If in the garage, at home or in the workshop you often have to work with electric wires, you will definitely need a homemade universal knife for quickly removing insulation. Moreover, it can be made from improvised materials.
This home-made device is useful to everyone who directly or indirectly encounters an electrician, including in a car.
The first step is to cut a small piece of a square profile pipe with a cross section of 15 * 15 mm and a piece of steel bar with a diameter of 6 mm. And still it will be necessary to find four nuts M8.
The main stages of work
And first you need to give the steel bar the desired shape. To do this, the master clamps the bar in a bench vise and bends in the middle. The result should be a U-shaped part.
On each side of the bar, it will be necessary to put on two nuts, which then will need to be welded to the body of the universal knife (profile pipe).
Then, an M10 hex nut is welded to the end of the profile. Then, in the center of the stud, drill a hole. A chip of metal drill is inserted into it. And then from this drill it will be necessary to make a cutter.
And at the last stage, you will only need to assemble the device from the prepared parts.
The result was a homemade universal knife for quick stripping of wires. For more information on how to make this tool, see the video on the site.
