Wire strippers

<< < (6/12) > >>

nanofrog:
I looked at the Knipex pictured, as well as the Weidmuller Stripaxe, Embla, and a few others.

Ended up with the Pressmaster Embla out of sheer dumb luck as I got it for free  :o (perk due to hassle dealing with defective crimpers and die sets <phone calls, emails, and sent them a large bag full of test crimps>). As it turns out, it's cheaper here in the US at least than the others listed as a rebranded Waytek (555 stripper), and the additional blade cartridges make it more flexible for wire insulation types and sizes FWIW.

Pressmaster seems to be more commonly available under their own name in other parts of the world, Europe in particular, but I'm not sure how it compares price wise.  :-//

Can someone show how these strippers work on a thin cable? What's the smallest strip you can do? Also can someone make a close up of the blades. They look like flat blades - no curve to allow the wire to pass through it. If so many people say they work well - I believe you. I'm just curious how they work.

Which strippers? The knipex:


I strip easily awg 30 with this, kynar type wires, no problem, clean cut of the isolation, no mark on the wire itself

But remember there are other knipex strippers that looks like this one, but different range, its the 12-42-195 that I found was the best suited.

I have following ones for almost three years

They are capable to strip AWG28 PTFE wire without any issue.

Here are closeups (as good as i can get it) from the new model of the Weidmüller Stripax. Its a type of lamellar arrangement. Many thin sheets form the whole blade.
