CH tools cable stripper. Cable damage problems?

[uksparks]

I use my CK stripper and never have any issues, so long as the screw is tight and you have no previous debris in the jaw, it strips ok, cannot complain.

Depending on much I am stripping, I'll either grab that or the side cutters, I'm good with both, just depends really.

I think you were just unlucky.

Oh, I never strip the outer grey, that's just daft, snip the end of the cable, pull it back, snip it, job done.

I agree, lazy but easy. Designed to do it, but think I should stop using it that way since it was the source of the problem

CK cable stripper is brilliant on flex and have used it on cat 5 as well (98/100 perfect )but twin and earth as everyone says it leaves gripper marks

just put it down to bad luck. i use sidecutters for all stripping up to 6mm.

Sidecuttters ... you use sidecutters?? Ye big soft Scouse tart!!

We in Geordieland use our teeth on cables up to 6mm and our buttock cheeks for anything bigger!

No one could accuse me of being a tightwad where tools are concerned, but I wouldn't waste my money on these strippers, a knife and side cutters have served me well over the years.

Well these modern tools, what the hell is wrong with knife if you are that way inclined, else pull back on the bloody cpc, it don't hurt.

it does bloody well hurt if the cpc snaps and your knuckles hit the wall at 20ft./sec.
