Electricians normally use several tools for different types of cable — round, coaxial and data cable — since the requirements of wire stripping differ too much to contain them in one tool. At least, that was the case until now. With the Knipex ErgoStrip, a number of tools can be left in the tool bag during installation work. This universal dismantling and wire stripping tool makes it possible to dismantle and strip all standard cables in modern house wiring with a few hand movements and without changing tools.
⚠️ This tool is not insulated for electrical work — do not use on live circuits.
The functional versatility of the tool lies in its design. A two-shell pistol handle integrates several functions, and the ErgoStrip sits well in the hand. The tool ends are tapered at the front, permitting space-saving dismantling work in flush-mounted sockets. Markings inside the tool allow accurately repeated stripping of single conductors and dismantling of coax cables. A simple twist movement, or a straightforward slit for longer dismantling distances, achieves the desired result.
Preparatory work before wiring a terminal box, distribution box, power or network socket can be carried out accurately and efficiently: slits on the cable to dismantle longer sections, dismantling deep in surface and flush-mounted sockets to leave the minimum sheathing required, stripping single conductors, and — increasingly important in modern house wiring — the dismantling and stripping of coaxial cables for satellite and cable networks, as well as data cables for home networks (LAN).
Replacing several dedicated stripping tools with one ergonomic pistol-grip design genuinely lightens what needs carrying on a job, and internal length markings mean repeated strips come out consistent rather than relying on guesswork each time. Tapered tool ends make a real difference in flush-mounted sockets where standard strippers simply can't reach.
