The Knipex Fully Insulated Cable Dismantling Knife (36296) is a high-performance tool engineered for professional electricians and trade workers who require safety and precision when working on live electrical systems. It delivers an exceptional advantage by providing certified protection up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC, ensuring reliability during demanding cable stripping tasks.
