These pliers remove PE, PVC or PR Outer Sheaths similar to the standard OS plier range but differ in that instead of a single longitudinal cut guide roller, they have a guide mechanism consisting of 3 rollers in a V formation to guide the blade better when stripping wrapped helical cables. Instead of a single preset depth longitudinal cutting blade, the pliers can be ordered with a special rotating head which can be rotated to quickly change the longitudinal cut depth between 1.2, 1.6 and 1.8mm.

The radial cut depth should be 0.2 - 0.5mm less than the nominal jacket wall thickness.
