Cable shear style cutters like those are great for single 6/8awg and really shine for cutting multiple 12awg or smaller at the same time. Once you get into larger wires you'll find that ratcheting cable cutters even the cheapest ones will be far easier to use for larger cables and even cutting armored cable(aluminum, nothing with steel).
I found it funny that the “Instagram” on the back of the package is spelled “Instaglam”. It appears they fixed the typo on later packaging, and the package shown on the video was indeed a genuine Fujiya.
Hey! I absolutely love your videos. Thanks a lot for all the effort you put in 👍
Just one word about the bigger Knipex in this video. According to Knipex you should cut thick cables in two steps:
1:
Precut the cable with the outer part.
2:
Move the cable to the inner part and cut it completely.
I have no idea if it will work better because I've never tested that particular cutter.
Looking forward for more of your videos 😉
Greetings from Switzerland.
the VDE version, 95 16 200, works fine either for one step cut or two steps for bigger cables. 😽👌
Nice video, Ive bought many tools Ive seen on this channel.
My friend, Keiba should be pronounced "kay-ba". Japanese is pronounced similarly to Spanish in regard to vowels.
Thank you. I didn't know that.
@@bzeug Always happy to help. I'm glad you are showing some japanese brands! I love the workmanship from Japan, and I want to know what I'm buying, but there are almost no videos on japanese tools.
@@wesleythompson451 try ChrisCas Tool Aficionado channel to get a taste. 😉
Great video, well done. I have the knipex cable cutter but VDE (video in my channel), it's fantastic. I liked that Fujiya because of its size and its jaws. Greetings from Argentina. I am electrician!
КРУТО 🙌
Better save your Yens up to afford those Korukin cutters. ..or over seventy dollars on Ebay. Ouch, but very nice. A luxury tool.
For cutting cables with multiple conductors, my favorite are the Knipex StepCut 95 18 160. They require notably less force than others I've tried.
Will the Kurokins cut 8 ga solid copper?
Dont see why not, you can cut it with dikes relatively easy, but id imagine itd be easier with these
Do you know if these pliers are insulated to 1000v? I can’t find the information anywhere or even if they’re insulated at all
I don't know definitely, but these handles are just a basic compound and I can't imagine they have much insulating capability at all.
I just checked the info card from the original packaging and there is nothing remotely related to insulating, they call out the handle only as easy to grip and easy to apply force. Nothing about insulating properties.
@@bzeugNo they are not insulated. Fujiya doesn't have any insulated pliers on their Japanese line up.
They have a model line up who is, and by their own words on the website: "Made to withstand up to 1000V (AC)."
That lineup of pliers have a dual compound grip layer in blue outside and yellow inside. When the yellow is shown it means that the grip is damaged and the pliers should be discarded/replaced.
But then again in the website, and again by their words: "Note: These aren't insulated".
So yes, they don't have an insulated set that complies with the IEC 60900 standard, or at least they didn't applied for their pliers to be tested under such standard.
Which is a shame, specially in this Kurokin finish it would be a game changer: A blackout, with a hint of gold, VDE set.
Note that most of the time a VDE set, being screwdrivers, pliers or channellocks, are used in non energised tasks (after proper lockout/tagout procedures were taken) for piece of mind and extra insurance in case some circuit is still live somewhere so I recon if you know what you are doing and the task itself is certain to be in an non energised environment (rough installation on a new house for example or a full installation from meter box to wall outlet in a non service connected/meter installed job) it could save your good and expensive VDE set for more important energised tasks.
But again at the price of this pliers, almost reaching equivalent of VDE counterparts, did it really render them to be used in such situations if you already own a VDE set?
Wiha is the best
Why people say kenipex, instead of knipex?😁 It is not right to compare used tools with brand new.
