When choosing a Wire Stripping Tool, you should consider the following factors:
Typical applications in home electrical installations include connecting sockets, switches, or distribution boards. This primarily involves the use of standard installation cables such as NYM cables, single-core wires, or increasingly, robust specialty cables. A key challenge is the confined working environment: Stripping cables in cavity walls or junction boxes often requires patience.
The following tools have proven particularly useful for these applications:
| Product | Application area: | Product info: |
| Cable Stripper SECURA No. 15 (Art. no. 30155) | Standard NYM cables with a ø of 8 - 13 mm | - Thanks to its clean circular cut, the cable sheath can be removed quickly and safely without damaging the inner conductors - It also features precision stripping blades for cleanly removing the individual inner conductors from 0.2 - 4.0 mm² - Even demanding PUR-insulated cables, such as H07BQ-F or H07RN-F rubber-sheathed cables, can be easily processed |
| Cable Stripper JOKARI XL (Art. no. 30125) | Standard round cables with a diameter of 8 - 13 mm | Its long design facilitates work in confined spaces, such as electrical boxes. |
| Wire Stripper Super 4 Pro (Art. no. 20200) | Single wires from 0.2 to 6.0 mm² | The automatic Wire Stripper adjusts itself to the cross-section and ensures precise, fast, and effortless work. This allows the individual wires inside an NYM cable to be stripped in a flash. |
| Cable Knife System 4-70 (Art. no. 70000) | The safety Cable Knife for all common round wires and cables from 8 to 35 mm in diameter. | - The safety mechanism for the hook blade with locking switch prevents cuts - The intelligent interchangeable blade system allows for quick replacement of blades for different diameters (expandable to 4 to 70 mm in diameter using the 4 - 70 mm Cable Knife System SET, Art. no. 71000). |

With increasing digitalization, the demands on the processing of data and communication lines are also rising. Especially with data lines: Even the smallest damage can drastically impair signal quality. Therefore, the right specialized tool is crucial. Precision and efficient, material-friendly work play a decisive role here.
Specialized tools are indispensable for these applications:
| Produkt | Anwendungsbereich | Produktinfos |
| Cable Stripper No. 1 Cat (Art. no. 30500) | Designed for the precise stripping of PVC-insulated CAT and network cables with a diameter of 4.5 - 10 mm | - Suitable for example for Cat5, Cat6, Cat6e, Cat7, or twisted-pair cables - The defined cutting edge prevents damage to the inner wire pairs |
| Cable Stripper SECURA Coaxi No. 1 (Art. no. 30600) | For coaxial cables in satellite, TV and network technology with a diameter of 4.8 - 7.5 mm | Removes outer sheath and dielectric in a controlled manner and in defined steps |
In industrial applications such as automation technology, control cabinet construction, or robotics, precision and repeatability are paramount. These applications often involve the use of fine conductors, sensor cables, or control lines.
The following tools have proven their worth under the high demands:
| Product | Application area: | Product infos: |
| Wire Stripper Sensor Special (Art. no. 20300) | Specifically designed for sensor and control cables with a diameter of 4.40 - 7 mm | - Ensures uniform, damage-free stripping. The automatic scanning system adjusts to different cable diameters - Suitable for many cable types: PUR halogen-free sensor/actuator cables, highly flexible TPE-U cables, control cables (e.g. Ölflex®), PUR/PVC cables, shielded and unshielded cables, telephone installation |
| Multifunctionaltool QUADRO Plus (Art. no. 62000) | Universal solution for PVC-insulated flexible conductors and stranded wires with a working range of 0.5 - 2.5 mm² | - Combines the four work steps cutting, stripping, twisting, and crimping in one tool - Perfect for control cabinet or control system construction |
| Wire Stripper SECURA 2K (Art. no. 20100) | Precise stripping of single wires from 0.2 to 6.0 mm² | The integrated cutting depth adjustment allows for fine-tuning with insulation materials of varying hardness or softness |
| Wire Stripper No. 6–16 mm² (Art. no. 20030) | For solid and flexible conductors with PVC outer insulation of 6 - 16 mm² | - Ergonomic design: Gentle and comfortable use - Flexible stripping length: Stripping of any length thanks to cable feedthrough in the handle - Automatic adjustment: No adjustment to the cable cross-section necessary |
Whether for home installations, industrial applications, or network technology: Choosing the right Wire Stripping Tool directly impacts quality, safety, and efficiency.
Key takeaways:
Those who understand their application and use suitable, high-quality tools not only work faster, but also much more safely and reliably.
The right choice of a Wire Stripping Tool therefore pays off in the long run!
