Knipex 15 11 120 Wire Stripping Tweezers hand tool

Precision Wire Stripping Tweezers

The Knipex 15 11 120 is a manual hand tool designed for electricians and technicians who need to strip insulation from individual conductors. Its compact 4 3/4 in. length allows controlled operation in tight enclosures or on dense terminal blocks. The steel body withstands daily workshop wear while the cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive stripping tasks. Adjustable jaws let the user set the tool for different insulation thicknesses without changing tools.

5/8 in. Stripping Capacity

The single specification that determines suitability is the maximum stripping capacity of 5/8 in., which defines the largest conductor insulation diameter the jaws can accommodate. If the wires in your application exceed this diameter, the tool cannot engage the insulation cleanly and a different stripper will be required. The adjustable jaw mechanism fine-tunes the cutting depth for smaller gauges down to the minimum the mechanism allows. No interchangeable blades or gauge selectors are included.

Low-Effort Manual Operation

Because the tool is entirely hand-powered, it generates no heat, draws no electricity and produces only the faint mechanical click of the jaws closing. The steel construction transmits force efficiently so minimal grip pressure is needed to sever insulation without nicking the conductor. The cushion grip absorbs the small reaction force, keeping vibration and noise negligible during extended use. There are no motors, batteries or pneumatic connections to maintain.
