How to use the Dimart (SACS) SWA Armoured Cable cutting and stripping Tool for electricians

Unbelievable! The worst electrical installation from an electrician I have ever seen.

Unbelievable! That's what I thought when I opened up this old one way fuse box.

The new Dimart SWA Steel Armoured Cable Stripping tool ( SACS )

Martin, The owner of the Dimart swa armoured cable stripping tool, SACS, kindly sent me his new product for quickly and easily stripping and preparing an armoured cable to try out. To be honest I was a little apprehensive at first as I thought that this is just another tool on the market along with others already there. I could not have been more wrong about this!
