kabelkapper

The kabelkapper (also known as cable stripper or cable cutter) is a simple tool used to remove the insulation from electrical wires, allowing for the exposure of the conductor inside. Its primary function is to strip part of the wire's insulation, making it easier to access the inner wire that needs to be connected to other devices.

The kabelkapper typically consists of a handheld tool with a sharp cutting blade or a rotating wheel with sharp edges. The user places the wire in the tool, and the cutting blade or wheel glides along the wire to remove the insulation. The amount of insulation removed depends on the type of wire and the specific application.

There are various types of kabelkappers available, ranging from manual to automatic devices. Manual kabelkappers are simple, inexpensive tools that can be used to strip insulation from smaller wires, while automatic kabelkappers are used for larger wires and are often more expensive. Some kabelkappers are designed to strip multiple wires at once, making the process faster and more efficient.

The kabelkapper is a common tool in many electrical and electronic applications, including wiring, circuit repair, and wire testing. Its use allows for easier access to the inner wire, making it a necessary tool for electricians, electronics technicians, and DIY enthusiasts. With proper use, the kabelkapper can help prevent accidental wire cuts and make the wiring process more efficient.
