A simple tool for stripping the hands - an overview
This review will introduce you to a simple invention, which can be made with your own hands. Quite often I have when working with the wires have to strip a wire or even remove the insulation from the long sections of wire. (How does this work will show at the end)
As a rule, before I used the most simple for this purpose tool - ordinary office knife. But the author proposed a fairly simple thing that interested me.
On a review tool for removing electrical insulation of their own hands. Let's start?
Idea
Grade 5 of 5
As I wrote at the beginning, I was really quite often have to deal with various kinds of wires.
We have to be cut, cleaned, and sometimes remove insulation with a fairly long sections of wire. If cutting and stripping of special problems did not arise, the insulation removal gave a lot of problems.
Remove electrical isolation without the express tool quite uncomfortable and even traumatic.
Stripping before I used writing knife, but often cut the cable itself, which had to be thrown out.
The author also offers a fairly simple way to do this tooltheir own hands. The idea, to be honest, it is very amusing! Maximum points!
Design
Evaluation 4 of 5
tool design is very simple. The author of this invention uses a small metal plate folded in two. Place fold compress on a round mandrel to impart the desired diameter.
To give the necessary rigidity one side of the handle boil. In the middle of the handle is made an oval hole, which with a normal bolt and nut attached on stationery knife blade. Moving the fastener along the oval hole, it is possible to regulate the length of the cutting part. Needless blade can be replaced quickly.
In general, the author has made very effective, easy to use and secure tool.
4 points I set because this tool can be used to wire a certain diameter, that is, it can not be called universal. And besides, not everyone has a welding machine to handle boil.
Design

The tool has been painted, which gave it an aesthetic appearance. But she handle remained unchanged.
I have rounded corners handle, so as not to be injured.
analogs
Grade 5 of 5
Analogues of this device certainly exist. This cable knife, pliers and special, but it is worth the money and which are not small.
For example, the easiest cable knife will cost you about 800 rubles. special tongs will cost 1500 rubles., and more.
Given the relatively large value of the firm toolAnd if you do not often work with wires, it makes sense to make such a tool their own hands. For cost-effective solution author receives 5 out of 5 points.
Total
Grade 18 20
