Review: It’s sharp - Not used it yet so will come back to the review later on
Review: Do not buy - Bought this for stripping cable. Absolutely blunt and literally cannot strip at all, tried by 4 different electricians and no one could get this thing to work as intended. Useless and a waste of money, looks like a good idea but very blunt as I said. Might aswell try using a spoon
