"Intended" (design) and "Actual" (emergent) use are often different things. While they originally were not _intended_ to cut wires, the screw-cutter/shear tends to be the last effective 'cutting' surfaces after the rest of the tool has failed. So often if you want to _actually_ cut the wire in a predictable way (without switching tools) there really is one 'reliable' option. That it also has stays effective longer because of the a greater angle of incidence, has greater mechanical advantage because of the distance to the pivot (and need to overcome the hardness of the screws), (and has convenient serrations that mitigate slipping when they need to break/tear the rest of the wire off, or just the insulation).... It is more surprising that those desirable qualities haven't been translated to the 'intended' cutting features; Than people teaching others their preferred way to use a given tool. (note:) This is from someone who uses a pull-rivet gun to extract nails and wires (edit: without actually getting a hardened cutter/collar to keep the head/insulation from getting stuck in the mechanism.)

All those comments are from people that used wire strippers once, I’m an electrician and everything you said and described in this video is 100% true facts and proper use of all the functions on them. 6-32 hole is for cutting 6-32 screws, 8-32 hole is for cutting 8-32 screws. The other holes on the stripper portion are for making a hook on the wire so we can put it under a screw terminal like on a switch or an outlet. As far as the stranded and solid labeling you use the corresponding number to get the correct cut depth so you don’t damage the wire, stranded and solid are different sizes even though they are classified as the same gauge.

It may not be 'good enough' to make tasty potables, but since I don't intend to swallow the handles, it's good enough for _free._ Just beware that without a deodorizer the smell will accumulate and return with "full effect". (May help ID people that "borrow" tools.) (edit: The decaying cellulose smell that is.

Because they don't use the tool properly in the first place! That's gotta be it. Makes perfect sense now. Keep up the awesome content, man!

I generally use wire strippers to strip wire to expose the conductor and cut screws and I use my linemen or diagonal cutters to cut wire. Knipex seems to make good product, but my Milwaukees strip 20ga wire and I work with door bells sometime. I will, however, be buying their linemen pliers, since I use those mainly for cutting and twisting wire and I assume they use the same hardening processes for their lineman’s?

While those commenters were obviously mistaken, I don't think you can make the claim that it would be a useless solution, because there is a tool that uses such a hole to cut the wire. It's used in cable electronics. The main difference between its holes and the ones on your tools, is that they are tapered while yours are straight. The taper helps guide the strands in, and probably also helps the cutting. I never once thought that the tools you are testing could be the same tool, but I can see how half-informed keyboard warriors could see the resemblance and make those wrong assumptions. It's funny when you get irritated by comments... Just don't treat all of us the same, pls. Not _everybody_ told you that you were doing something wrong. I'm curious about what those people thought should be cut with that cutter if it's not for copper wire... Butter?

Hey, can you please do a tips video on the best way to sharpen a fish fillet knife? I bought a Mora fillet knife with a highlighter yellow handle and 12c27 steel. I can sharpen regular pocket knives pretty well with my double sided DMT plate and some Falkniven whetstone but I find myself struggling to keep a constant angle because of how much flex the knife has. Just a request if you aren't busy with other video ideas.

Thanks for clarifying that to those in the cheap seats. Your original test was so clear that i was confused that someone wanted to "sniff actually" you😊

Lovely video. Can you make a video on restoring a distorted cutting edge? I have a knife made of cpm3v and I cut a nail with it - it distorted the edge just a tiny bit at that spot. Could I make it flatter again using a carbide punch or a carbide hammer?

Try cutters/ crimpers that are anvil and wedge. Mine are blu point from the snap on truck.

Quite a decent gaggle of knowledgeable people on this thread. Very refreshing. To add my tuppence worth then I would say that the problem with the internet is that is usually (not always, mind) infested with people who don't know what they are doing and will put a lot of effort into letting you know it. The people who actually know what they're doing are busy - well - doing it.

Knipex for professional, klein for the boys.

The old pliers look to have a thicker steel and taller above the cutting edge too, which adds stiffness. The added stiffness and better made and treated steal makes a huge difference.

The numbered threaded screw holes have always been for trimming machine screws. I guess some people just can’t take a hint.

Wow. I'm more shocked how most people just know they are right and everyone else is wrong!? I actually went to school for electricity in 2003 and you are completely right

Huh, I was sitting thinking to myself "oh this portion will probably talk about the of the blade and whether or not it had any effect on efficacy." I guess I was the only person wondering that when I saw the most effective cutters in the last video appeared to be the only ones with inward curving blades vs. all the other ones having straight blades.

@outdoors55 could you tell me what the name brand of the old cutters are? Thanks

Not surprised at all. In my area, watchmaking, vintage tools even after decades of use are better than new.

I gotta lot of experience with wire strippers. I would like you to try the Ideal brand stripper. I like those the best. Have not tried the Knippex though.

Project Farm just did a comparison of end cutters, and the Knipex brand absolutely demolished the competition, even being able to cut an allen key. Maybe they make good wire cutters as wel, you should try one.

Hey, I was having a debate with Neeves Knives about whether or not a whetstone refers to only the ceramic stones that need to be soaked. and that splash and go stones such as resin bonded diamond stones aren't referred to as whetstones. Can you just confirm that diamond sharpening stones that don't need to be soaked are also whetstones.

The 'solid' and 'stranded' markings refer to the stripping jaw sizes. What's AWG anyway? Back in the UK it used to be SWG, but cable sizes are in mm now. . . . P.S. I'm not right very often and then I'm usually wrong. Great video 👍
