Tight Spots and Copper Wire

Let’s briefly look at the cutting needs of an electrician. Knife uses will vary, but one task that every electrician will have to perform is cutting wire insulation, as demonstrated in the video above. There is no single knife model used by electricians. They use the knife that best fits their needs, which may change from job to job. So when choosing the best electrician’s knife, it will largely depend on personal preference and the demands of the task at hand. Add to quote” – this option allows to you gather items together and ask us for a no obligation quote. We’ll do our best to improve our already competitive prices where possible. Most blades are initially dangerously sharp; this holds true for metal blades and other ceramic blades. In fact, most other ceramic blades are sharper than metal blades.

Safety is an important aspect of an electrician’s day-to-day work. In fact, it can be the difference between getting to continue the job or not. With a safer electrician’s knife, you can help extend your injury-free days and your career. Our goal is to provide one stop place for electricians and electrical contractors, but we are happy to help other clients too. The folding knife is a fixed-blade tool: open it to expose the blade, and close it for safe blade storage within the base of the handle. A finger-ring at the pivot point makes for easy storage and a convenient place to grab when retrieving the knife from a tool belt. For deep cuts, look to one of our industrial knives. These tools handle like the Manual Utility Knife. Both tools provide several cutting depths to choose from. The Industrial Knife, however, exposes the blade up to a depth of 76 millimeters, while the maximum depth on the utility knife is 22 millimeters.
