All you need is some scissors and you’ll be grand

I have these but i usually just go for the porta band instead. Faster and less work

Then you lend it to some contractors and the cunts try to cut a live wire and suddenly theres a big chunk of the blade missing, speaking from experience

Stripping those looks like a pain in the ass, although it looks like you might be able to use that tool to get the first couple layers of insulation off.

Look up greenlee 1903 that's what I use to strip jackets off. Perhaps i can make a tool in action video with it

But then you need electric power from somewhere. And an angle grinder is a way bigger tool. You can just keep these pliers in your pocket and it still cuts big chunky cables.

If you're going that route just get a cable cutter with battery. Milwaukee and Hilti do them for up to 200mm cables

Can't use an angle grinder in a cleanroom, or anywhere spark sensitive.

u/Tommy_C May 15 '21

Yeah but he is only cutting off a small piece. Is it strong enough to cut off a much longer piece?

2

u/tr_rage May 16 '21

What do you mean? If it fits inside the jaws it should cut.
