WEICON TOOLS Cable Stripper No. 4-16, stripping tool for cables from 4 - 16 mm, made in Germany

Impressive tool ,seen many times but never bought until now, it certainly makes an easy job of safely stripping cable especially handy when you’ve got a long length to pare back .I would recommend ,automatically adjusts to different diameter cableDown side takes a little set up when changing to thicker/thiner cable sheath but then repeatable.Doesn’t cut rubbery sheath as easily as pvc but you’d expect that

Excellent,does the job

This is a handy tool for stripping outer cable instead of using a Stanley knife.Can a bit fiddly getting to blade to go the way you want

Very easy to use, don’t know how I managed before.

Another tool in my bag that I'm not going to use very often.Bought it to strip NYY cable (hi tuff) and does the job when set up right. Still dubious about it slicing the insulation though.

Brilliant stripping tool

It’s a great idea and good for soft flex, especially if you are doing a lot of the same flex. But needs adjusting to suit each cable size. Best for soft flex - not good for anything tough like SWA outer sheath. My blade snapped after a few uses - you need to make sure blade is set the right way before the cut otherwise it tries to turn 180 degrees and that’s how it snaps. However they do sell spare blades - turn end cap 1/4 turn and remove - split case and lift out to replace. Blades are about £3.50 but 10-14 day delivery to UK.

I love this tool. Easy to use and good value for money.

Heel moeilijk in te regelen, eenmaal juist, gaat het bij de minste tegendruk weer dwars staan. Echt weggegooid geld, begrijp niet dat dit zo hoog scoort...

Muy buen producto, solo ocupo Saber si venden los repuestos..

Use it for work. Works great. Strip a lot of sensor wires. Very easy with this. Also striped soj easily and Teck.

A useful tool (relative to its price) for 4-gauge and 2-gauge battery cables. Note that the blade is *free-spinning*. It appears to spin as you adjust it up and down, but that is just friction - you can orient the blade with the tip of the wire you are about to trim. Which brings me to a trick to using it - it's best to aim the triangular cross section of the blade at the open end of the spring-loaded clamp, because in heavy insulation it doesn't self-align itself easily. Then, spin the handle such that the open end of the clamp is *trailing* the rotation. Spin the handle 5-10 rotations to make a clean cut through thick insulation, which can take noticeable force. If you align the blade correctly the blade's sharp cutting edge will slice nicely through the insulation (you can look through the gap at the open end of the clamp to see the cut), otherwise it will 'balk' at cutting. I did not find that pulling it off the end of the cut insulation worked well to slice it open, and I think it might be hard on the blade as it needs to turn 90° to do so. Instead, I just opened the clamp and removed the tool, then used the 'teeth' of a common multi-hole stripper to bite into the cut piece and wiggle it slowly off the cable. Once the cut piece is 1/4" removed, reposition the multi-hole stripper to the very end of the insulation to be removed and pull - it will come off easily. I've trimmed about 50 short pieces of insulation off of battery cables for a solar battery and it saves a lot of time and does a neat job. Getting a perfect depth adjustment on the blade is trial and error, so if you have a couple of different insulation-thickness cable types, consider buying two of these tools and label which cable they are set to trim. The Weicon stripper isn't a perfect tool but for the price it does what it need to do. I'm not sure how long the cutting blade will last and I don't believe it is replaceable. There are no instructions in the box and no warranty is mentioned on the box.

puede ser un buen producto para uso domestico, pero en obra no duró nada.
