powerfully cut single conductors, wire, small screws and nails, that are integrated in the dismantling pliers. All cutting edges are additionally hardened to approx. 61 HRC. This wide range of functions saves an added tool for many common work steps. Despite the fact that several tool functions are combined in these dismantling pliers, they weigh 30 % less than comparable, conventional dismantling pliers. The chrome-plating provides good corrosion resistance, for example if the dismantling pliers are kept permanently in the electrician\'s service vehicle where temperature changes can result in condensation on the tool. Features: Multifunctional - cutting and stripping with one pair of pliers For time-saving stripping of all round sheathed and damp-proof installation cables (e.g. NYM cable) Simplified access especially into deep mounted junction boxes thanks to slim head design and optimally angled cable sheath cutter Strip cables easily and without damage thanks to circular cutting edge with depth limiter Suitable for universal use: precision wire stripping holes for conductors from 1.5 and 2.5 mm² With side cutters for cutting and trimming conductors, wires, small screws and nails All cutters additionally induction-hardened to approx. 61 HRC for high wear resistance 30 % lighter than comparable pliers Vanadium electric steel, forged, multi stage oil-hardened Specification: Part number: 1346165SB Pliers: chrome plated Head: chrome plated Handles: insulated with multi-component grips, VDE-tested Dimensions: 165 x 57 x 27 mm Standard: DIN EN 60900 IEC 60900 Cutting capacities medium hard wire (diameter): Ø 3.2 Cutting capacities hard wire (diameter): Ø 2.2 Cable stripping values (diameter): 8 - 13 mm Stripping capacities in square millimetres: 0.75 - 1.5 mm² / 2.5 mm² VDE tested: yes   Weight: 0.190kg
