With tons of wire strippers in my drawer, I didn't know what I was missing by not having this cable jacket stripper!
Jokari model T10160. It even comes with a spare blade. Who knew?!

Jokari makes some great stuff, Klein tools does a fantastic cat6 jacket stripper too.

Great video. I’m installing an audio system in my vehicle and I found this thing in a video by one of the big car audio channels. Your video went into more detail and also showed the inside of it. It’s nice having the extra blade

@5:38": "Reservemesser innen". It is German for "Spare knife inside" 🙂

Me tooooo. Thanks for watching!

Love your enthusiasm!! Just had this bought me for my birthday and wanted to check how to use it. Your video is much better than the manufacturers. Great tool!...(It...not you!)😅

@LetsOverthinkThis 8 месяцев назад

LOL, I love that thing. Always in my bag of electrical tools and always surprised it took me so long to find the category of cable jacket strippers. Thanks for commenting!

@MARKE911 Год назад

That's awesome tool to have. I could be wrong, but I was taught, using your first cable as an example. There is a nylon cord inside (similar to some cat 5 cables, you expose that then with pliers griping the nylon cord and pulling down, to unzip the outer jacket to the length exposed you want. Then clip the excess off with some side cutters. This may be completely incorrect information. I don't need this tool but I sure want this tool now. Great video,

@LetsOverthinkThis Год назад

You're not wrong that some cable types have this! Unfortunately in my experience many do not and some of the ones that do look like they have that "zipper" type cord just have a reinforcing strip in them so that when you pull them through conduit, there is something strong in there that won't break. But the jacket isn't necessarily built to just split back. Not sure which cables are... I guess the people in each field know!

@9111logic Год назад

Thanks for sharing, I have the Jokari too but some of the average HI flex cable manufacturers don't seem to produce symmetrical insulation all around as a result the blade is either too short o too long. Not the tool's fault obviously but rather the cheap cable so I still have to finish off with a sharp blade. On that note, before discovering this fabulous tool I used to strip with a blade only not using it as a knife but rather as a guillotine by simply pressing down while gently rotating the wire and never had a failure.

@LetsOverthinkThis Год назад

Yeah that's a problem for sure (asymmetrical insulation). I've done that guillotine trick and find it works great on wires but is dicey on cables: IE getting through the outer jacket without cutting the individual wires' insulation is iffy. For me that's where this tool shines. Anyway thx for watching and commenting!

@joebeezy9471 Год назад

I’m actually trying to find a video that explains how to figure out the depth of the cut. Is there a way to do it with the tool? Or is it just something you need to measure or eyeball?

@LetsOverthinkThis Год назад

There's no caliper type scale on it if that's what you're asking, but you can see the blade sticking out and I find it pretty easy to eyeball. Or just start conservatively and advance the blade a bit more if it didn't cut through. Thanks for watching btw!

@joebeezy9471 Год назад

@@LetsOverthinkThis yes, that’s what I was asking. I figured there was a way to measure it with the tool itself. Thanks for the video and reply! This video actually helped out a ton. I thought mine was broken because it kept moving around. Thanks to you I now know why it moves around. I didn’t even realize it also cuts the length of the insulation as I pull it off. I’ve been doing it wrong!

@LetsOverthinkThis Год назад

@@joebeezy9471 Glad it helped! Yeah, that swiveling blade is pretty sweet. I bet not everyone has figured that out yet.

@bonniewest5679 3 года назад

How do you know how much blade to use?

@LetsOverthinkThis 3 года назад

You can usually eyeball it pretty well to be the thickness of the insulation. But the other trick is starting with the blade pretty far in and trying to strip just a really small amount of jacket off. If it doesnt work, advance the blade a bit and try to strip off a little bit more (ie moving the cut line a little further in from the end ).eventually you'll get it right and those partial cuts in the jacket will be in the part you're stripping off anyway.

@MikeCheung1 3 года назад

The Knipex ergostrip does similar tasks, but I don’t think it’s depth adjustable.

@LetsOverthinkThis 3 года назад

Ooh good info, Mike! 😊 Will check that one out too in the future. Knipex makes such nice gear...

@kristofferholst6053 Год назад

A lot of the Knipex strippers are made by Jokari

@jessehughes3741 10 месяцев назад

Have you tired metal braided cable known as shipboard cable with these ? Wonder if it would work

@LetsOverthinkThis 10 месяцев назад

I have not but I have used it on high frequency spindle cables that have a stainless steel braided sheath under the insulation and it works great. THAT SAID, I think it has a lot more to do with the type of insulation than the underlying cable. And in the case of shipboard cable, my guess is the insulation is much tougher than an electrical cable would be because of what it's designed to withstand and I'm not sure you'd get through it. Sorry I don't know for sure!

@siclmn Год назад

If the wire is too small it will do nothing.

@LetsOverthinkThis Год назад

Correct! Like all tools it has a proper application. And also to clarify, it's not for stripping wire insulation, it's for stripping cable jackets (the insulation/jackets around multiple wires).

@Ali-iq4bb 2 года назад

This is a dumb tool! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. W every spin it walks and continues to cut a spiral. Like you did at 3:20

@LetsOverthinkThis 2 года назад

Well you might have the depth set wrong so it's grabbing the wires underneath and walking up them. Did you start with a super shallow depth? Other thing to try is swapping the blades. Maybe the one you're using got bent so its not tracking straight.
