Knipex Cable Stripper 4-16mm
The Knipex 16 20 16 SB is a manual hand tool designed for stripping common round cables. It suits electricians, technicians and DIY users who need a reliable, lightweight stripper for everyday wiring tasks. The plastic housing and coated handle provide a secure grip and durable construction for controlled operation.
Stripping capacity 4 to 16mm
This stripper handles cable diameters from 4mm up to 16mm, covering a wide range of standard round cables. The manual adjustment feature lets you set the blade width without changing blades, so you can switch between different cable sizes quickly. It runs out of range on cables thinner than 4mm or thicker than 16mm, which require a different tool.
Manual operation thermals and effort
As a purely manual tool, it produces no heat, noise or electrical power draw during use. The plastic-coated handle reduces hand fatigue and ensures a firm grip for consistent stripping force. Effort depends on the cable insulation toughness and the selected blade setting rather than any motorised assistance.

Questions about this item
Will the Knipex 16 20 16 SB cable stripper damage the insulation on older, brittle PVC cables in the 4-16mm range?
The adjustable blade width lets you set the cutting depth precisely for each cable diameter, reducing the risk of nicking aged insulation.
How can I verify the Knipex 16 20 16 SB is stripping cleanly after I set the blade spacing?
Make a test cut on a scrap piece; a clean result shows a neat ring cut through the sheath with the conductor strands untouched.
Does the Knipex 16 20 16 SB come with spare blades or a hex key for adjustment?
The tool is supplied complete with its built-in manual adjustment mechanism; no separate blades or keys are included.
