T


he new KNIPEX NexStrip is described as a must-have multi-tool for all electricians. This


versatile tool cuts, strips and crimps – three crucial applications all at the same time. It isolates flexible and solid conductors from


0.03 to 10 mm² with automatic adaptation to the cable cross-sections; it self-adjusts wire end


sleeves between 0.25 to 4 mm² /2 x 2.5 mm²; and cuts flexible conductors up to 10 mm². As stripping pliers, the KNIPEX NexStrip works


precisely, automatically adapting to each cable diameter, ensuring consistent stripping lengths thanks to the adjustable length stop, making it ideal for repetitive work. The fine adjustment enables reliable stripping


of flexible and solid conductors between 0.03– 10mm² even under special operating conditions, such as special insulating materials or extreme temperatures. The ratchet crimping mechanism guarantees


the exact crimping pressure so you can expect a consistently high crimp quality and as a cutting tool, the KNIPEX NexStrip separates flexible conductors up to 10mm² safely and reliably.


plans for the multi-million-pound transformation of Crescent Gardens, Harrogate. The move sees the firm providing the


mechanical, electrical, public health and sustainability consultancy design services to commercial property company Impala Estates Limited. Crescent Gardens, the former headquarters of Harrogate Borough Council was granted planning permission for redevelopment designed by Harrogate based architects, S+SA. A two-storey extension and rooftop restaurant


along with new office space and a gym are planned and work by FHP will involve initiatives to ensure the building and its occupiers will benefit from sustainable and low energy development.
