Can anyone who has cut themselves while stripping an SWA cable please reply here. If you could post a pic of the scar or cut that would be great.;)
 
Muddy wet SWA, a school workshop, stanley knife with new shiney blade, you get the schene ! thumb split in two dammmmmm would have made a good you tube post but alas didnt have cam on own so soon as conjealed drove home to get plaster lol then hospital !
 
Whilst supervising a Vauxhall shutdown I noticed a subby stripping Multicore SWA across his Knee using a hook blade stanley (the type carpet fitters favour), advising him against this method I then moved on to another part of the factory.
About an hour later I went to see how he was getting on, where-upon he requested a Band-aid. My question " how big?" was met with him letting go of his grasped knee showing me the gaping hole in his jeans & his leg:eek:

Band Aid:confused: more like seven stitches in hospital!!:D

Also good for cutting strands of cable armour, although I try to restrict their use to copper.
