HEPNYF INSULATED HACK-KNIFE

The Hepnyf was originally developed for stripping the lead sheath from PILC cables; more recently it has found widespread application in the removal of the bedding compound from Waveform CNE cables, without damage to the soft aluminium neutral earth wires.

When stripping lead sheath the blade is so shaped that with normal care a clean cut can be made without damage to the underlying insulation, allowing the sheath of live cables to be safely removed. The 39mm blade of the Hepnyf can easily be re-sharpened with a file.
