What's everyone's opinions on these ?
You really don't have to cut deep just score, I was teaching a young guy this (just finished his EAL level 3) and challenged him on how fast his method (split and pull) and mine was. Just score bend and pull beat him timewise no problem, he still said it's a load of ..........!
Car wise I prefer something raw and "entertaining" so am going backwards as its more fun to drive something more challenging then some rubbish modern car.
Klein do a really good hard steel electricians knife its not VDE but then I always recommend not stripping live cable but there are VDE ones.Any recommendations

Believe me I have used side cutters and pliers for the past forty five years then a tool for spinning around sheaths then a cable stripper. Reaching for tools and changing up ladders not good. I was shown it by another electrician and yeh bought it. I wouldn't be without them they do the job of all the above cutting down the risk of tools falling and one tool no changing. I am surprised and I suppose it teaches me not to be so hidebound and set in my ways.worth investing in
I can, I often straigten existing rough edges on metal back box cables I have really cottoned on the the Morris method and like it. It just looks like a proper electrician has been on the job. It's just much more professional looking, with a bit of science as to why.you can't use it in tight spots
Why on earth would you do that - if you're that pushed for something to do put another coat of yellow on the hilmor!I can, I often straigten existing rough edges on metal back box cables
I take a pride in most things I do and yeh another coat could be good.......Why on earth would you do that
That's taking pride in what someone else has done - weird even by your standards!I take a pride in most things I do and yeh another coat could be good.......
i'll give you a tenner for them.I tried some out and didn't like them, well not entirely dis-liked. I keep them in my "occasional use" tool kit, that I keep in my car so I don't have to lug round loads of tools to do a quick small job. But for day to day I just couldn't get comfy using them, I guess I'm just old school

I'll have to treat myself to a decent knife (any excuse) and give it a whirl. May be do some practising on cable I pull out. Any recommendations for a good knife that's going to last?
As for the youngster... I don't get it... I appreciate advice and constructive criticism, it's how we learn to do things better. And well, if I can get a neater finish, quicker... WIN WIN!
Typical scouser!i'll give you a tenner for them.
