Discuss How to deal with Pyro Cable? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

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.
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.

Started by using a pair of side cutters
 
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.
