Cable knives are specialised hand tools designed to cut and strip the outer insulation, sheaths, and jackets from a range of electrical cables and wires. These knives create safe and secure electrical connections without damaging the cable's internal conductors. A cable knife comes with sharp, durable blades of varied lengths and ergonomic handles made of various materials. VDE-approved cable knives are essential tools for electricians or technicians who work with electrical wiring, ensuring robust safety against electric shocks.
Why Buy Cable Knives?
Investing in quality cable knives offers unparalleled benefits. These knives ensure efficient cable preparation, reduce the risk of damaging the cable core, and enhance user safety compared to using general-purpose cutting tools. A cable knife is a smart investment in terms of improved safety, sharp blades, and clean cuts. Additionally, these cable stripping tools come in various shapes, configurations, and versions to suit different cable types and applications.
