But I only use it for the difficult insulations because it is not as handy and quick as the KNIPEX 1242195 |

My first wire strippers were my thumbnails. I was blessed to have thick strong nails, and I never struggled with just grabbing wire and ripping it right off. One time when I was younger, I carved a V shape into my thumbnail and made them work even better lol. But now I use either http://www.rsrelectronics.com/tools/100X_103S.jpg (100x) and http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item_Lg.asp?picFile=/images/PWCS7.jpg (my favorite) |

Hi guys, First time for me here :-+ It seems it's difficult to tell if Weidmuller is reranding Embla or the other way around... :confused: Also, it seems the front jaws of the Knipex 12 42 195 are made of metal ? Would that be any better than the plasticky ones ? http://www.weidmueller.com/int/products/tools/stripping/product-overview Pressmaster by Embla http://www.pressmaster.se/products/#strip_and_cut and Klauke... http://www.klauke.com/katalog/en/k-43-2-automatic-stripping-tool-0-02-10mm/ All these three VERY similar strippers. Does anyone know if one of them (I'm assuming the original designer / manufacturer) would be better ? So far, I have the Weicon S4-28 Multi http://www.weicon.com/pages/ca/products/stripping-tools/cable-stripper/cable-stripper-multi.php and http://www.weicon.com/pages/en/download/technical-datasheet/TDS_50057328_EN_EN-Cable-Stripper-No.-S-4---28-Multi.pdf which works fine but I find the cable rotative stripper to regularly cut straight (so you end up cutting a spiral... |O ) Many thanks. Cheers guys. |

Al those automatic strippers that come along here are based on the original AMP automatic stripper. At first sight those days, such a plastic thing can't be good. But... it is now in my toolbox for over 35 years and still stripping fine anything between 0.1mm2 and 2.5mm2. Only not pure PTFE (it flows too much). The Patent is over now and the design is widely copied by most major brands. My personal experience with the Knipex one is it stopped working after 5 years of use. Have no experience with the other brands. |

For example, the Embla is rebranded as the Klauke you linked, as well as Xcelite and Wiha for example. In the case of Weidmuller, they rebrand their strippers for Paladin, and it seems Knipex as well (hint: metal jaws). --- Quote from: hemdale on January 29, 2016, 05:18:14 pm ---Also, it seems the front jaws of the Knipex 12 42 195 are made of metal ? Would that be any better than the plasticky ones ? --- End quote --- You'd think so, but as previously mentioned, they last a long time. I've a pair of automatic Jokari strippers that are from the '80's that are still going strong (AFAIK, Jokari actually invented the first automatic stripper). FWIW, you can even replace the plastic jaws on the Embla, and I'd imagine the Weidmuller's too (assuming you can find the parts). If you do decide to go for metal jaws, Weidmuller is the only company that makes them AFAIK (appear to rebrand several models for Knipex; Jokari too). |
