CK T2250 ArmourSlice SWA Armoured Cable Wire Stripper 12-36mm

Aug 25, 2020

Armour-ous Thoughts!

I read in another review that it might have been a better idea to have included rollers in the adjustable jaw as against the plain alumininium casting, but apart from having to dismantle the two-piece casting to remove fash from the injection moulding process and lubricating both the thread and the spring-loaded stem, I found the tool to slide fairly effortlessly over the cable being scored. This was further improved by the application of a smear of petroleum jelly on the jaw beforehand. Curiously, the teeth of the saw blade that perform the scoring of the armour wires are arranged to do so on the 'back-stroke', so to speak! If one ignores the instructions and attempts to rotate the tool in the normal cutting direction for a toothed blade, the teeth bite fiercely into the sheath of the cable, resulting in an untidy scoring! Using any toothed blade to 'cut' on its back-stroke usually results in rapid wear of the blade; perhaps that's why five spare blades are included with the tool! I've prepped just four cable ends with the tool to date and found it to give particularly consistent and accurate scoring around the entire circumference of the cable, something which isn't always achieved when using a junior hacksaw. It is for this reason in particular that I would recommend this tool, especially if one is working regularly with SWA cables; for the occasional user however, it may be difficult to justify the cost of the tool versus the hacksaw! A well-made tool from a reliable manufacturer!
