Was always pretty sceptical of seeing these on site, but as the job I was on was making off hundreds of armoured cables, anything that would make the process easier would be welcomed. Very simple and easy to use, and once the blade has been set to the right depth, it literally flys through the inner sheathing of the armoured within seconds. So much quicker and easier than a Stanley knife, and never ever marks or damages the insulation around the copper cores. Definitely makes the job quicker and easier.

I decided after years of potentially dangerous struggling with larger diameter cables using a Stanley (other brands are available!) knife. a dedicated designed for the job tool was going to be better. Certainly the rotary knife end fulfils that hope. Not sure about the linear end ~ the instantly retracting knife mechanism seems "clunky" although the safety aspect is clearly what they were thinking about in its design. OVERALL a great piece of German engineering excellence.

This product is excellent due to its very well thought out design, its safety systems and does the tasks that I want it to do very well. Having had a previous design of this knife I was very impressed with the new safety blade protection and have at last found an all round tool for dealing with preparing and terminating steel wired armoured cables

A compact and versatile tool, that's great for ringing and stripping cable, just set your depth, ring the cable, then pull the cable through and peel the sheath off, job done.

If you’re working with SWA this will save you hours of time and frustration, great for flex too!
