there is something like this thats been out a while think its called bladerunner never used one though as i saw a few people make a right balls up of swa with it.would be good to know which one is best though for future reference

 

[Marty48]

Yes I had one but it was crap. This one looks like it can cut in both directions and is built to last. Not cheap but quality never is.

I really fancy buying one as I do a lot of SWA in my job and have been using a Bladerunner for the last 2 years with good and bad results.

However £90 is just too much of an outlay at the minute with it been a relativly new product. When I find more positive feedback on it I will probably purchase one then.

The Bladerunner I use cost me £20 from City and is a good little tool but I hate the segmented blade that sometimes snags, also the tension dial on it gets a bit difficult to turn. The thinkg with the Bladerunner however was that for £20 if I didn't get on with it I could have easily binned it with very few tears

The SACS looks very well made and I like the smooth blade, will definatly be looking out for reviews on here. When I finally make a purchase I will post a review on here with some pictures.

Bit blatant, could have linked to the main site.................."I wanted to develop a product that would eliminate mistakes and reduce injuries," explains Martin Barrett, managing director of DiMart...........

for 90 quid i had better stick to the hacksaw till there is some feedback or free trials on it.
i would be happy for a trial and give feedback afterwards,

90 quid think they should re-evaluate the price for their fancy pipe cutter.

I like the way you can strip the length of the cable,simple but effective.

Got one of these and a hacksaw does the job of inner insulation as well sorted.

Looks handy ,how much?

About 20-30 quid for the unbranded version and around 50-60 quid for the Knipex branded one, had it about 3yrs stops the potential of scoring the inner cores on SWA and Hi-Tuff.
