Knipex
KNIPEX’s new Dismantling Tool (product number 16 30 145) provides stress free cable stripping, with the ability to quickly dismantle round cable sheaths without fuss. The plier specialist’s latest launch is ideal for dismantling round cable sheaths made of PVC, rubber, silicone or PTFE from 19mm to 40mm in diameter. It has a self‐tightening holding lever and a knurled nut to easily adjust cutting depth so it’s simple to easily strip the outer sheath without touching the inner core. The tool can be used for longitudinal cutting by simply turning the tool body by 90° to move from circular cutting to longitudinal splitting.
The spiral cutting function, activated by simple stretching of the tools body, also allows the removal of intermediate pieces. There is no need to worry about dropping the device either, as the housing is plastic and impact proof. Lightweight at just 140g, every tool comes with a replaceable blade. KNIPEX has been manufacturing pliers and associated tools for over 130 years.

Roughneck
Roughneck’s Gorilla Block Buster Bolster cuts blocks and bricks, promising a true step change in how chasing out channels for services and removing exterior render and floor and wall tiles. It has been developed with the help of bricklayer‐turned‐inventor, Kevin O'Brien and will be available exclusively across the world from Olympia Tools.
Compared to existing, conventional bolsters, the Gorilla Block Buster Bolster offers significant gains in terms of speed and efficiency, enabling users to cut blocks and bricks with a single strike. It also offers major improvements in safety and accuracy. Like all the products positioned under the Roughneck Gorilla brand, the Roughneck Gorilla Block Buster Bolster owes its exceptional performance to a design where ‘the shape makes the difference'. Specifically, the new tool has a longer than usual blade which measures 230mm / 9 inches ‐ the same width as a building block.
It's this greater length, combined with the blade's construction from hardened and tempered steel and the fact that the blade can be regularly sharpened, which help the Gorilla Block Buster Bolster to cut though blocks and bricks with a single strike. In addition, the tool's ‘one strike, straight through' capability is further enhanced by the positioning of the tool's handle. This handle, which features a soft, treble injected, ergonomic grip for comfortable use, is offset, away from the striking face. This enables a large striking anvil to be placed on the top of the blade and allows users to hit the tool with as much force as possible with their hand positioned safely out of the way, clear of any potential mis‐strikes.
The Gorilla Block Buster Bolster also helps to simplify the task of cutting angled block or brick faces for gables and corners.
