Twin & Earth Stripping Tool

[JUD]

Does anyone know where I can get one of these....

It slices the sheath down the centre of T&E. Looks like it has an adjustable size gauge on the top too. :cool3:

Thanks Hawk, it's on it's way.

Have you ever used one? If so, they any good?

 

[Hawk81]

I have not used one but have been told by a sparky mate that they are good. I am tempted to order one myself.

The piccy in post #1 was a snapshot of a video on learninglounge.com.

He seemed to be getting on with it OK. Made it look effortless.

There is also a CK wire stripper, I have one but have only ever used it a couple of times and not on T+E cable.

i just cut tghe centre of the twin with my ciuuets and pull the cores apart, not the CPC. works for me, and i find it quick and easy. i cant justify carrying another tool. saying that, ive got a jokari for doing FP, and flex, which can sometimes be a pain to strip.

Do you use that method with LSF?

i use thatmethod with all twin and earth, and sometimes on flex too. on PVC/swa/pvc cables, i use that method too.

The tool has just arrived. Very quick and easy to use.

It's a lot heavier and sturdier than I was expecting it to be. Blade depth and cable width adjusters too.

Just tried it on some 10mm². Went through it like hot knife though butter once I got the blade depth set right.

pair of pliers on t&e grab one core and yank it down, just rips the rubber, real easy. fp just make a nip and it breaks when bending, and flex just s you snips and fiddle about bending it and snipping , you do become good at it and overall 6in1 combi cutters from ck do the lot. swa i just use stanley mark round the slide nife away . i do have a si ilar type jokari tool and aint that good , to much fittering. there learn from me for free.

I have always done it that way using the bare earth wire to split the sheath but I think this tool makes it a lot easier.

I've also tried using the CK auto wire stripper but find it difficult to get far enough down cables when they're in back boxes etc.

If you don't mean it then why have you done it?
