Looking for an older style cable ripper for Romex - 07/27/02 03:03 AM
For the last few months I have been searching for an older style cable ripper. They used to be used by a number of the residential guys about 20 years ago. I even bought one about 4 years ago in a local supply house. (Someone decided they needed it more thn I did) I can't even locate a picture of one so I'll try and describe it.
Here goes: it was about 4'' long and offset, each end had 2 triangular razor blades on opposite sides the sides were curved so that the blade would not stick out passed the edges. I think one end would do 14-2 and 12-2. The other would do 3 wire on one side and 10-2 on the other. To use it all you had to do was lay the wire in it put your thumb over it and run it down the wire.
I always thought it was a real time saver
If anyone happens to know the manufacturers name, a source to buy them and email me I would really appreciate it.
Or...
Does any one even have one they could take a picture of and email it?
Thanks,
