Some tools become favourites because they solve a common job faster and with less fuss. The KNIPEX 14 26 160 VDE Diagonal Insulation Stripper 160mm is exactly that kind of tool. Designed for electricians who regularly need to cut and strip conductors in one smooth workflow, it combines the familiar control of diagonal cutters with the added practicality of precision stripping holes. Instead of reaching for separate tools for every small step, you can move from cutting to stripping with a single compact plier built for everyday installation work.
What makes this model especially useful is the balance between compactness and performance. At 160 mm long, it stays easy to carry and comfortable to use in panels, junction boxes, and other restricted work areas. The long cutter and long tips help with ultra-fine cutting work where access is limited, while the high transmission ratio improves cutting efficiency so less effort is wasted through the hand. On site, that translates into cleaner handling and a tool that feels responsive rather than bulky.
The stripping function is tailored to common installation needs. KNIPEX specifies precision stripping holes for single conductors of 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm², giving the user a fast and reliable way to prepare standard wire sizes without guesswork. The tool is also designed for the convenient cutting of NYM cables up to 5 x 2.5 mm², which adds practical versatility for electricians working with common fixed wiring applications. This makes it particularly useful when the job calls for repeated cable preparation and accurate finishing in a compact, dependable format.
Durability is just as important as function, and KNIPEX builds this model for professional use. The blades are induction-hardened with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 60 HRC, helping them maintain performance over repeated use. The pliers and head are chrome-plated for corrosion resistance, while the insulated multi-component grips are VDE-tested and conform to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 standards. With a weight of 238 g and dimensions of 160 x 60 x 30 mm, the tool stays light enough for daily carry while still feeling solid in the hand. For electricians who want a compact, precise, and trade-ready stripper-cutter combination, the KNIPEX 14 26 160 is a very strong choice.
