A game changer for flex/H07/5 cable. Does tend to nick the inner cores sometimes, especially for SWA inner sheath so be careful or else you'll be cutting back 👍

I have been using one for about two years now. It is good but you do have to test it first on the cable type. I found it can nick or score the inner conductors on some flex type cables if you apply too much pressure and I think that may be caused by different chemical composition of flexible cable types particularly ones with a hard outer sheath. Once I got used to it I really liked it. Not sure I would use it on coax as I have always used a Corex 2 for that purpose and the Corex will strip all the parts of a coax in one strip. The Ergostrip is great for NYM cables and I would highly recommend it for that. Finally, Knipex do a demo video on KZfaq, you should look at before using the tool as they appear to score the outer sheath and then move the tool back down the sheath before pulling to slide the outer sheath off.

I do lots of data cabling, CCTV (POE and traditional coax) and install intruder alarms. For me it's a brilliant tool, I use it to strip all data cabling, even down the individual cores for older balun style systems - the same for coax systems as well. And I use it to strip the inner cores on the mains connections to a fused spur for alarm panels. Was working with an electrician whilst installing an alarm before Christmas and showed it to him and it wasn't for him - his words were he didn't need another tool to carry around. Each to their own, I guess!

great vid guys. I think I'll take a punt on one of these. I purchased a Jokari stripper,similar to this ,just out of curiosity & was well impressed after years of using the "classic" wire strippers . The time that these type of wire strippers save is something else. I work in France & the electrical system here is different than the UK as in there are a shed load of cables ,so, a tool that can make the job quicker is an investment.The blades won't last forever but if I had to buy two a year,I'd still be quids in .The knipex seems to be more versatile as well.

Never bothered with wire strippers before. I just use my side cutters for twin and a stanley for anything else. It's just an extra tool to have to carry around. But yesterday I had to replace an 8 zone conventional fire panel with 4 sounder circuits and an extra cable to shut off a gas guard. All in all, 13 FP200s and another FP for the mains, some old, some new. Some enhanced with the screen, some standard with no screen. I'd managed to re-route most of the wiring for back entry as the old panel was an absolute mess, and it was such a nightmare to keep everything in place i decided it would be easier to strip the cables back further once I had mounted the new panel. I had such a hard time stripping the wiring back as I'd nick the FPs where they enter the back box and try to bend them. On the newer stuff this is usually enough for a not so neat cut, but the outer sheath does come off. But the old stuff just was not interested, and don't get me started on old enhanced. I'm wondering if one of these would be ideal for stripping FPs already inside a fire panel. I replace quite a lot of beaten up fire alarm panels so if it does that specific job then it would be a worthwhile addition to my tool box.

Had it for about 2 years and had no issues. I don’t think it needs to be razor sharp to strip most cable. I have found when using once you have scored the cable if you move the move it Slightly lower down the cable and bend it up and down on the cable the sheathing comes off a lot easier.

I've been using the ergostrip for nearly a year now. As a maintenance spark in a hospital environment it's a great tool, you can really get into backboxes to strip data cable with it. However on the mention of coax, if you put too much clamping pressure on it I have found that you can easily damage the fine braided shielding. Just takes a few attempts to get a good feel for it though.

I use such strippers very often, you can also get them here by different manufacturers, most common is Jokari or Knipex. They're All german cables are round shaped except one type. NYM and NYY are the standard ones and round, in older installations you can find NYIF, which is flat. It's still permitted to install this type, but no one does it anymore. NYIF is a cable with PVC inner insulation and a rubber sheathing. asset.conrad.com/media10/add/160267/c1/-/en/001152554DS02/datasheet-1152554-faber-kabel-020289-multi-wire-planar-cable-nyif-j-3-g-150-mm-ecru-sold-per-metre.pdf It must be nailed directly to the brickwork with special nails which have an insulated head (mostly cardboard). You'll have to nail between the wires into the sheathing, afterwards the plasterers plaster over it. If you need to go around a corner or make a 90° bend you'll have to cut the sheathing between the wires and fold the cable over. No contact to wood or other combustible materials. Not suitable for wet rooms. Back in the old days it was a cheap cable type, but now it's more expensive than NYM. The best thing is, when you rip it out of the wall you'll get a perfect new chase for NYM cable. In the old bedroom of my grandparents they used that type back in the 1950s. They used that in combination with conduits and H07V-U...ehm, sorry, since this was in the 50s and before harmonisation it is NYA of course... 😜 Main difference between twin-and-earth and german cables: CPC is always of the same size as the line(s), and the CPC must be identified with a green/yellow insulation over the whole length of the cable. So a sleeving isn't required. Only one exception, when the CPC is identified by position in the cable (excentric) like it's the case on the SWA or on NYCY (NYY with a copper shield which serves as CPC). Keep up the good work!

Quick question we use NYMJ in Ireland a lot too but never in a chase in domestic we use twin and earth(our t+e has the same size cpc and it's insulated) in commercial it's steel conduit and singles. Any way my question is do you plaster directly over the bare cable or sleeve it in some kind of conduit?
@Marcel_Germann
@Marcel_Germann 3 жыл бұрын
@@solidus784 You can do both, in most cases in domestic installations it's simply plastered directly over the cables. Cables are rated for this, so no problem at all. Even the old NYM from the 1960s directly embedded into plaster are still perfectly fine today. NYM is rated for dry, wet and damp rooms. For surface mounted installation without additional mechanical protection, embedded into plaster or concrete. Only exception for concrete: Not vibrated or stomped concrete (compacted concrete) because the compacting process can damage the outer sheathing of the cable. Outdoor installation only when protected from direct exposure to sunlight. Should not be embedded directly into soil. For outdoor installation we use NYY-J, also for buried cables.

I've used one for years, I do a lot of temporary/event/art installation type work mostly SELV/Data but some mains and wouldn't be without it, some jobs can easily be 500 plus cables/wires and it's one of my most used tools, pretty much lives in my pocket all the time, last job it was used on was a Christmas shop window display for the Microsoft store in Oxford street and it probably stripped well over 1000 wire ends on that job alone. It was also used very heavily in the making of the chameleon costume for Justin Hawkins of "the Darkness" on the UK version of the Masked singer. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNlyeJOC273Gl6c.html

I bought this thinking it would cope with anything, oh how wrong I was, wiring lights no good at all on 1mm T&E, yes alright you never said it was but I got carried away with the demo, I never thought to ask does it suit all cables. Technically you owe me £30.

Sorry, Knipex. That will slowly find its way to the back of the drawer, eventually never to be seen again until it appears on the Antiques Road Show.

Keep “upsetting data installers”, seeing how these can handle data cables is useful.

Bought 2 from a online retailer in December and a complete waste of money and plastic and to make matters worse neither Knipex or the retailer want to do anything about replacing it what happened to the good old 12 months guarantee? What this space 👎

I like the idea of that tool, but for a lump of coloured plastic with a a fancy name on it the price is too high ? I seen them prised at between fithteen and thirty-five pounds, so no thank you. Great video and demonstration though Thank you
