Cable-stripping pliers includes between its clamping jaws (2, 3) a cutting unit (14) having mutually co-acting cutting elements (65, 75). A mechanism (17) is connected on the one hand to handgrip legs (4, 5) of the pliers and on the other hand to said clamping jaws (2, 3) and a pull rod connected to the cutting unit (14). As the jaws (2, 3) are closed, the mechanism causes the clamping elements (2a, 3a) and the cutting unit (14) to initially engage the cable, and thereafter to withdraw the pull rod, whilst essentially retaining engagement between said clamping elements and the cable upon continued closure of the legs of the pliers handle. The pull rod includes a pin (60) that projects freely in a direction which is normal to the movement plane of the clamping jaws (2, 3) and that engages in a corresponding opening (61) in the cutting unit. The cutting unit includes an abutment (80) which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the pliers and which limits the stripping length and includes a latching device (53, 65) for latching the arms (6, 7) together in their closed state.
