Thanks for watching!

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 😁

[alanmarriott]

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!?

[nsoper]

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

[brianoneill]

The ck cuts wire as well bit towards the handle. Works really well as you say

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 👍🏻

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.

[Karreth]

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.

[paultipton]

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

Bugger...Last time I look for a ‘Stripper’ on YouTube!

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

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.

[aerowilly]

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.

[familyman]

Hello Jordan I love your channel, I like all your videos.

[jzrgrmm]

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.

[Josh-mwbq]

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

[markpreston]

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

[ccmogs]

Worth £20 of anyone"s money the CK auto - fave also of mine is a CK combicutter 3 160mm , good vid . :)

[americanelectrician]

The knipex 16-20-16 is also fantastic for larger cable and cord!

[bumbles]

Take a look at the Knipex Ergostrip absolute beast for flex/coax/data

[carlrobson]

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.
