Knipex Preci Strip 16 Automatic Wire Strippers! The Best Stripper Around?

[@craigf3277]

The dial is for tension on the front, right? Not depth, although that could affect deptch. I'd like to know for sure.

[@markm0000]

It’s adjustment is between a loose grip to a light tug. It never bites hard enough to cut a strand. You can open it up and slightly extend the spring if you want it to cut hard.

[@TripPiper]

I bought a pair of these and they are horrible. For $134 and they won’t cut no matter how much I adjust them. I bought the weicon number 5 and they cut every time without all the adjusting and they were only $26

[@skabbymuff111]

Despite the price, these are the nuts. When I first bought mine I felt the build quality was a little 'light', and that they would not last very long. Had them a year and a half with pretty much daily use and a few drops and still working fine. The only thing I will say is that certain cable manufacturers use a more rubbery/stretchy/soft type of insulation, and in these cases may need to adjust the tool fine tune or twist and pull a second time. You learn to use the tool with this type of cable and is still very effective, but this tool definitely works better on a more brittle/solid type of insulation. Apart from that, a really great tool I use all the time.

After spending over $500 in just two months on replacement Knipex pliers. I definitely want a pair of these but I unfortunately have to go and do other things with a little money I have like replace my bathtub shower walls dial the bathroom floor replace the toilet and tile underneath the vanity and replace that. Basically the whole bathroom remodel before I can buy anymore Knipex or other German tools that seemed too easily rival anything made in America. And a lot of the stuff made in Japan which are the three best tool makers that I know of.

Kuh-Nip-X needs to make these so they'll strip without having to grip the wire firmly with my other hand. I do like the depth control knob though.

[@waytospergtherebro]

They clearly state it's not for THHN. If you buy wire at Home Depot then they're going to make a mess.

[@CreachterZ]

I love buying expensive tools because I know they will last. This is just too expensive for what it does for me. Maybe if my life’s work involved stripping wires all day for 10+ years.

[@kevinfeliciano457]

It’s not meant to strip THHN wire because of the extra coating it’s got.

[@2point..0]

Some ones up early Kuh Nip X Liked#7 and subbed too!!! Wire stripper seems nice!!!

[@GedeonDillon]

Another quality review. Thank you sir

[@ParklanCustom]

Thank you for the support!

[@Maik-gh2kj]

So ein sinnloses Review... man benutzt doch solche Absiloierzangen nicht für ganze Kabel, sondern nur für einzeladern. Sonst würde doch auch die Abisolierlänge niemals ausreichen bei jeder Anwendung. Wenn schon Zangen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, dann wenigstens an Leute die Ahnung vom Handwerk haben.

[@Drillmechanic]

Alles ist richtig! Bei mehradrigen Rundkabeln kommt ein völlig anderes Werkzeug zum Einsatz.

[@renesalinas9491]

you can strip several wires in one

[@beatrizhernandez2105]

Exelentes las mejores

[@ParklanCustom]

!Acordada!

[@plsreleasethekraken]

I've heard they don't do THHN. Is that true?

[@ParklanCustom]

Im pretty sure romex uses THHN, Im not an electrician, but it seemed to strip it no problem.

[@plsreleasethekraken]

@@ParklanCustom yep, the inner wires of romex is thhn. thanks

[@russellpottenger8584]

I was on the fence about ordering this tool because it had more negative reviews that which is normal for knipex. After watching your review and demonstration of the use I can see where if somebody doesn’t know how to properly use the tool You could certainly get a unjustified negative review. You did an awesome job of demonstrating the tool and because of that I’ll be ordering one first thing in the morning

[@ParklanCustom]

I am happy it helped. I agree; it took me a second or two to realize I was letting the wires slide through my fingers which was causing that partial stripping. I totally agree with your assessment. It is a great tool!

[@AK-IT]

Quick tool

[@ParklanCustom]

She’s certainly is

[@stevenburris8854]

Getting the tool free is the attached string

[@ParklanCustom]

Yeah I got the tool free, but there is no stipulation. Just because you get the tool free, doesn’t mean you have to give it a good review. That’s why I also mention the negatives of the tool, with this one in particular is the price.

[@Angelo0chek]

Knipex KN-1264180 better.

[@ParklanCustom]

Thanks for the info!

[@Drillmechanic]

Knipex KN-1264180 is not better especially for round cable.

[@michaelagnew7825]

the K is silent

[@deanchamberlain1910]

Ker…nipex?…..it’s nipex silent k

[@ParklanCustom]

No, that’s huge misconception, K is not silent

[@diemman70]

Germans don’t do silent consonants like the French do.😂

[@sassylrhg]

The K is silent in Knipex...bet the company would like it pronounced correctly. It's an awsome tool, regardless.

[@ParklanCustom]

The K is not silent, the company sent me a shirt when they sent these tools on how to correctly pronounce it. Go check out that video(title: Amazing news about Knipex tools). Or just KZbin how to pronounce Knipex correctly, they even made a video about it. Thanks for stopping by!

[@jumper233]

Nope. The “k” is the first thing pronounced.

[@aronhighgrove4100]

The company is German, so the k is pronounced.

[@Drillmechanic]

@@ParklanCustom ​ In German pronouncing K is not silent before N!

[@mightymeat]

That looks like a tool that is a must for every toolbox! I need to get me one.
