This is a topic relative to KNIPEX 12 62 180.
It appears that KNIPEX did not get it right by the first revision of this tool.
The tool had issues with small diameter wires.
Beginning of the year 2022, KNIPEX releases the upgraded version 12 62 180 SB
Over the top jaw it is added a pressure adjustment lever.
----------------------------------------------------
This detail drive me to wonder, if all automatic wire stripping tools should have or need such an pressure adjustment lever?
But after investigating for several hours, I came in the conclusion, that this was a correction from KNIPEX for KNIPEX alone.
Because they developed their own patented mechanism, and this alone it should receive a fix.
Notes:
a) Year 2025 lowest pricing within Germany = 33.5 Euros with VAT
b) This tool its not drop-proof, be gentle to it.
c) If you are a professional, then KNIPEX product warranty this it matters the most.
