  • Strips solid and stranded wire from 8 to 22 AWG
  • Adjustable cutting depth via hex key for precise control
  • Handles RG-59 coax cable for versatile use
  • Ergonomic standard handle reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks
  • Durable plastic body with manual adjustment for reliability

Knipex 16 60 05 SB cable stripper

The Knipex 16 60 05 SB strips solid and stranded wire from 8 AWG down to 22 AWG. It also handles coaxial cable designated RG-59. The tool is built for electricians and technicians who need repeatable stripping without damaging conductors.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a manual hand tool it produces no heat, noise or electrical draw during use. Cutting depth is set with a hex key so each strip stays consistent. The plastic body keeps the grip light and non-conductive.

Adjustable cutting depth and coax capability

The hex-key adjustment lets you match the blade to the insulation thickness on wire from 8 to 22 AWG. This same mechanism works on RG-59 coax, removing the outer jacket and dielectric in one step. No extra accessories or software are included.

Questions about this item

How do I set the stripping depth on the Knipex 16 60 05 SB, and what step do people skip?

Use a hex key to adjust the cutting depth before stripping; the step people skip is testing on a scrap piece of 14 AWG or 16 AWG wire first to confirm the setting.

Which part of the Knipex 16 60 05 SB wears out first and will need replacement?

The adjustable cutting blades dull after repeated use on 8 AWG to 22 AWG solid and stranded wire; they are the only wear item on this tool.

What is the first limit I hit when stripping RG-59 coax continuously with the Knipex 16 60 05 SB?

The manual adjustment mechanism slows you down on long runs because each cable size change requires re-setting the hex-key depth stop.
