is it just me?

[telectrix]

as title. do you all scrap your offcuts or save them for that small job. e.g. extra socket 2m run, or scrap it alla nd just use a new drum.

I was taught the cutters method or to use a stripping bar (old screwdriver with a slot cut in it)
I've now got a joistripper, but it only does certain sizes, so the manual method still has its uses.

The tool to get the clean cut is a ringing tool, I've lost mine which has really annoyed me so I have to make the ring with a pair of cable shears at the moment

You've jogged my memory we had to make a stripping bar at college. The ringing tool, I' sure I've still got one. Must be worth at least £500

I remember mastering the knack of stripping the copper sheath with side cutters when I was about 18 , a nice feeling.

get a plastic backbox with white knockouts in, they dont crack and flex a little, they are a lot better.


how many times have you push a socket/switch back or overtightend the 3.5mm pins and crack.


ive only made a few mi ends off, it would be nice to do a job in it
