KNIPEX 16-30-135 Dismantling Tool – Cable Sheath Removal 6–29 mm (Blister Pack)

Effortless Cable Sheath Dismantling in the Field

The KNIPEX 16 30 135 dismantling tool is built to help technicians cleanly separate round cable sheaths during service, repair, and assembly tasks. With a compact profile and precise feedback, it fits easily in the toolkit and adapts to tight work environments.

What it handles

• For dismantling round cable sheaths made of PVC, rubber, silicone or PTFE from Ø 6.0 - 29.0 mm
• With knurled nut for cutting depth adjustment
• Changing from circular to longitudinal cutting by turning the tool body

How it works

The knurled depth nut lets you set the cut depth with tactile control, so you can approach each sheath with confidence. Rotating the tool body switches between a circular cut and a longitudinal cut, expanding your options when access is limited or when a longer slice is ideal.

Practical advantages in daily work

In practice, this tool supports precise removal of sheath material across common engineering plastics. The 6.0–29.0 mm range covers many standard cable sizes, while the dual-cutting modes reduce the need for multiple tools and speed up routine disassembly.

• Material compatibility includes PVC, rubber, silicone and PTFE
• Depth adjustment enables repeatable, controlled cuts
• Two cutting modes reduce tool swaps and save time
• Blister packaging keeps the tool ready for field use

Best practices for use

• Inspect the sheath to estimate thickness before cutting
• Set depth to remove only the sheath material, not exposed layers
• Switch to longitudinal mode for longer runs to minimize passes

Note: The information describes a mechanical tool for non-medical tasks. Real-world results depend on materials, conditions and technique.

Why it stands out

Designed for durability, the tool combines a knurled depth adjustment with a simple rotation action, letting you tailor cuts without switching tools. The blister packaging makes it convenient to stock and transport, reducing rummaging in a busy workshop or vehicle.

• Reliable steel construction for repeated use
• Intuitive control that supports careful sheath removal
• Blister packaging aids quick inventory and checkout

With the KNIPEX 16 30 135, you gain a practical option for cable maintenance that respects both the sheath and the inner components, offering possibilities rather than promises. It is a tool that supports accuracy and efficiency in everyday tasks.
