Some of that older twin and earth sheath is a nightmare to strip off! I do love modern tools and have a pair similar to those, but still love my 27 year old cable knife for older cables!!
Back in the day, I was tough to pull earth (CPC) down to split the outer casing, then trim it with side cutters...lol, now we have these wonderful (expensive) tools to make it easy. Good video 👍🏻
We have been using green/yellow earth sleeving since the early to mid seventies. Grey outer sheath I would concur with you Gaz end of the nineties early two thousands . We were still using white Sheath TW&E up to about the mid to ninteis , And it wasn’t low smoke/ halogen. Just standard PVC . Those TW&E strippers are fantastic but sadly a waste of time when it comes to the back boxes. It simply a lot easier and quicker to just pull the Earth conductor back along the required length.
You're not supposed to use the CPC to strip it because it stretches the copper (it was in an efixx video). There are other, better ways to do it like using a knife as Gary suggested.
old way is still the best, pull that cpc back , be job done about halfway through the video, Never the less well done Gaz your video's are very educating , and yes cpc not the earth we stand on that, grow our spuds in it
quickwire, jokari and CK are all the same tool. As demonstrated they are excellent but, now my blades are a bit blunt, what is the option to replace? Could you do a video on this perhaps?
Sorry my teacher, I'm a Tanzanian my problem to read/know installation of three fase and other issues about Electricity. But i haven't any sponsor😢, Please Help me because my dream is Electrical engineering🙏🙏
