Insulated Cable Knife NWS 2040K with 1000V-rated handle

The NWS 2040K insulated cable knife with a 1000V-rated handle is a hand tool designed for safe cutting and stripping of electrical cables. Built for work near live circuits, the knife combines a sharp cutting edge with a handle insulated to protect against electric shock up to 1000 volts. The tool is compact and intended for use by electricians and technicians for cable preparation, maintenance and repair in both field and workshop environments.

Advantages

The insulated handle provides certified protection up to 1000 V, reducing the risk of electric shock when working close to energized conductors. The blade geometry enables precise cuts and clean stripping without excessive force, improving work accuracy. The tool's ergonomic shape ensures comfortable grip and control during repetitive operations, helping to reduce hand fatigue. Materials and construction are selected for durability under regular professional use.

Suitable for

• Cutting and stripping insulated power and control cables
• Electrical installation and maintenance tasks near live circuits
• On-site cable preparation and repair work
• Workshop cable assembly and service operations

Key specifications

• Insulation rating: handle tested for protection up to 1000 V
• Tool type: insulated cable knife for cutting and stripping
• Blade: sharp edge designed for accurate cuts and controlled stripping
• Handle: ergonomic, non-slip for secure grip during use
• Intended use: electrical cable preparation, maintenance and repair

How to use

Inspect the knife and handle for visible damage before each use and ensure the insulation is intact. Select the correct cutting angle and place the blade against the cable sheath; apply steady, controlled pressure to score and remove insulation or to make a clean cut. Keep fingers and other body parts clear of the blade and the area around live conductors. When working near energized parts, follow local safety rules and use the tool only as intended for insulated cable cutting and stripping.

Recommendations

Use the NWS 2040K only when the insulation of the handle is intact and free of cracks or contamination. Store the tool in a dry, clean place and inspect it regularly; replace if the blade is damaged or the insulation shows wear. Combine this insulated knife with appropriate personal protective equipment and voltage-testing procedures when working near live circuits.
