Popularity : 2468What is an ‘Electrician Knife’?
The electrician knife is a wire and cable stripping or cutting tool that often used, especially for electricians, in house holding, electrical repairing and construction industry.
The sheath of the wire should be removed completely before attaching the adapter, and avoid the wire from being damaged by the edge of the knife while cutting or stripping.
The parts of electric knife can be divided into the blade, the edge, the grip and the hanging hole. It is noticeably that the blade should be able to shrink into the grip when the knife is off duty, and the edge should be well sharpened in order to strip the cable easily and efficiently.
