Kabelverktøy

When working with cables, selection starts with the task: cutting, stripping insulation or pulling along a route. The category brings together these different tools and accessories, so you can plan the purchases you need for your work.

Choose the right group

The Cable knives and shears section is the starting point when looking for a cutting tool. Distinguish between cutting the cable itself and working on its sheath. For the model you choose, check the stated materials and working dimensions; the general term “cable” does not specify which conductors it can cut.

When preparing a cable end for connection, see insulation stripping tools. The comparison there depends on the outer sheath or individual conductor, cable construction and stated range. Combination tools should be assessed for each stated task, not just by the number of functions.

The Cable pulling rods section is the dedicated selection of tools and accessories for routing along a cable path. For this task, rod length, connection type and bending limitations are separate considerations from cutting capacity or stripping range.

Compare like with like

Note the exact cable type and the planned task before comparing dimensions. Descriptions may include the tool’s overall length, cable diameter and conductor cross-section. These are not interchangeable. Check what each value means for the specific item rather than choosing based on the largest number in the product name.

The group also includes spare jaws, blades and other accessories. Check whether you are ordering a complete tool or a part for an existing model. A spare part requires the exact compatible reference; the brand and a similar shape do not determine compatibility.

Add to your equipment based on actual needs

If you already have a basic tool, first check which task is still not covered. This helps you distinguish a necessary purchase from a repeat of a function you already have. When comparing brands, the offerings from KNIPEX and ARNOCANALI should be considered in light of their specific purpose.

For gripping and other tasks outside this group, see pliers. The general tools and measurement section is useful when putting together a broader selection for the workplace.
