06/08/2024 – Weicon Tools flat and round cable stripper
Cable stripper for all purposes
The tool manufacturer Weicon Tools has developed a universal cable stripper that can be used to work on both flat cables and round cables.
The tool can be used to strip all common flat and round cables quickly, precisely and safely. It was designed for flat cables up to a width of 18mm and for round cables with a diameter of 6mm to 13mm.
Owing to the guide at the head of the tool, longitudinal cuts are very easy to perform – especially for longer sections. The longitudinal cuts can be made on both flat and round cables. Below the cable guide is a rotatable inner blade. As with all Weicon Tools cable strippers, the blades can be used to make both circular and longitudinal cuts on round cables (from 6mm to 13mm) in a single step.
With a lockable adjusting screw, the depth of the blade can be comfortably and precisely set in steps of 0.1mm up to 3mm. This prevents damage to deeper layers. Two more blades have been added to the base of this handy tool. These are used for parallel cuts on the outer sheath or insulation. This means that the outer sheath can be easily removed even in very narrow spaces, such as in junction boxes or cable ducts.
The special design allows the stripping of longer sections at both the head and base of the tool. Flat cables up to a width of 18mm and round cables up to 13mm in diameter can easily be guided through the tool. An additional stripping function has been integrated in the lower side of the housing. This can be used to strip all common flexible and solid conductors with a cross-section between 0.5 and 6 square millimetres.
In the development of the tool, great attention was paid to a safe and ergonomic design and to user friendliness. The ergonomic, non-slip design of the handle and the grip zones ensure both safe handling and fatigue-free work even over longer periods of time. Since the blades are located inside the tool, the risk of injury is significantly reduced.
As is usual with Weicon Tools, the cable stripper was developed and manufactured entirely in Germany. The tools – made of robust glass fibre-reinforced polyamide – are produced in Ascheberg, Westphalia, and the steel for the electrogalvanised blades is from Solingen. The tool is 160mm long, weighs 125 grammes and is supplied in a recyclable cardboard packaging.
