pretty much but this is a cool gadget to have.It's like a tube that opens and closes over the cable.Then you just turn it and pull off insulation.

Alot quicker than a pen knife

I think you will find that that curtain wire stuff is the same as the ones that come on a reel? (windup)

MM sounds good - I thought the whole idea of the 200 gold was the fact you didnt need a penknife as this can damage the insulation on the inner conductors? - so Gently using a pair of side cutters would damge the cable less when used correctly - I think maybe ive been tought wrong on the FP200Gold then LOL - back to the drawing board for me I think regarding this stuff

Dave,

You are probably right.I don't use FP Gold but Ventcroft,which the tool is very handy for.

If you have been instructed this way by Pirelli instructions you should be ok.

I got some of them cable quick rods from screw fix last week.

Should have got them years ago as they have saved that much time already.

Good tackle arn't they mate, well worth it.

Try the Smart Strip - little red plastic jobby with an adjustable blade from CPC or CEF etc about a tenner and well worth it. Excellent for FP cable.

No, and sort of. I've used CK drivers for a while, I like 'em. Quality's good and I've got a few in my tool box.
