The Knipex 16 20 16 SB is a professional-grade dismantling tool engineered for electricians and technicians who require precise, damage-free stripping of round cables ranging from 4mm to 16mm. Its primary benefit lies in its versatile design, which allows for both circular and longitudinal cuts with an adjustable depth setting; however, users should note that its plastic housing, while impact-proof, is specialized for round cables and may not be suitable for stripping flat or non-standard cable geometries.

No, the Knipex 16 20 16 SB is specifically engineered for round cables.
The tool is designed for cables with a minimum diameter of 4mm.
The spare blade is conveniently stored inside the handle of the tool for easy access.
The handle is made of plastic; however, this tool is not rated as VDE or insulated for high-voltage live work. Always de-energize circuits before working.
It is optimized for round sheathed cables; using it on very thin single-core wires may result in less precision.
The tool weighs approximately 95 grams, making it very portable.
Adjust the depth screw to increase the cutting blade depth or check if the blade has become dull and requires replacement.
Ensure the self-tightening holding lever is fully engaged and that you are using the correct diameter range (4mm-16mm).
Reduce the cutting depth using the adjusting screw until the blade only penetrates the outer sheath.
To begin using the tool, ensure the adjusting screw is set to match the insulation thickness of your specific cable. Testing on a scrap piece of wire is recommended before working on live-adjacent installations. The tool is compatible with round cables between 4mm and 16mm in diameter. For maintenance, keep the blades free of debris and plastic buildup. If the cutting performance diminishes, use the spare blade provided inside the handle. Always store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the longevity of the pivot points and the handle material.
