WEICON Multi-Stripper No. 400

WEICON Multi-Stripper No. 400 is a professional cable preparation tool developed for preparing the outer sheath of different cable types and certain conductor cross-sections. The product combines circular cutting, longitudinal cutting, stripping, and cutting functions in a single body, providing practical use in field applications. Its ability to work on common round cables with outer diameters of 8–13 mm and on certain conductor cross-sections in the range of 0.5–6.0 mm² makes it a functional solution for electrical installation and wiring work. Offered within the Germany-based product range of WEICON GmbH & Co. KG, this model is specifically designed for controlled cable preparation, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

Technical Structure and Operating Range of the Weicon No. 400

This model is designed for use on PVC-insulated solid and stranded conductors as well as on round and wet-room cables. The housing material is fibreglass-reinforced polyamide, combining light weight with mechanical durability in a balanced way. The internal blade is fixed and integrated into the housing and is not replaceable; this approach is intended to provide consistent operating characteristics in daily professional use. With an approximate length of 155 mm and a weight of 79 g, the product offers a form that is both portable and easy to use in confined spaces.

Cutting Mechanism and Application Performance

The main advantage of the Multi-Stripper No. 400 is that it combines circular cutting, longitudinal cutting, stripping, and cutting functions in a single body. Thanks to its contour blade design, controlled stripping can be performed on conductor cross-sections of 0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm², 4.0 mm², and 6.0 mm². This structure simplifies workflow especially in standard electrical installation applications while providing the user with a more organized and practical working process. Its performance should be evaluated less in terms of thermal or chemical resistance values and more in terms of multifunctional use, ease of operation in hard-to-reach areas, and process control.

Application Areas and Compatible Cable Systems

This cable stripper offers functional use in building electrical installations, junction and distribution boxes, switch panels, service and maintenance operations, field assembly, and general electrical installations. It is especially suitable as a professional hand tool for electricians and installation teams working in ceiling spaces, wall cavities, distribution boxes, and other confined areas. Its ability to work with round and wet-room cables as well as with certain conductor cross-sections makes it practical for both internal wiring and auxiliary connection applications. In this respect, it stands out as an efficient auxiliary tool in residential buildings, commercial properties, technical service work, and general electrical infrastructure processes.

Application Method, Advantages, and Certification

During application, the cable is placed in the appropriate position and, depending on the requirement, controlled circular or longitudinal cutting and stripping are carried out on the outer sheath. Its compact housing design, multifunctional use, and suitability for working in hard-to-reach areas are among the product’s key advantages. The fact that it has passed TÜV NORD safety testing constitutes an important reference in terms of quality and safety for professional use. The product must only be used on de-energized cables and conductors and must not be used on live lines.
