Got one of these today , not liking it yet

Dunno why they put all those extras on the handles of these gadgets , crimping and cutting

Like you, my first 20 minutes fiddling with these were frustrating. Then I got the knack and for T&E up to 2.5 and singles they work well enough to hold a place in my main grab bag. Might be worth fiddling a little longer before rejecting.
 

Does anyone use Or has anyone used one of these?

My dad has about 3 or 4 of these in his tool box , I personally have never used one but were they a popular thing back in the day ?
Me. Lasted donkeys years until a shower of rain got in to my tool box.
 
These strippers which are similar to the above ,see to be used a heck of a lot in America & Canada

 
Customer handed me one of these electric handsaw things as I'd forgotten my handsaw

Dunno the name but I was impressed for light work anyway

Needed a guide to get started accurately
 
Reciprocating saw?

Builders love them as they're perfect for rough work. Definitely serve a purpose, but I never carry mine to work as it takes up too much valuable toolbox space.

Blade looks like a handsaw blade except it's electric

Not the same as the reciprocating saws I just googled
