I have one, they are a useful tool make the ends off nice and neat and damn useful when working in confined spaces where you can't get your junior hacksaw in.

 

[telectrix]

useful a tight space where you're in , but not essential

 

[Knobhead]

Use a junior hacksaw and do some practice.
Don’t forget the shroud and glandnut!

SWA is a doddle to make off.

 

[Carlosfandango]

No way the shroud will cover the amount of armour he exposes!

cheers guys,...much appreciated...i can deffo see the use in it (confined spaces to name one).....i no it may seem a bit of a gimmik, but electric drill once seemed a gimmik (i bet)

Dillb, telectrix,...quick replies....fab!

I've used a similar one called a blade runner, we had around 150 ends to make off and our boss thought these would be quicker, personally i prefer hacksaw, no reason just personal preference.

Not seen that one must be new, got a kew tech one not as big as the Ck one but does the same job dunno if I'd pay 30 quid out my own pocket one mine got put on bosses account…as for usefulness fount it quite handy for garden lighting job just done but nothing wrong with a hacksaw does just as good job

 

[SPARK2B]

I don't think you're able to change the thread title once it's posted. I've deleted the other thread.

It is okay Fella, I can see your English has improved enough to actually be readable now, English will be fine :yawn:

I take it time has elapsed on the patent for the blade runner now then if CK are making that copy now then?

I have got a blade runner and it is good for the cable sizes it fits properly (not the smallest sizes or anything big)
The apprentice got a bit marked when I wouldn't let them use it until they had learned to do it properly first.

 

[Guest77]

To answer your question, I wouldn't bother with that tool, I would use a hacksaw, if your worried about making the armoured square and neat put some inulation tape around the cable before cutting it so you have a guide to follow.
