This looks like it's going to be flimsy and the sort of tool you use once and then put away never to see the light of day again. In reality it's sturdier than it looks and a good piece of design. Open the catch on the back, insert the cable to the required length, close the sides together, twist and pull and the insulation comes away cleanly. There are a couple of ports in the end for stripping the insulation off of conductor ends, one for 15mm and one for 25mm, though you can easily adapt these to strip off the amount you need. My only gripe is the little plastic depth stop for stripping the core insulation. It slides in and out but if you're not careful it's easy to slide it out a bit too far and drop it. Fortunately I found it but on some sites ............... It's a lightweight tool that weighs only an ounce or so (few grams if you're modern) so it's easy to slip in your pocket and you'll not notice you've got it, but it's a handy little tool when you need it. I've only used it on round cables but I guess you could probably get it to work on a flat cable too. Now I've got one I wouldn't want to be without it.Read full review

Great for stripping flex and data especially in tight spaces. Fits in my tool belt as it's very compact and we'll designed. Also good for most types of cable but best on round cables.

Dead easy to use, with practice you can even use it one handed, do all the work without putting this down. Tough and hardwearing, good value for money and doesn't get tangled up with other tools in your bag.

Simple design makes it easy to use. Great size means it can live in your pocket making it very convenient. Go easy with the flex stripper however as too much pressure results in damage to inner cores.

This gadget is a real must, not only for the DIYer' but as a tradesman too. It really is a good quality cable trimmer, its sharp, accurate and well designed. I bought this as recommended by our heating engineer, and he wasn't wrong! Top marks to Jokara!
