WEICON Cable Stripper No. 35-50 is a professional cable preparation tool developed for the controlled stripping of the outer sheath of large-diameter round cables. The product is designed to provide precise, fast, and safe stripping on common round cables with outer diameters from 35 to 50 mm. Thanks to its ergonomic multi-component handle and adjustable cutting depth, it stands out in field applications in terms of both user comfort and conductor protection. Offered within the Germany-based product range of WEICON GmbH & Co. KG, this model is particularly preferred for energy, infrastructure, and industrial cabling applications.

Structure and Technical Features of the Weicon No. 35-50

This model has a defined application range for PVC-insulated round cables and operates within an outer diameter range of 35–50 mm. The housing is made of glass fibre reinforced polyamide, a structure that supports both mechanical durability and operational stability in field use. The internal blade is adjustable and replaceable; the infinitely variable cutting depth adjustment via the screw at the rear of the handle helps reduce the risk of damaging the inner conductor. With an approximate length of 175 mm and a weight of 95 g, the tool offers a balanced form for controlled use on large-diameter cables.

Cutting Mechanism and Application Performance

In the Weicon 35-50, the cutting blade is integrated into the body, and its self-rotating design allows automatic switching from circular cutting to longitudinal cutting. This feature facilitates controlled opening of the outer sheath and speeds up the process, especially on thick cables. The product’s performance advantage should be evaluated less in terms of electrical resistance values and more in terms of stripping precision, blade control, and its ability to reduce insulation damage. This model is not intended for use on live lines and is designed according to safe working principles for de-energized cables and conductors.

Application Areas and Compatible Systems

This cable stripper provides functional use in energy cabling, industrial plant installation, panel supply lines, infrastructure cable preparation, maintenance and repair operations, and field electrical installations. It is a suitable solution for electricians, cable assembly teams, infrastructure contractors, and industrial maintenance personnel working with large-diameter round cables. The product is particularly compatible with PVC-insulated round cable systems and delivers efficient results in applications where the outer sheath must be removed in a controlled manner. In this respect, it is positioned as a practical auxiliary tool for heavy industry, building electrical infrastructure, energy distribution applications, and technical service operations.

Application Method, Advantages, and Certification

In application, the tool is positioned according to the cable diameter, the cutting depth is adjusted using the adjustment screw, and then controlled stripping is carried out on the outer sheath. Its adjustable blade structure, ergonomic non-slip handle, and automatic circular-to-longitudinal cutting transition are among its key advantages. Support for replaceable spare blades makes maintenance easier during long-term use and helps ensure operational continuity for professional users. The fact that the product has passed safety testing by TÜV NORD provides an important reference in terms of quality and safety, while the Made in Germany certification shown on the official product page further reinforces its production standard.
