How much did you pay for it ?
 
I have one of these blade runner things. love it! have used it for a year now. Mainly domestic so probably once maybe twice a week it gets used. Have had no problems with it at alll. blade still sharp and ends up with a better finish than i can manage with a hacksaw n stanely knife.

Same here pal, works perfectly 4 me domestic only tho. Cant imagine it can get round much more than a 10mm armoured to be honest but ideal 4 domestics. gives a perfect ring round the outer sheath.
 
I can do the outer sheath ring, I can saw the armour OK with Jnr or full size hacksaw, but I find that the I can give a more consistent depth of cut into the armour, that's why I like mine.

I have done 16mm 4 core with mine.


BTW, once the shroud is on the perfect outer sheath ring is not really needed is it!

p.s. I have loads of experience with pipe cutters of this type, DON'T ASK!!

A clean finish is desirable to get a good gland application. I have seen some people trying to fit the gland with unequal strand lengths , not good.
 
mr.stanley and mr Jr hacksaw does the job for me .. simple and the wife still does my sandwich in squares why change ;-)
Your quite right, but a lot of construction companies are bringing in zero accident policies. Mr Stanley has been identified as the No1 cause of injuries ("Mansell M.D").
In the not too distant future you wont be allowed on site with a Stanley knife unless it is vital for the job you are doing and no alternative. H+S regs ask that bosses carry out risk assesments as part of their "duty of care". Look up SFAIRP and ALARP.
Things do change , normally for a reason. You dont see people chasing out walls with bolster chisel and lump hammer anymore? I did when I was a wee boy.:)
