Klein Tools 1571INS Insulated Linemans Skinning Knife

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 1571INS is an insulated lineman's skinning knife designed for stripping and skinning wire and cable insulation in electrical trade applications. The insulated handle construction provides a protective barrier during low-voltage work, making it a standard hand tool for licensed electricians and linemen working on residential, commercial, and utility installations. The knife is sold individually and is well-suited for day-to-day cable prep tasks where control and edge retention matter.

The 1571INS is used by electricians and linemen for skinning cable jackets and stripping wire insulation in panel work, conduit runs, and overhead or underground distribution applications. It is appropriate for both residential service work and commercial electrical installations where a dedicated skinning blade is preferred over a multipurpose utility knife.

Key Features

• Insulated handle construction for added protection during electrical work
• Skinning blade profile designed for controlled removal of wire and cable insulation
• Compact single-tool form factor suited for tool belts and pouches
• Sold as an individual unit for targeted replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental hand tool for electricians and linemen requiring a dedicated insulated skinning knife for wire and cable preparation tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified electrician or lineman in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes. Always de-energize and verify circuits are dead before performing any cutting or stripping work on conductors. Keep the blade sharp and inspect the insulated handle for cracks or damage before each use, as a compromised handle reduces protective performance.
