Get one of these. Damn sight easier than faffing about with junior hacksaws and a knife.

I was tempted, but watching videos with people using them, they genuinely didn’t seem quicker than the junior hacksaw and knife method. And we do that many a day that you get pretty quick at it. Also never actually seen them used on site.
Been waiting to see one in the flesh. They’re £30-40 after all! And concerned about how long the blade will last. It’s only small, and considering the rate I go through junior hacksaw blades, I think it could get expensive considering the abuse it’d get.The Knipex ergo strip is an absolute godsend for stripping flex - the sheath in particular.

Definitely very similar kit in my full toolbox - megger and testing kit, and more general hand tools.
But at the moment, 90% of my work is installing and making off armoured cables, and installing luminaries and power line on arctic flex. Rarely need more than about 5 or 6 hand tools. Don’t even carry a drill around with me most of the time.
