Solar installs demand speed, precision and tidy cable prep, and that’s exactly what the new KNIPEX ErgoStrip PV (16 95 03 SB) gives you.
As part of a growing focus on renewable energy tools, KNIPEX continues to expand its range to meet the needs of solar professionals. The ErgoStrip PV is the latest addition, designed to handle the specific challenges of photovoltaic installs.
Based on the KNIPEX ErgoStrip but engineered specifically for photovoltaic work, this compact cable stripping tool is a serious upgrade for anyone regularly dealing with solar wiring. It strips and skins cables cleanly, quickly and consistently even in awkward, confined spaces – just the sort of conditions installers face daily.
It is ideal for 4mm² and 6mm² PV cables like H1Z2Z2-K and all common round and damp-proof installation cables, including NYM types from 3 x 1.5 mm² to 5 x 2.5 mm². The slim, conical tips make access behind panels or within mounting systems much easier.
The ErgoStrip PV is ideal for repetitive jobs. Its adjustable length stop (from 6mm to 18mm) reliably strips cables to the exact length needed for MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 connectors – no measuring, no rework. Circular and longitudinal cuts are quick and controlled, and there’s also a dedicated stripping notch for PVC single cores from 0.2mm² to 4mm².
Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either; a pistol-style grip, soft-touch zones, spring-loaded action and locking catch all help reduce strain and improve precision and safety – especially handy on long installations.
For a full-on solar setup, the ErgoStrip PV is also available as part of the KNIPEX PV Installation Set (00 31 31 V01), which includes PreciForce PV crimping pliers for reliable connector crimps every time.
