Wiss announces its latest multi-use tool, the Wiss Flip Joint Cable Cutter. The new, 8-inch fast-action tool allows professionals to cut with the cable cutter, slice with the sheath knife and strip vinyl-coated wires with the wire stripper.
"Convenience is key for professional tradespeople. They want to minimize the number of tools needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently," said Jason Wirth, product manager for Apex Tool Group. "Our new Flip Joint delivers the precision, performance and durability of three important electrician tools — a cable cutter, a cable sheath knife, and a wire stripper. Now professionals can reach for one versatile tool to tackle all of the tasks that they do most often."
How it works:
- In cable cutter mode, cut vinyl coated electrical wire such as Romex cable to length.
- Flip the handle to expose the specially-designed ultra-sharp cable sheath knife and slice through the cable sheathing to expose the wires.
- Flip the handle back to strip the wires. Integrated notches in the blade strip wire easily and can also be used to cut smaller wires.
The Flip Joint ensures sharp, clean cuts through vinyl-coated cable or bare, multi-stranded copper or aluminum wire up to size 10/3. Designed with industrial-grade plastic dipped grips, the smart contour handles provide comfort while cutting and slip resistance while slicing to help ensure precise cuts even in tough conditions.
From its innovative sheath knife to its induction-hardened cutting edges, the Flip Joint lives up to the Wiss standard of cutting excellence. To see the Flip Joint in action, check out the video here.
