Knipex 14 26 VDE Wire Stripping and Cutting Pliers

The Knipex 14 26 VDE Wire Stripping and Cutting Pliers are professional-grade diagonal insulation strippers designed for precision electrical work. Built with VDE-tested insulation for safe working on live circuits, these pliers combine wire stripping, cutting and gripping functions in one versatile tool ideal for electricians and electrical contractors. The high leverage joint design delivers exceptional cutting capacity, allowing you to cut through NYM cables up to 5 x 2.5 mm² with ease. Induction-hardened precision blades with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 60 HRC ensure long-lasting sharpness and reliable performance. The extended tips provide ultra-fine cutting capability, making these pliers particularly useful for detailed work in confined spaces such as consumer units and junction boxes. Precision stripping holes are specifically designed for single conductors of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm², enabling clean, consistent cable preparation without damaging the conductor. This makes them ideal for terminating cables in sockets, switches and other electrical accessories. The diagonal cutting design combined with the stripping function streamlines common electrical tasks, reducing tool changes during installations.
