Which one are you thinking about? They seem to do a whole range of them.

Got given a yellow round one that strip 2.5, 1.5 and 0.8 cable. Taken a bit of getting used to but once mastered, stripping insulation off is a doddle :smiley2:

The one for stripping flex looks very handy

? Score then snap fp200 couldn't be easier.

Can't beat a stanley knife with irwin blades.

Got to be irwin the stanley blades are rubbish

I've been using the score and snap method for years but if spending a few quid can make the job easier then it has to be worth it.

What brand do you recommend, our wholesaler only stocks haupa and to show the quality the handles etc are glued on with prit stick.

It wont hold a proper edge either

electricians knife

The best knife I've ever owned is a Japanese made knife by a company called marvell they're expensive but real quality good thick blade great for stripping t& e very sharp for fp not pointed so you can't stab the apprentice when you lose your rag. Better than any jokari gimmick

I've had one for a while but never really used it. Tried it out last week on wire armoured and some flex and worked well. Very quick. Had 16 ends to make off and it did speed the process up. I think mine was £10 from eBay can't remember the number thou.

Why not, plenty old boys in there 70/80's use them.

I've got a jokari stripper and it is handy for stripping the inner sheave of SWAs if you've got a big DB to second fix, just make sure you set the depth correctly on a excess bit you don't need (bear in mind that sometimes the inner sheath changes depth as it goes round the cores)
