Micc stripping/potting tools wanted

[rolyberkin]

Does anyone have a set of micc tools they no longer require (or want to use) they would like to sell. Been years since I did any micc and have a job coming up with a load of micc installed!?

 

[buzzlightyear]

yes thanks .

 

[rolyberkin]

yes thanks .

Don’t think you read my post then?
No replies required if you have some you don’t want to sell!

 

[buzzlightyear]

just been on flee bay for you can get a set from them .

 

[rolyberkin]

Yes just seen a basic set on there for £50 or offers, not a bad price. They are the kind of thing someone on here may have lying around and want to sell, especially if anyone has straighteners, a few fittings etc.

 

[buzzlightyear]

when I retire my set will go in the ground with me ,next to me power tools and screwdrivers cables ,etc. etc.

I will never use them but I will keep them for nostalgic reasons and I was awesome at Pyro the go to person on site when I was 19 - 24.

Found this today which I want to get rid off as to be honest never used them as I made my own strip'ing tool. not sure what they are worth seen them on eBay for £50 each but I think the seller is having a giraffe.

I have the crimper, ringing and potting tool as well as my home made strip'ing tool, those strippers where a pain when doing 7ft tails.

I dont actually use the joist stripper as its a pain unless the cable is perfectly formed.

They are useless to be honest unless you have a Pyro straightener as if doing smaller cables you can just use a pair of side cutters.

Sad also that I have a set of 20 and 25mm stock and dies with a spare die and guide........

Would that be an 8mm steel rod, about 18” long with one end bent to make a handle and a slot cut into the other, into which the MI outer sheath was put?
Mmm pyro, i miss the dust getting everywhere and the occasional shorted out pot
