dont think too much of this tool after 6 cuts the blade starts binding on the armouring and flicks out only to get lost so stick to the hacksaw is my recommendation to anyone considering buying one!!!

Cirrus

Yup, old school hacksaw won't be beaten IMO

thank you for the input ,what size swa where you ringing ?

TONY JONES

it is only really suitable up to 2.5mm above this and it wont touch it basically in my opininon keep away and save your 25 quid.

your dead right tony ,wont b too long till a solution to this is available.
prototype is in production.will handle any cable size,does both circumferential cuts simultaneously and then rotates to strip axially.cuts the steel strands smoothly.hope you get to use one when out.plan to call it a steel armored cable stripper or S A C S for short(note my e.mail address).there is an alternative to the hacksaw and stanley!

cheers for that. i saw them was thinking of geeting 1, but not now. like u say, stay old school!

I have one (i think lol) the one that is like a pipe cutter with a serrated blade?

anyway have used it a couple of times on very small SWA and found it ok I like the fact that you can keep the cable still and ring it without pulling it towards me to get a hacksaw behind (under a very tight control panel) as you know this ends up with a very uneven length of sheathing

hope that kinda makes sense I was given mine by a really nice guy I did my 17th with, I always thought there was a market for something like it and he happened to have one in his van and he very kindly gave it to me (its not very often anything like that happens!!)

I got mine for free from a rep trying to sell them in my wholsaler. Told me not to over tighten it and it will last a long time. I am up to 26 cuts on one blade. Must agree that you cant use it on anything above 4mm.

Have used mine on 16 and 25 mm 3c without probs! Plus the normal sizes
