Description

The KNIPEX Dismantling Cable Knife (98 55) is a specialist cable knife designed for the dismantling and removal of cables during rewiring, fault investigation, and infrastructure upgrade projects. The hooked, retractable blade design allows the outer sheath of cables to be cut longitudinally and removed cleanly without risk of cutting into adjacent cables or the conductors within the cable being stripped.
The retractable blade provides safety during carry and transport, and the depth-controlled cutting geometry prevents the blade from penetrating too deeply into the cable, protecting the insulation of inner conductors. The robust handle provides comfortable, controlled grip for sustained cutting operations.
For rewiring projects, cable removal, and any installation work that requires the systematic stripping of cable sheaths, the KNIPEX dismantling knife provides a safer, more controlled alternative to conventional free-blade cable knives, reducing the risk of conductor damage and insulation nicking that creates latent faults.
