Weidmuller Stripax
Since the early 1990s, Weidmuller has been my go-to for wire and ferrule crimping tools until very recently. Recently a quest to find the best wire strippers for halogen-free PUR wires and cables has me revisiting automatic wire strippers in general. Weidmuller offers a halogen-free automatic wire stripper, the Stripax Ultimate. I don’t need that model because it’s $160 and I already own the best, the Knipex Automatic Wire Stripper 12 12 02.
I’m presently looking at the quality and cost of automatic wire strippers for traditional PVC and nylon insulated wires and cables. The Weidmuller Stripax Wire Stripper 9005000000 comes in at the upper end of my budget of $85-$110 and fits exactly with my needs of 8 AWG-28 AWG. I rarely deal with conductors smaller than 26 AWG, and we will deal with strippers 26 AWG-32 AWG in another post.
Note, Weidmüller appears under three different spellings:
- Weidmüller
- Weidmuller
- Weidmueller
