TUK-1-BLK - Tower Utility Knife - Cold Shrink Removal Tool - Black

Tower Utility Knife - For Removing Cold Shrink

Remove cold shrink in less than a minute without damaging the cable or connector. Removal of cold shrink tubing with a conventional straight razor or hooked blade can damage the cable sheath and poses a risk of injury to the operator. The Tower Utility Knife has a secured blade which protects the cable from cuts and nicks.

The TUK incorporates a rotatable blade with two separate cutting edges, one straight and one curved to a point. The blade is mounted to a lever-shaped handle and the straight cutting edge is located inside of a blade guard that can be slid between the cold shrink tubing and the cable so that a cut can be made without damage to the cable sheath. This edge is straight so that it can be easily sharpened with commonly available blade sharpeners.

How To Use The Tower Utility Tool To Remove Cold Shrink

Slide the tool underneath the cold shrink using the secured blade. The secured blade will cut the cold shrink as you move up, all while protecting the cable. Once you get to the connector, flip the tool and use the other blade to make precision cuts and remove the rest of the cold shrink.

How To Replace A Blade On The Tower Utility Knife

To replace the blade simply loosen the rotating blade lock until it comes off the handle completely. Pull the old blade out, put the new one in, and then re-insert and tighten the rotating blade lock.
