50050116 Cable Stripper - Swivel Blade No.4-16

Heel moeilijk in te regelen, eenmaal juist, gaat het bij de minste tegendruk weer dwars staan. Echt weggegooid geld, begrijp niet dat dit zo hoog scoort...

Muy buen producto, solo ocupo Saber si venden los repuestos..

Great product works very well on my 6 and 2 awg wires. Adjustable

A useful tool (relative to its price) for 4-gauge and 2-gauge battery cables. Note that the blade is *free-spinning*. It appears to spin as you adjust it up and down, but that is just friction - you can orient the blade with the tip of the wire you are about to trim. Which brings me to a trick to using it - it's best to aim the triangular cross section of the blade at the open end of the spring-loaded clamp, because in heavy insulation it doesn't self-align itself easily. Then, spin the handle such that the open end of the clamp is *trailing* the rotation. Spin the handle 5-10 rotations to make a clean cut through thick insulation, which can take noticeable force. If you align the blade correctly the blade's sharp cutting edge will slice nicely through the insulation (you can look through the gap at the open end of the clamp to see the cut), otherwise it will 'balk' at cutting. I did not find that pulling it off the end of the cut insulation worked well to slice it open, and I think it might be hard on the blade as it needs to turn 90° to do so. Instead, I just opened the clamp and removed the tool, then used the 'teeth' of a common multi-hole stripper to bite into the cut piece and wiggle it slowly off the cable. Once the cut piece is 1/4" removed, reposition the multi-hole stripper to the very end of the insulation to be removed and pull - it will come off easily. I've trimmed about 50 short pieces of insulation off of battery cables for a solar battery and it saves a lot of time and does a neat job. Getting a perfect depth adjustment on the blade is trial and error, so if you have a couple of different insulation-thickness cable types, consider buying two of these tools and label which cable they are set to trim. The Weicon stripper isn't a perfect tool but for the price it does what it need to do. I'm not sure how long the cutting blade will last and I don't believe it is replaceable. There are no instructions in the box and no warranty is mentioned on the box.

puede ser un buen producto para uso domestico, pero en obra no duró nada.
