I’ve actually got a pair of these, apparently there are another brand that do up to 6mm which would be useful. Great on new cable, not so good on old colours when I’ve done some retro fitting. Always use it in lighting not on back boxes as difficult to get in far enough. Also use knipex ergo strip which is my go to. Use the Ideal for termination mostly as it’s great for measuring the correct length and with wago connectors.

I've got a pair of the CK ones, only use them if I'm 2nd fixing lots of downlights as you have to enter the cable from the side which makes is awkward to get into ko boxes. However may have to save up some pennies and invest in these style cutters. Looks time effective and nice clean finish to the cable. Still waiting for someone to come up with tool that will strip LSF T&E though!!

Thanks for the info, I was a bit disappointed how much sheath was left in the back box on your socket test. I nearly bought a pair of these to replace my CKs (which I don't use for sockets for the same reason) thinking they'd be better for making off sockets. Doesn't look to be the case, guess I'll stick to the old side cutters and cheese wire approach for now!

Update I contacted Ideal and they were absolutely fantastic, no messing around and sent a replacement immediately I have now had these for 2 years and they have just started to let me down, I would love to replace the blade and it did say that was possible when buying them but unfortunately I can't seem to find a replacement blade so its time for a replacement but I think I might look at a different brand this time

I have to disagree, clarity in terminology ensures no confusion. We don't use Fuse boards anymore so why call it a fuse board? Red & Black everybody knows as DC positive & negative. Blue brown is AC, EU or not that was an excellent idea + helps the colour blind 👍

@@EVENTSLTD really?, So you think consumer unit is better, I think it's a stupid name, and would like to meet the Muppet that came up with it, , for some reason they have taken everyday terms that even the unskilled would recognise, and replaced them with terms that have no relevance, plus they can't even make their minds up, we have had live, phase and now line, what next 🤔, probably live. As for the colour coding we only changed to harmonise with the EU, had they had their way all our phase colours would have been the same colour, red yellow blue sounds a lot better than brown black and grey, I still have to think before I say it, I was never a fan of the new colours and I still aren't either. You have the people at the IET who are a bunch of idiots, their only agenda is to constantly change things in order to keep producing a book we all have to buy, and they can't even get that right, it's full of errors, most are a bunch of old farts who have had their day, but keep coming up with crazy ideas, probably because there's a brown envelope in it for them. Apologies for the rant and going off piste 😂.

@EVENTSLTD 3 жыл бұрын

@@acelectricalsecurity I agree consumer unit is an odd name but I don't understand, fuse board is just inaccurate, nobody says shall we watch a DVD when they load Netflix and watch a film, when you charge an electric car you don't say I'm going to get some fuel for the car. I understand that we changed to harmonise with the EU, but the EU already had a much safer and clearer colouring system, so we didn't just do it to harmonise, we did it because it was an excellent idea which is why most of the other countries did it decades before the UK. What if your unskilled person is colour blind, red and green colours are hard to distinguish, an unskilled colourblind person could wire a plug incorrectly or feel like they're unable to undertake a basic electrical task. An unskilled person may believe red is positive and black is negative, which isn't the worst but it is simply incorrect. Maybe you've not realised the advantages these simple changes will bring to people others?

Great tool everything is getting easier every day. Next generation of sparkys won't be able to chase walls with a bolster chisel and a lump hammer when their wall chaser breaks down and remove floor boards withought power tools. Old skool is always best

whats wrong with side cutters between earth and a conductor then pull the earth to where you want the conductors out of the sheath, thhen cut sheat round with tio of the side cutters, Can't understand why you would use a KNIFE thats potential for insulation damage isn't it? You'd hae to use side cutter method on the ugly cable /
