Bought a pair of these a while ago & they are one of the best tools I've
ever bought.

I realise Adam probably strips T&E with his teeth, but for those of us
who don't these are fantastic.

Works on both flat T&E and round flex 0.2 - 6.0mm², so you can strip
the outer insulation & then the conductors insulation - without any
adjustment.

I've used these a lot & they show no signs of wear or falling apart -
unlike some el cheapo's I've had in the past.

£12 well spent.

Never raise your hands to your kids.

Missed that one first time round, but I ordered it five minutes ago!

I use my normal side snips for removing the insulation on cables and I use
my teeth for removing womens underwear.

IME stripping wire with teeth can be done with care.

Best take nips from two adjacent spots in the insulation before going
for the whole tug. Otherwise the experience will be like a car mechanic
friend of mine, who had to have emergency dental work to patch up a
missing front tooth the day before his wedding...

strip with teeth!

Would love to see you do it with Prysmian XLPE insulated FTE cable...
....then again people pull a truck with their teeth so who knows... it
might just defeat even them.

Hah. Ditto (got a bit missing, but didn't lose a whole tooth).

I'm now the proud owner of a pair of these - purchased from Ebay for
about £15.50 inclusive of VAT and postage.

I've tried them on a range of cables, and they seem ok. They *just*
strip the outer sheath off 6mm^2 T&E, but it's a bit of a struggle
getting that in the jaws!

I suspect that the red plastic length guide won't last very long.

I can't quite work out what the little knurled adjustment screw does. It
says something about using it for wires below 0.2mm^2 - but I still
can't see what it actually *does*.

I tried it on co-ax TV aerial cable, but it was pretty useless at that -
maybe it isn't supposed to strip that? It stripped the outer sheath ok -
but that (and the folded back braid) got in the way of allowing the jaws
to close on the inner dielectric - so I was unable to strip that.

But not a bad £15 quid's worth, nevertheless.
