I have answered your second question, in my previous answer, as too striping an outer sheathing you do really need to try one of these strippers to see how fast they are, anything that involves a knife blade has inherent risks that can be avoided by using safer methods, that is an irrefutable fact, once you have tried one of these automatic strippers I am sure if you give it a fair chance you will be converted.

I have tried them Mike and my considered opinion is they are there to catch the novice, you won't change my mind, been using this method since I started in the1960s if it aint broken leave it alone

Do you still have cross ply tyres on your car? my considered opinion is that some old guard just don't like change.

 

[Pete999]

See what you think Pete. I use one of these daily and it is easily half the time of traditional methods. The actual use is a lot quicker than the demonstration. My main reason for use though is it is kinder on my thumbs and wrists which I have long term strain injuries in.

If you are talking stripping the cores then yes I concede, but the outer Mechanical Protection forget it waste of space and hard earned.

Us older statesmen need to stick together, my problem is Arthritis in the thumbs and it certainly helps.

Yes when you only have a few inches to work with. and it's done on a work bench, job done, in the real world I doubt it will work

Admit the CK type do have their limitations in confined space's, but the end on type you posted look to possibly being a solution, are the jaws wide enough for say 4mm T&E?

But they do work in the real world, two of us have said they do.

When you want to make the connections look like a chimp has done it

My OH has just opened a bottle of red, so I am off for the evening.

Can you strip the sheathing off close to the entry to an enclosure (socket/consumer unit etc) with those tools? I doubt it, but willing to be proven wrong.
