Description

The KNIPEX 1000V Cable Knife (98 52) is a VDE-insulated cable knife for stripping and preparing cables in live electrical environments. The blade is fully insulated to 1000V AC in accordance with DIN EN IEC 60900, providing the required safety margin for cable stripping operations in energised systems where working dead is not possible.
The precision blade is engineered for slitting cable sheaths along the conductor run for longitudinal opening of multi-core cables — the first step in preparing cables for termination at distribution boards and junction boxes. The blade geometry provides controlled cutting depth to prevent nicking of inner conductor insulation.
A VDE-rated cable knife is an essential live-working tool for any electrician who performs cable preparation in energised environments. The KNIPEX 98 52 provides the quality and reliability expected of the KNIPEX brand in a compact, pocket-size format appropriate for everyday carry as part of a live-working toolkit.
