Carl Kammerling International has launched an innovative new Steel Wired Armoured (SWA) cable stripper, designed to speed up the process of SWA cable termination for installers.

On first impressions, the blades appear to be very temperamental, needing to be replaced with every other use. The set comes with five blades included already, which will be very useful if you are cutting SWA regularly. The tool is made from robust, solid metal alloy and has a wide clamp, which ensures blade and cable alignment and a strong grip. The new, simpler A-G energy rating scale is stricter and designed so that very few products are initially expected to achieve the top “A” rating. This cable calculator is set for Installation method C (Clipped Direct), for cable types BS5467 and BS6724The new C.K armourslice ‘strips away the hassle’ of preparing SWA cable for electricians, allowing the job to be done up to 50% faster compared with traditional methods, and ensures a perfect cut eveytime, includes free utility blade.

Carl Kammerling international has launched an innovative new steel wired armoured (SWA) cable stripper, designed to speed up the process of SWA cable termination for installers.The constant pressure that it intends to apply automatic throughout the cut however isn’t strong enough. The SWA cable bends when cut because the tool hasn’t sliced through the wires enough to have it be a clean cut. This results in poor termination and curled ends when removing. You still require a Stanley knife to complete the job and strip the cables, and also when removing inner sheath. We have given this product 2 stars, based on the price, quality and purpose of the tool. For the domestic installer, it can be considered time consuming and not worth the hassle of buying an additional tool that just does one job. The new C.K ArmourSlice ‘strips away the hassle’ of preparing SWA cable for electricians, allowing the job to be done up to 50% faster compared with traditional methods, and ensures a perfect cut eveytime.

SWA (Steel wire armoured cable) and is based on the voltage drop selected at 230V single phase and 400V from your input, accurate values are essential to give you the correct cable size. The user is to ensure theThis cable calculator is to be used as a guide only; the cable sizes are worked out using information given The conventional method for stripping SWA cable is slow, cumbersome and can result in an uneven cut of the wire strands, and even possible damage to the inner conductors.

We do not sacrifice the quality of our products to keep prices down. We have seen companies start and fail by selling poor quality goods at what seem to be 'bargain' prices. We will not advertise or supply poor quality imported products just to display the lowest price.
