As a teenager in the late 70's my hobby was electronics. I had no money and my dad had a couple of grotty flat head screw drivers - one of which I could sometimes manage to use on the small electrical Philips screws with a bit of force. For stripping wires I used my teeth 😁

@michaelcarr8047 Рік тому

I USED to do this, until I accidentally did it with a live one!

@jamesdyas542 4 роки тому

The 1106120 used to be supplied in your apprentices tool kit about 25 years ago although it was an Elliot Lucas equivalent. Only ever used mine at technical colleage . They were called end strippers. I use shears for everything apart from the outer sheath of flex and tails. Then it’s a Stanley knife. After a bit you get a feel for it. Excellent videos thanks.

@nsoper19 2 роки тому

Knipex 70 cutters are top class. Got a pair made in 2004 that are still going strong.

@peterevans8194 3 роки тому

Great video...I use the end strippers a lot, but that's because I have a telecoms background, and they were stand issue to apprentices and installers ect...

@purplekillerpenguin 2 роки тому

A pair of electrician scissors are the best. Insane how versatile they are. Use them all day everyday. I still have all the other tools in my kit though.

I mainly use Ck Redline 3 in one combination cutters with the 1.5-2.5mm wire stripper and 3.5-4mm screw cutters which I find quite good. I just brought the Knipex 13.86.200 multiple combination cutters in March which I thought I'd get for the flex cable as it also has the ferrule crimper although I prefer to use the Ck. I would like to get the Knipex Ergo strip for flex cables to immersions and storage heater installs when replacing the old storage heaters for the Lot 20 type

Hi mate, I'm currently using the ck wire stripping tool however I'm having some problems when I try to strip back wires. When I try to strip back a 3 core and earth cable it doesn't strip the wire back all the time, it does it occasionally even when Ive put the wire into the tool correctly i.e stopping at the stopper handle or going past it while its down. When I am eventually able to strip the 3 core cable down, I'm unable to strip the sheathed cable when I try to. Any help would be great! Thank you

@alanmarriott9216 3 роки тому

Very good but most sites in on now require LSF cable which is harder to strip and ring mains now also predominantly 4mm. If you could show tools best for stripping that please!?

@obrien1sj 8 місяців тому

I was taught as an apprentice in the late 90s to use tools similar to the Knipex pair of side cutters & wire strippers, although they were made by Elliot-Lucus. It was heavily frowned upon to use the side cutters for wire stripping, incase you sightly marked the copper and therefore created a weak point right where you wouldn't necessarily see it, at the edge of the sheathing. On stranded cooper you could lose a few pieces, which was definitely a big no-no, or in solid core, a bit of lateral loading while securing it in a terminal could fatigue the copper and it could snap as the socket (or whatever) was pushed into place. The strippers were easy enough to use, and made that nicer all round cut, so you didn't feel you were almost 'tearing' the sheath off - and maybe ruining your thumb in the process 🤦🏻‍♂️ Once used to using the stripping tool, the little depth setting screw wasn't always necessary (unless to increase speed when doing many cutbacks in one sitting), because if taking your time, you could feel the point the sheathing gave way & it could be pulled cleanly away without any risk to the copper. The CK T+E tool would have been nice to have! We were taught to use a knife for the outer sheath, which again, had it's potential risks of cutting too deep & damaging the inner sheath 😕 These days, if I'm ever needed on the tools, it's always the handy Knipex ergo strip which does a great job that is quick & effortless 👍🏻

@carlrobson5745 3 роки тому

Clarke do a version of the ck strippers that have a lifetime guarantee as the springs snap on these kind of strippers after constant use. I just take them back to machine mart and they swap them for new ones with no quibble.

@Karreth 3 роки тому

I own versions of 4 of these 6 tools, and I'm not even an electrician. I am into electronics, though, where there's also a lot of cable stripping. Funnily enough, the ones you rated as least important are the ones I've found work the best for small gauge wire.

@Tools4Sparks 3 роки тому

Thanks for sharing!

@jzrgrmm Рік тому

I was looking for info about that front cut model, since I just can't find anything similar to the Jokari models in my country. I'm doing a lot of renovations lately, and they frequently have those annoying short cables inside overfull boxes, absolute pain.

@markpreston629 4 роки тому

love my jokari original, flat cable strippers, which with a little practice will also strip round flex.

@Tools4Sparks 4 роки тому

Nice one

O man i have nightmare's of that front end cable strippers at 13.08 i have learned to use them at school and during my education. i also indeed use the side cutter the knipex ones for years at work amt stil use them only when at work i need to wire a control cabinet i use some autimatic wire strippers of the knipex brand, I am from the netherlands so yes that explanes why i have nightmare's of that knipex fornt end wire strippers because those are very common in the Netherlands indeed. love to see somebody else with a love for knipex/wera tools.

@chuanliu4685 2 роки тому

13:35 What's the minimum size of the hole? Can you close it completely? I am looking for a tool to strip 0.08mm wire, and I wonder if this tool can do the job.

@jonathanbignall1198 2 роки тому

I've got the CK automatic strippers and they're pretty good, I never thought of using them on T&E like that, that's genius! I also have a pair of the strippers with the adjustment wheel, these are handy if you strip a lot of cables of the same diameter in a run, but the adjustment process is a bit fiddly, so if you switch frequently between different sizes you'll spend a lot of time tweaking the wheel and locking it in place which gets rather tiresome.

@JasperJanssen 2 роки тому

Use it a lot and you can just ignore the adjustment wheel.

@aerowilly65 2 роки тому

Plastic handle covers sliding off the CK strippers?Pull them down half way,add a few drops of superglue on each handle, then slide back on.

@WEICONinternational 4 роки тому

Dear Tools4Sparks, thank you very much for mentioning our Round Cable Stripper No. 13 in this video! But please note that the shown tool at 1:57 min is a WEICON TOOLS product. Our No. 13 is a round cable stripper for the range of 6-13 mm for all standard round cables. The product is not recommended for the stripping of coaxial cables though. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us! Your WEICON-Team

I just bought the bahco cutting pliers the exact one only problem is my one is very loose I can spin it so easily is this right

@OB1canblowme 2 роки тому

Those types of pliers should be loose, a good quality pair should be able to be flicked in the same fashion as a switchblade. If the jaws flex apart when cutting or you can see a considerable gap between the two halfs when holding up to a light then they're worn or low quality.

@jordesclark 4 роки тому

Great tools, although you missed out the best I've ever used. Stripmaster in my bag has been in there for around 5 years now, just has a squirt of WD40 once in a while.

Thanks for the video. By the way, check out the Jokari FKZ (marketed under different brands such as Quickwire). Produces amazing results for T&E, and this is from somebody who already owns the CKs.

Thanks, will do!

@gadgetman36 Рік тому

The problem with the Bahco 2233D (and the C.K 3963 version) is they aren't VDE rated, so as electricians we really shouldn't be using them. I'd suggest something like the NWS 043-49-VDE-210-SB instead. They cost more, but you can't put a price on safety.

@RuneInternational 4 роки тому

I use the Bahco for all cutting and most stripping, but as I mostly deal with round cables, I have a magic tool, you should check out. It is on the Wiha tools UKposts channel and called the Wiha TriCut Professional Electric. It is perfect for tight spaces, and safer than the bahco, when you have to work on a live cable. (Not that we ever do that)

@Tools4Sparks 4 роки тому

Cool yeah I tried one of those when working in Holland using lots of round cables

@paultipton743 4 роки тому

I went to use My Ck trunking/Conduit Rachet cutters today and found the jaws wouldn't open after cutting trunking, tried them again after and jaws still didnt spring back open, damn nuisance

@Tools4Sparks 4 роки тому

How annoying

@fananderson3913 3 роки тому

What makes the knipex strippers safer is that you won’t grab the metal parts when stripping.

@joegroves4695 4 роки тому

I made the mistake of getting cgeap version on the ck striper and they worked properly for about a week then after that it stopped gripping the cable even when tightened properly... Buy cheap, buy twice i guess!

@Tools4Sparks 4 роки тому

Didn’t know there were two versions!

@GTB-yu2be 2 роки тому

I don't know about you guys but where I work (in Ohio USA) if I had a pair of automatic strippers I would get laughed off the job site. Knipex's wire strippers on the other hand are, IMO the greatest wire strippers money can buy.

@JasperJanssen 2 роки тому

Do you guys have flat cables or round? For flat cables neither of the knipex tools here really do a good job. You can make it work of course, but the automatic one gets a neater strip.

7:50 I am not electrician but u just twist that tool around flat cable like u would with round one. Surely it will open up when u turn the cable 90 degree but the insulation thickness is the same all around so it wont cut in - simple - basic logic.

"Donkey's years"? Whoever taught you, taught you badly. You are holding the side-cutters incorrectly for stripping. You cut the wire that way, then flip the cutters over for stripping.
