How to deal with Pyro Cable?

When I first started using MICC there were no "joystrippers" around, we had to use a larger version of a corned beef can key opener and a ringing tool.

Whenever you come across copper pyro always inform the client that the whole lot has to be pulled out and replaced. No fafing about remove the whole lot end of.

Why.

Seems an odd thing to say with qualifying your statement.

That was the first thing we made in college in the 80's, a 5mm rod, hacksaw a slot in the end and bend the other end over for a handle, I actually preferred it more than the joy stripper when they popped up on the scene.

Old churches have lots of real wood on show not painted. The pews, big doors, the alter beams across the ceiling. Bare micc with no plastic sleave and not painted looks perfect there. The copper micc with brass screws in the clips totally blends in with the wood colours.
