KNIPEX EvoStrip – Front Cable Stripping Pliers with Automatic Adjustment

KNIPEX EvoStrip – Front Cable Stripping Pliers with Automatic Adjustment

The KNIPEX EvoStrip pliers (product code KNI_12 40 200) offer an advanced solution for the automatic stripping of electrical cables, specifically designed to meet the needs of electricians and professional installers operating in civil, industrial, and technical environments. This tool combines precision, ergonomic comfort, and maximum operational safety in a compact and functional design.

Wide Range of Applications

The EvoStrip is capable of stripping conductors with cross-sections ranging from 0.03 to 10.0 mm² (AWG 32 – 8), automatically adapting to the size of the conductor without requiring manual adjustments. This allows for fast, reliable work on single-core, multi-core, or fine-stranded wires with synthetic or rubber insulation.

It is also suitable for flat cables up to 10 mm wide, handled in a single operation, and for strip lengths between 5 and 22 mm, or up to 25 mm without a length stop.

Automatic Adjustment System for Damage-Free Stripping

At the core of the EvoStrip's technology is its automatic adjustment mechanism, which enables the insulation to be removed without damaging the inner conductors. The mechanism adapts to both the section and the material hardness of the insulation, making EvoStrip suitable for demanding materials and challenging environmental conditions.

For operations requiring extra precision, the tool features a fine adjustment dial, allowing users to set the cutting depth in micrometric increments, further optimizing performance on demanding insulation materials.

Integrated Cutting with Rack-and-Pinion Shears: Visual Control and Precision

The tool includes a rack-and-pinion cutting blade at the top, designed for precise cutting of copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors up to 10 mm², with rigid conductors up to 6 mm². Its optimized cutting geometry ensures clean and accurate cuts.

The elevated position of the cutting blade and the clearly marked scale provide excellent visual control of the cutting point, increasing accuracy. In addition, the raised non-slip collar in front of the blade ensures a firm grip on the tool, even when wearing gloves or in unstable conditions.

High-Performance Materials and Build Quality

The EvoStrip is equipped with high-quality stripping blades made of glass fiber-reinforced synthetic resin, offering exceptional wear resistance. These blades ensure long-lasting performance through thousands of stripping cycles and can be replaced quickly and cost-effectively when worn.

Its smooth mechanical operation ensures low vibration and high quietness, improving user comfort during prolonged use.

Ergonomics and Operator Safety

The tool features a bi-component handle, designed for a secure and comfortable grip. The arm design prevents accidental finger pinching, improving safety even in demanding tasks.

For overhead work or environments where tool drop protection is required, EvoStrip includes an integrated tether attachment point. This ring is ANSI-compliant and compatible with the KNIPEX Tethered Tools system.
