Looks like a classic case of the Boss of the company being assessed by the NICEIC and employing Dave from the pub to do the work, awful job. And he has stripped the Tand E by using the cpc to rip the sheathing away.Fed up with finding rubbish like this in new builds. By a NICEIC Approved Contractor

Quick as you can, lads. We’re on a price here.
Writing on the circuits sticker (with a sharpy) AND using the little pictures. That’s classy.
What’s a “Coker”?
Per Ardua Ad Astra. (or R.A.F.).

usually a single edge razor blade for chopping coke blocks into powder.
how do you mean?And you know this how, @telectrix ?
We stopped doing new builds years ago, couldn't compete with £1375 for a 3 bed semi!
This is a terrible installation I agree but what's wrong with stripping T&E like that? It's the way I was told/taught to do it in college too and I always just assumed it was the normLooks like a classic case of the Boss of the company being assessed by the NICEIC and employing Dave from the pub to do the work, awful job.

Obviously the Tutor hasn't been shown / told how to Strip T and E properly, so he/she passes on this rough method to the unsuspecting Students. Oh forgot to say I personally would NOT use a Stanley type knife, the blade is far to thin for this work, you need a decent folding knife oe one of the many fixed blade Electricians knifes of which there are many on the market CK do a decent folding knife, about a tenner I thinkThis is a terrible installation I agree but what's wrong with stripping T&E like that?

Looks OK not seen them before

Cid without being rude. I totally disagree with the Statement "you wont be able to see "1f the live conductors have been damaged if you use a knife", using the cpc to strip the cable bad practice in my book and many others I would imagine. Can't have any pride in your workmanship if you leave the ends like the example shown in the OPHow do you this thing inside a back box?
Nothing wrong with using the earth wire to strip the sheathing. A knife will be worse as you won't be able too see if you have caused any damage to the insulation of live conductors.
