Knipex Ergostrip Cable Stripping Tool Review

[@andywalsh30]

Got one of these a couple of months ago. The amount of time it has saved me is unbelievable. Love using it on heating systems and thermostats. 👏👏👏👍

[@Tools4Sparks]

Yeah they are a life saver!

[@GiffordsElectrical]

I’ve had mine for over a month and was using daily. Great tool 👍

[@deanpaterson301]

Got one by accident thinking it was for flat cable (there is another for T&E) was going to send it back but actually use it loads for flex and coax. Worth the money 💰 good review 👌🏼

[@stevecraft00]

It just suggested this video to me. This tool is perfect for fp200. I had been fannying about with a knife, never knowing how much force to apply. This tool makes it so easy. Gentle squeeze, quick twist and it snaps the outer sheath. Amazing.

[@jamiecullen9075]

I also use it for FP200, my work pals never seen the ergo strip before but it makes working with any data cable and FP200 cable easy

[@dang8795]

Such a handy tool! Makes stripping old tails down for scrap a load easier too. Only issue I had was with the scoring blade which worked loose after I applied too much pressure when stripping thick insulation. Bit of super glue did the trick though 😂

[@Tools4Sparks]

Nice thanks

[@rayc1503]

I've use my ergostrip often enough. Great bit of kit definitely worth the money. There are left and right handed versions available. The backend of the tool is for co-ax cable.

[@maliklindo10]

I've purchased one of these this week due to me doing a lot of fp200 lately and flex , I was told it's good for flat cable but it's not still a great product

[@WMartinNI]

Does it fit well on FP? I've been using a Jokari on FP for years but it's getting a bit tired and will be looking to replace it soon.

@@gadgetman36 thanks for the reply

[@jaessak3463]

Hi Jordan, I am thinking of buy this striping tool but it can not do flat twin and earth cables. It's only for round cables. Is there any tool that does both round and flat cables all 2 in one please?

[@DawidhabdArup_N7]

Brilliant Gadget. Just watched the Crimper you reviewed and now this. Thank you for sharing as I try to do on mine. I believe "Our World is a Shared Experience". Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* ... 🖖🖖🖖 By the way, your audio in the video a bit low. Perhaps, your new one has improved. Take care my friend...

[@aldobongers807]

one BIG TIP from the factory - only press on the blue thumb point when stripping as it uses the flex of the to work perfectly.

[@it02s28]

Does it work just as well with flat cables such as 3 core ?

[@02phenom]

Would this be handy for HVAC?

Good review mister! I also thinking to buy this little thing!

[@JSSHandP]

Sold. I will be buying one today

[@Tools4Sparks]

Awesome!

[@mikeenglish1492]

These reviews are excellent 👍

[@Tools4Sparks]

Thanks so much!

[@ryansidhu4074]

For SWA it's an amazing bit of kit

[@Tools4Sparks]

I agree!

[@bentoseland5806]

As in stripping the sheath off or?

[@simonmuggleton4688]

Try using a Cyclops stripping tools see what you think .

[@zedman442]

Are the blades changeable? How long would it last?

[@Tools4Sparks]

Yeah I think they are

[@NicoleBritnell]

I had one of these, used it for a good while but then the blade on the side fell out, one of my favourite features so was pretty disappointed.

[@michaeldoyle663]

Will this get the outer sheath off sy?

[@g.t.36]

Them knipex are great

[@Tools4Sparks]

Yeah lovely bit of kit!

[@MrSJT]

Can you get replacement blades or do need to buy a new one when it gets blunt?

[@Tools4Sparks]

Not sure...

[@MrSJT]

@@Tools4Sparks needed to ask coz its nearly 40quid in amazon

[@g.t.36]

@@MrSJT shop around. I paid £ 25. About 5 months ago.

[@MrSJT]

@@g.t.36 might have something to do with lockdown and less competition etc. I will check when I'm back at work around June 😏

[@g.t.36]

@@MrSJT I'll have a look. And try and put a link on here

[@NoisyBadAss]

Are the blades changeable? I mean if one worn out, because you use it often, you should buy a new tool, or you can change them?

[@Tools4Sparks]

No they aren’t but they last a long time

[@wayneedwards1418]

😂at last I've got it already before you make me spend my hard earnt money 👍

[@Tools4Sparks]

whew 😅

[@arthurdaley895]

Not great for left handers I'm guessing. Shame as I would like one.

[@zacharydummpfiff9837]

There is a version for left handed people, too. No. 16 95 02.

[@chazvirdee2012]

Hey I always love your videos please do more tool reviews. Can this be used to strip 25mm tails ??

[@Tools4Sparks]

Thanks! Yes it can

[@steveonimac]

Best thing is they do a Left handed version

[@callumBee]

Would love to know how well this works on h07rn-f. So far anything I have used to strip it has struggled to do it neatly and quickly.

[@Tools4Sparks]

I think it would work fine on H07

[@sammatthews4823]

Hmm great idea and works well but doesn’t last long.

[@sparx2391]

Good for stripping the sheathing off.,but I wouldn't use it to strip the cores, quicker with side cutters

[@alexdougherty4905]

Use mine everyday pretty much.

[@Tools4Sparks]

Nice

[@carforumwanker]

Jokari no14 is a LOT better
