Is stripping twisted pair with side cutters the new normal?

Question

Cables and wires

Good day. I recently went to the installers of networks, crimping was needed.
I took it, and in it a knife that cuts the insulation on the cable is broken. I ask for another, they explain that there is no other, and they are used to doing all the work on stripping the insulation of a twisted pair with side cutters. Crimp only crimp.
Not kidding, they really do work. I can do that too, but very slowly and I don't like it. Probably the installer's hand is full ...
But I never get tired of being surprised at such work - after all, whatever one may say, it's a hack. Or am I such a crab that can use side cutters and a screwdriver, but still prefers to work with a normal crimp?

Answer 1

If they clean it so that the veins are not damaged, then what is the problem?
By the way, I came across crimps, where exactly this “special” knife cut a couple of veins at a time, after which it began to be cleaned with an ordinary mounting knife with the obligatory visual control “did it hurt it”.

Answer 2

and I use this for this business,
I once saw it on the radio market.

Answer 3

You are a crab =)
And the installers are hacks, but this does not bother anyone, as long as it is correctly compressed and the Internet runs.

Answer 4

I never do this, I run in 4 actions with special tongs with all the knives.
He bit off, cleaned it with one knife
, distributed it with the second knife
, put
it in.
There were practically no accidentally cut cables, sometimes there were cuts, but you just have to get used to it.

Answer 5

Well, at home, when there is no reason to spend 500..700 rubles on crimping, I have always used and still use a regular clerical knife for stripping wires and pliers + a screwdriver for crimping. Everything is working.
But, of course, if this case is on stream, there is nowhere without crimping.

Answer 6

You still ask how many millimeters they clear, and then suddenly more than 12.5 ...
Maybe they don’t get money, so the poor toil.

Answer 7

Well, they float, there are such crimps and they have not gone away. But for speed it is really sometimes more convenient to use special knives like these www.ulmart.ru/goods/164722/ although I have seen more convenient and simpler models.

Answer 8

Just think: on Instagram, when the mesh was being restored at the pulpit after a fire, they were generally crimped with a screwdriver ...
I got fed up with it then and I bought myself some pliers.
Then my father sowed them on a business trip.
I bought new ones.
… And I forgot to TAKE them on a business trip! Ended up buying another one.
And my father bought separate ones for work.
So it’s better to keep ticks with a margin, but at work - hide them from colleagues and give them to your hands only for one-time promotions!
... And then they will either sow or break!
