Common questions
Is it insulated for electrical work?
No. It has no insulation rating and is not listed for live work. The wood handle gives no protection. Kill the power, lock it out and test first.
Will it strip Romex?
Yes, by ringing and slitting. A dedicated NM ripper is faster and safer for repeated stripping.
Why not a utility knife?
The rigid, maintained edge gives feel and depth control. Use whichever edge you will keep sharp.
How long is the blade?
The catalog and listing title disagree: 3-1/4" or 1-3/8".
