Hi Scott,

Seems funny that you'd walk all the way to the truck for a red-head, but not 3ft for your RotoSplit.

Fair question [Linked Image] to me it is a non issue, I was brought into the trade using a hacksaw, I was taught to use a hacksaw for this in trade school (1981).

I do not know of anytime I have hit the conductors, (a thumb, the back of my hand [Linked Image])I have seen Rotosplits hit copper.

When using Rotos the armor is held straight, when I use a hacksaw I put a good bend in the cable forcing the conductors away from the cut.

Most of the new guys do not even know it can be done with a hack saw and are surprised when I am faster with my saw.

So what I am trying to say is, I like to use Redheads no matter how I strip the armor but I will strip the armor anyway I can and feel good about it. [Linked Image]

Unless they change the rules. [Linked Image]
