Built from a durable cast alloy with Klein's Ecoat finish, the 11063W is designed to resist corrosion while protecting conductor strands and retaining cable shape during stripping. It removes up to 1 inch (25 mm) of insulation in one motion and includes a tension-loaded grip that holds wires steady for consistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Katapult speed everyday wiring tasks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using a compound-action design, the 11063W grips and strips in one smooth motion so you don’t need multiple tools or extra adjustments.
