not at all, we're on about cutting the inner cores, not the armour no? so you gland it off then cut the core higher up at termination level, i prefer not to bend ally cores more than is neccesary as they lose their shape making it difficult to get lugs on.

and for those that doubt me having tools then crack on, i know what i have and yes i am well paid for an apprentice, due to working away from home every week, i like to make my job as easy as possible. and i cant stand cutting >95 copper with a kacksaw

if you only work with 1 type of cable it seems sensible to have the righ tools.
