KNIPEX revamps its ComStrip tool for quicker, cleaner cable prep

With a built-in length stop, integrated cable cutter and adjustable cutting depth, the ComStrip is designed to easily and precisely handle a wide range of cable types. Whether you're on first fix or repair jobs, it’s a compact, tough and user-friendly addition to the toolkit, particularly useful in tight corners, consumer units or crowded enclosures.

The adjustable length stop (6 to 18mm) ensures repeatable, tidy results, especially useful when prepping multiple cores in one go and a fine-tune slider lets you control the stripping depth precisely, handy when dealing with non-standard insulation or temperature-sensitive cable sheaths. It’s this level of control that helps prevent damage to inner conductors, even on finer strands.

The built-in cutter has also been beefed up: it now handles solid conductors up to 2.5mm² and stranded cables up to 6mm², making the tool more versatile for day-to-day work across domestic and light commercial installs.

The ComStrip is also built with comfort in mind. Its two-component handles feature a soft grip zone to reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions and the low weight of the tool makes it easier to manoeuvre. The fibreglass-reinforced plastic body gives it durability without adding bulk and the slim head profile is ideal for tight spaces. When it comes to upkeep, the long-lasting blades are simple to replace when needed.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been on the tools for years, the ComStrip makes cable prep quicker and more consistent. With no need to manually adjust for different cable sizes, it’s a real time-saving tool that combines high precision with minimal effort.
