Rack-A-Tiers 47010 V-Cutter NMSC Cable Stripper

Game changer and so easy to use! Put this on my Crocs strippers and they work well for both smaller romex and bigger romex (SEU/SER). So well that co-workers will ask to borrow them all the time when tying in panels to save time & I have to go retrieve them to make sure I get them back…lol. Now they don’t work on UF, so don’t get too crazy. The best method I’ve found for UF is using a knife (my Spiderco Para 2 in S30V works much better than a razor knife. Better steel & geometry) to cut along the ground about 3-4 inches then taking 2 pair of lineman pliers & pulling apart to desired length, then pull out the ground and slightly score the outer jacket of the hot & neutral, take your lineman’s just below your score and twist to break the score then twist and pull the outer jacket off. Minimizes cuts to your hands, shorts from going through the insulation exposing copper on the hot/neutral & getting yelled at by your foreman because he’s gotta go trace down a short. You’re welcome noobs.

Stellar product. Such a big help for when people don’t strip the wire before stuffing the box. I’ll buy this again in a heartbeat.

I install these on all my strippers. Been using them for years. Weather is out them on rackatier strippers or the new vessels I recentley started using. Even can be installed on knipex pliers but you have to want it and drill your own hole.

This is a nice little add on tool, that comes in handy, but it is not very universal. It only fits the cheaper wire strippers. It attaches with a nut and bolt, so the hole in the strippers must align with the tools hole because you can not drill your own hole in the harden steel of the strippers. The better idea would have if they made it attach with set screws or made the hole slotted to make it more universal.

Took a long time to figure out how to properly use them but once the technique is down these are a game changer for SO and MC cable.

This works great stripping Romex! First time wiring 200 amp panel as DYI for residential running all new on small new home. Not worried about cutting into wires with knife and can strip all 6/3 to 14/2 no issue good product!

I have been an electrician for 10 years now and I am always looking for tools to make my job easier and quicker. This is definitely not it! I used it twice and got frustrated with it. You have to hold it a certain way to make it cut just right. I may have not used it enough to get used to it, but I am not going to waste my time trying to. After all is said and done, I left it on my strippers and just used my strippers without using the vcutter. After a few days I realized the blade had fell out too. What great quality! So if your on the edge about getting one, just use your utility knife. You will get better results and lot less frustration!

This works just like the video. Unfortunately it did not fit on my favourite klein strippers but it does fit on another pair of klein strippers I had.

Handy if you do lots of residential

I wish I bought those sooner..

Works like it says. Edges are a little sharp otherwise it’s 5 stars

such a handy little mod
