i use these for 2nd fixing, as they're handy for cutting down 3.5 screws as well. View attachment 6521
1st fixing I use the shears
one of these? a pair?Does any one know where i can obtain a pair of flex strippers for taking the outer sheath off any size flex
I used to have the Ideal 45-235 T&E stripper - my neighbour was a rep for the distributor some years ago. One click for the sheath (unless you got some crap cable with no talc), another for all the conductors at one time.
At the moment it's a combination of stanley knife for the sheath and Weidmuller Stripax for the conductors.
Either way, a squarely cut sheath looks far more professional than the "rip&strip" method.
me wants these

Don't people strip wires anymore @Specialist?
Cable shears do a very good job and train you to be careful. I use a jokari to strip the end of singles - great for 2nd fix and in tight spots.
Where did I say people don't strip wires anymore ?, Thought I merely pointed out that the poster was replying to a 6 year old thread & may struggle to get a response.
