What is an "electrician's knife"?
An electrician's knife is a specialized tool used by electricians for cutting, stripping, and shaping wires and cables. It has a sharp, pointed blade designed to make precise cuts in insulation without damaging the wire inside. The handle is typically ergonomic, providing a comfortable grip during use. Some electrician's knives feature a retractable blade for safety, and others may include a small hook or notch for scoring or stripping insulation. This tool is commonly used in electrical work, especially when preparing wires for connections or installations.
