How to turn a drill attachment into a standalone single purpose tool.

Looks like a fancy way to do something simple without the weight of your wallet slowing you down.

Long form BOLTRs are back! Thank you, I've been looking forward to this.

Just wanted to say thanks! Your videos using your mills and cnc machine sparked an interest in me and helped me get a job as a CNC repairman and get out of a field I hated. That and thank you for the countless hours of entertainment!

At work yesterday, working on hydraulics, I said, "As my uncle bumble fuck would say, 'release the Shmoo!'" right as I cracked open the first line. My coworker looked at me like I had a DeWalt wire stripper growing out of my head.

my fave canadian lesbian is back with a classic

What's wrong with using your teeth ? The three I've got left do a fair job but I do struggle with the steel coated cable .

I (and likely someone such as yourself) would get quite the chuckle out of seeing a "169 piece DeWalt 18v stripper puzzle" listed on your Etsy. This could be done with all the boltr tools that don't quite come up to temperature on the healing bench. Just a bag of torx screws and gear sets. A crisp high five if it goes back together and works.

For a one-off or quick job, they're a pain in the ass. But if you've gotta do a lot of connections in short order they come in handy. Or at least that's my experience from us tearing out & rebuilding the electrical system in one of my company's data centers. Everything else was preassembled busway stuff, but doing all the feeds and stuff is where it came in handy.

Uncle Bumble, I just wanted to thank you. Without these BOLTR vijay-Os (and 5 years on the job from the bottom) I would have never impressed the head Enginerd at work enough to get me transferred from production line super to R&D. I get paid to basically break things and help them design & produce better products.

This will look reeeally good sitting in the bottom of your tool box, buried underneath 287 far more useful tools for the remainder of it's natural life.

The Bris-a-Breeze! Soon to be found remarketed at a Rabbi near you.

that rubber pin on a side of a bearing pocket is not for "damping". it is there to prevent outer race slip. this dirty trick is useful when your manufacturing process cant hold any tolerances needed for proper bearing fit ))

Always a good day when AVE posts

PSA: That led board is a common failure point. LED does not like water like the old ones did. If your Dewalt doesn't spin after waterboarding pull the connectors on that board.

That fly at the end knows what a fresh turd is.

Looks to me like AvE was perusing the Dewilt catalogs with most of a six pack consumed. I almost ordered a Chech bride that way...

I like to think the original intent for this was to speed up circumcision in high birthrate reas. However, the medical board didn't care much for the fact that it created a masculinity complex in babies and their fathers due to the depth, therfore it was kicked down the creek, got a new coat of paint and what ya know it's now in your local big box store to you know, strip wires! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

$165 USD plus $30+ for each die. I love the idea of a custom adjustable die...

0:25 - The interesting roots are caused be nematodes. Next season, plant a row of marigolds between each row of root veggies. The marigolds' roots release a toxin that kills and drives off nematodes.

With a slight modification you could sharpen a whole pencil at once. Think of the time savings!

EE here, finally my time to shine. The only wire stripper "power tool" (if you can call it that) worth using is the thermal variety. Patco is a classic name. It's the only way to strip hundreds of PTFE insulated wires to the exact same dimensions in one sitting.

⚠️"Do not place dingus internal to rotating tool. Deglovingly may result, which the user may find inconvenient." 😳

I just found your videos like two weeks ago I work in the oil field and laughing my ass off why we’re sitting on pad on wait time been watching the hell at of the boltr list 👍🏻👍🏻

At least the light is in a good spot. My Dewalt has it above the trigger so the chuck perfectly shades the work area.

I work in seafood and have no use for any of this... I'm here for the laughs!🤣

Terminate a couple hundred runs of 750 MCM using a manual stripper and you'll appreciate this puppy. It uses Greenlee and Ripley bushings. The elec-chicken looking to ditch their 2x2 for this will have those, hence the tool-only flavor. Also available as a kit with twenty bushings in sizes ranging from "what the hell is that for" to "the ones I need are optional."

I will always appreciate aVe's consideration for us headphone folk 💜💜💜

Looks like a solution looking for a problem to me.

This tool is used very often by large electrical contractors in the mid atlantic with strict no knife safety policies. Mainly in data center construction where there are several hundred to several thousand sub 600 volt feeder terminations. It's actually very efficient if depth and length are calibrated perfectly. It allows you to be very consistent with strip lengths when using compression lugs, when the customer has a very strict tolerance on bare conductor length extending past the lug. It does nothing that you can't already do with razor knife.

AvE: TIME! Me: *looks at stop watch* I guess we're not really going for speed anymore...

Missed your tool stuff! Glad to have more. Thanks. Hope more is coming

Been awhile since a BOLTR. Happy to see it bother me when my phone made annoying noises. Haha. Take care everyone

Having used a utility knife a manual stripping tool and a drill mounted stripper, this DeWalt tool is a wrist saver well worth the money spent on it. having to strip 36 500mcm cables for the large transfer switches weekly for the past 3 years

I bought this tool with a battery and (almost) complete die set a couple of years ago to use on a big solar panel installation. Lots of repetitive stripping to terminate 90 or so conductors. Also was great on the AC feed and service conductors. Haven't used it since, but saved a ton of labor time and made great repeatable cuts.

Looks like a hell of a circumcizer. Glad I was born when the remote control was the closest kid to the TV.

DewClaw: :"Hey AvE, have you seen my cable stripper?" AvE: " Stripper? I damn tore that thing apart"

I can’t wait to hear a review from you about this fancy new DeWalt battery

I have one of these at my job, but never use it because its garbage, and the DeWalt bushings are garbage (blades are dull, chews the insulation instead of cutting through it). All the DeWalt is is a Greenlee GTS-RDS or Ripley WS22A perminantly attached to a drill driver. Milwaukee has a model, but they actually innovated with their implmentation, they built the motor around the cutter, so the tool is way more compact. The Milwaukee dies are also razor sharp and cut very easily through the cable insulation. Its an impressive tool. We have modified the included busings to work with DLO cable, in the 374, 444, and 535 MCM sizes. We have also worked with Ripley Labs to have custom busings built for other cable sizes and types.

These videos are my absolute favorite! Thank you AvE!

Those vegetables look like they've been getting a steady dose of the blue pill fertilizer treatment... Though these days the lines between farm and pharm 'supplies' are blurrier than ever.

Great to have a new BOLTR to stir the soul - thank you sir!

This might be good for donor parts to fix a drill.

In this episode AVE disassembles the automatic moyle machine. A full day of briss in one charge.

Its been a long time since I've seen the master bumbleforked by the tool makers. Not since the days of the rollie have there been so many giggles at the countenance of a thing.

Aussie here, new BOLTR on Sunday mornin with the coffee... NICE!

I have owned Crafstman cordless tools for 20 years and just last fall I decided to start upgrading to DeWalt instead of the new Crafstman 20V series. I first bought(2) of the impact driver, drill, 2 battery and a charger in a DeWalt bag kit from Lowes. I was very happy with the performance. I then upgraded my garden tolls with cordless DeWalt tools, blower, string trimmer, pole chainsaw, 20v chainsaw, hedge trimmer, multi-tool, 1/2 socket impact hammer. I'm very impressed with the battery time and power of the tools! I bought a few DeWalt knockoff Chinese batteries and they are NOT worth the cost savings. The Chinese Waitly brand battery with the little battery gauge that reads in digital percent worked good but I had it on my pole chainsaw and while hanging up some bar oil dripped down the pole and ended up seeping into the battery. I picked it up to wipe it off and notice the battery was popped apart in the front screw area. Here the oil eats that cheap plastic of the cheap Chinese battery. I don't need that. I'm buying genuine DeWalt batteries from now on.

I have not seen one of these before, is this the equivalent of a barrel pencil sharpener put into the chuck of a drill to peel insulation?

Awesome vid, and as a electrician who has had the option to try this tool, it leaves me lacking compared to other options. Faster then a knife on 500kcml bowden you got a bunch, sure, but the manual stripping tools you hand rotate can be too. One tool I used was a 5/16 or 3/8ths tool steel square blank with a L grind on it. You just rotate it and it scarf or spits, or whatever a curly insulation right off. A socket with q blade and a right grind on a tool bit will be much more handy for me to jam in milfuckey impactor

It's for purple doing hundreds and hundreds of connections a week. Not for someone doing 6 wires every month. These are standard equipment on commercial jobs. Every job I've been on, the electricians are using these.

Love the BOLTRs, main reason you're my favorite channel on here

First thing that comes to mind looking at this tool is there is going to be a lot of secondary circumcisions going on. Thanks for the new boltr.

Every time ave releases a video a lead designer of some project at DeWalt looses their job 😂

Still good to hear you say "I've never seen this before" Thanks for sharing

That looks like the perfect tool to make the shop buy. I could see it being useful for the winders at the electric motor shop im at.

Not many video notifications can actually make me salivate, AvE’s BOLTRs do the job perfectly. Thanks!

Happy happy Saturday the leader from the empire of dirt uploads.

Have missed these.

I have used these and Milwaukee's version as well. The dies can be very finicky and it can take a minute to get everything adjusted right but once you get it correct these are very useful for things like cutting in large switch gears and transformers, I would only suggest using these if your company will buy them for you but if you gotta pay just stick with the good ole razor blade

The box opening portion of this one took me back to a day where I was using what was my favorite power tool. An oscillating cutter which I was using to take a thin strip off the bottom of some doors. Like using a utility knife with the power and audio calamity of a table saw.

Definitely looks like one of those tools you buy specifically for 1 job and it sits on the shelf after that, probably to never be used again.

Re: the Lee Trevino feather touch - "You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen."

Missed ya bud. The summer fire's of your family bugging out for safety reminded me of Lassen County,CA growing up farming. Happy your back! I'm working my ass of to achieve a shop in my 30's. Appreciate your work.

Bought one of these a couple months ago and it's still going strong. Use it for terminating new underground services. I will say though, I got the tool only on sale for about 80 petro dollars, but I already had a full set of ripley bushings which just so happened to fit it perfectly. Like another guy said on here, it's a real pita on one offs, but when making multiple connections for a new pad mount transformer it's a real time saver.

You can buy a really cool custom knife for that price. And then look like a boss when you're manually stripping the wire.

I am a music producer by profession, but I have a degree in Zoology. I always have fun telling the “why” story.. But this colleague of yours has definitely beat me to this ‘tour-guide to pizza’ analogy... I’m definitely using it next time!

I saw a lineman pull one of these out of his bag while dealing with some 5/8" aluminum wire. Took him all of 5 seconds yo get all 4 wires of a 3 phase system stripped while leaning out of a bucket. I did the pocket knife routine to strip the other end and it took me a good two minutes each wire as I could not manipulate my way around the wire like you would with something more forgiving. Definitely not a tool for home players, but a great time saver for the elecchicken pros.

Finally your back with the tool breakdowns lol 😆 🤣

His vocabulary is remarkable

I learn more words from AvE than my literacy class lol

Had a nightmare last night. You made a video that you were not gonna continue on KZfaq. Then you posted today, made my day!

This tool is really going to help my home circumcision business.

I've got three of these in my bucket truck. It's pretty decent from stripping hendrix, and isn't bad when your pulling new wire and are stripping to put new pickles on. Even works on triplex. But it is pretty useless with everything else we've got. Only really speeds it up a little. And it works up to 900.

You had the impact in self-tapper mode, 3 is high power

Googled "Black and Yellow strippers" after watching and now the wife has questions. Thanks.

Love the NanoSaw. I'm on blade number 4, but it still goes amazing. Thanks for the Review

Haven’t bought one for almost a year and half waiting for this I’m not even lieing haha this made me so happy as a romex ranger

oh how I have missed that type of video but I'm not complaining about any of them hardhat stickers

These videos are the best. trusty ol' snapped bits back on the scene

Company bought us some of these in kit form a while back. If I remember right, the dies run from #2awg to 600 or 750 kcmil. I’ve used it on stuff in the 250-500kcm and like it for that, especially if doing several. Quite a bit faster than the razor knife I was using.

Fly dropping on product 15:35 says it all.

This seems like something a master electrician would trick their apprentice into buying for a laugh. "Oh yeah, if you want to be taken seriously in this business, you are definitely going to need one of these."

Awesome concept pushed thru upper management and to market in less than a month. This one will make em a mint...then they realized you have now 2 drill motors you gots to haul up that ladder.

I've used these for a while now at work. I was really skeptical at first but to be honest like some of the other guys have said depending on what the insulation is it can work well. I've had decent results with THHN. If you get it off center your pretty well screwed, If you have the aluminum die on the copper or vise versa you can make a mess also. There's tons of dies and it's kind of a pain changing them out for different sizes. All that being said I keep going back for more cause stripping cable with a knife all day really blows. I have not got a chance to try out the Milwaukee strippers yet but these are worth the quirks to save on the hands in my experience.

Who the hell silenced my drill wtf guys

I'll let yah know, we had one of these insulation rippers at the boeing plant for a quick substation job and the boss man said it was going to improve productivity. Sure it'll do the trick but the stripping assembly cantilevering off the tool like that brought it's early demise. After only one short fall off the cart it managed to bend the die holder. It wasn't much of a productivity improver before the accident and it sure as hell wasn't much of one after. I'll keep my hawkbill thank you, and have a nice day!

I love your witticism, I understand about 60% of them maybe because I don’t speak French but when I get them they really land. Fun as shit and I learn something new every time.

Because of your videos, I picked up one of those easy cut saws and it's damn useful. If only those blades didn't cost so damn much.

I think one of these could’ve defeated Thanos on the first day. Think of all the hassle that could have been prevented.

I’m currently interning (as part of my electronics apprenticeship) at a physics lab. They’ve got several automatic strippers. One is just for micro-coaxial cables. You program in the length and depth of each step for the jacket, the shielding, and the dielectric, in 0.01mm steps, and it spins and whirs and pops the cable out! I don’t even want to think how expensive that thing must be…

Oooo many more tools need this ave! Glad to see this

The Suggested Add under my screen was Dewalt... and I didn’t even think about it the whole time I was watching... till I rotated my phone to give you a thumbs up 👍...

I see this as a replacement of the shopvac in causing lonely Friday night workplace injuries.

Hey brother the carrot issue relates to having to higher nutrient levels in the soil where your growing the carrots, they grow out instead of long and thin 🇦🇺🌏🌎🌍🙏🏼

Great video as always, thank you for keeping it up & interesting :) However, looks like this tool is meant for stripping the semiconductive layer when doing high voltage terminations and splices with some consistency. You will need the right dieset for the specific cable used, as it shaves only the thin conductive outer layer on the main insulation.

I been needing a tool to take the end off my cigars after I turn them into a blunt. This seems logical.

That little m12 impact was in autostop mode, just needed to select a different power level on top.

This kind of tool makes me happy that i was patient enough to learned using a paring knife to strip wires.
