Tried using some "proper" MIMS tools last year, after 5 minutes put them down and used junior hacksaw and side cutters.

Please tell me the junior hacksaw was for cutting 6" off before terminating it, and not for anything else.

Never mind the strippers, ringing tool is a MUST.

Soon MICC will be a specialist's department, I can picture it now, a specialist company advertising for sparks over 50 capable of repairing/installing MI must have own MI tools and a pyro straightener will be an advantage, must not be allergic to powder lol

i wonder how many actually would need or use all the 'pyro tools'.
pyro straightener also known as apprentice/labourer
fp n pyro both have advantages/disadvantages. today, cost counts and one is expensive/labour intensive.
fp, i think, is more 'fragile' than micc due to flimsy sheath and air between conductors and their rubbery insulation.
u gotta admit, pyro does look better too!

Some years ago I had my pyro tools stolen,along with other stuff anyway a neighbour of mine got talking to me,he'd recently moved into the house and wanted power to a shed in his garden,asked if I would do it and would I do it in pyro,cost was not a problem as he worked at BICC and could get it for nothing.I explained about the tooling being pinched and he said "oh" and off he went,he returned a couple of days later with a 100mtr coil of 2l 2.5 and a full set of tools.This was many years ago and I still have the tools in my shed.My last apprentice asked about pyro at college and was told they don't teach it these days as it's a black art,shame really.

As much as i love the look and principle of the stuff it's just too expensive for many uses now and with increasingly better battery back up available on everything that number is dwindling

Cant see it ever being used to the extent again that it is here, heavy duty for PA system and clock circuits? Bit extensive :lol:

Maybe fibre optic pyro is the way to go
