Haydon Young I worked for in the 80's, I think it was Army Base near Salsbury, but N.G.Bailey were bigger and better to work for.

Here's my preferred stripper, home made knife and ladle for lead lugging.

Blimey Steve .. I thought I was looking at the Staffordshire Saxon Hoard till I opened the pic up !!!!

Joiststrippers I could never get on with TBH but that hack knife brings back memories , have one just like it .

I have a joistripper,

spot on for the smaller stuff, TBH I never done very much with bigger stuff anyway,

but what was the other one that was a just about fitted everything one called?

You talking about the blue handle with thumb screw on the front and cutting wheel.

Always started binding when the powder got in between the jaws.

Thats why I call my Stripping Bar a " Universal" . I dumped all the others years ago , especially the one where you screw the appropriate gland into the tool, then spend the rest of your life adjusting the cutting blade .
