Product Description

Cutting carpet, drywall, nylon rope and asphalt shingles requires the right tool for the job; so does cutting, stripping and crimping wire for that matter. You can forget about those old utility knives with hard to grip holders and cheap blades that dull and break after only a couple uses, and forget about buying a separate wire stripping tool. The RAPID TOOLS RAPID SHARK Heavy-duty Combination Utility Knife is two tools in one, a utility knife and a wire cutter/stripper/crimper. It features rugged, professional-grade construction with a comfortable ergonomic grip. It uses RAPID TOOLS own patented RAPID EDGE serrated blades that are built to last. The blades withstand longer use because the cutting friction is handled by five individual cutting surfaces; other blades only have one straight edge. Slide'n'Lock technology allows you to adjust the amount of the blade that is exposed for precise cutting. Extra blades can be stored within the holder and a quick change design allows you to efficiently remove an old blade and replace it with a new one. When you're ready to work with wire, a spring-loaded wire cutter opens easily and cuts comfortably, which locks securely into the body of the knife when your done. The precision ground stripping holes easily remove insulation from thick 10 to 18 gauge wires. Whether you're a casual DIYer or a professional, this tool is a must-have for everyone; it will assist you in getting the job done faster, safer and easier.

Customer Reviews

Great tool for electrical work
This is a great "all in one" tool for electrical work. It eliminates the need to carry both a knife AND wire stripper and then having to alternate between the two, often when in a position where it's clumsy to do so. I highly recommend this tool. I first saw it recommended in a recent issue of Home Handyman magazine, where it also received an excellent review.

A hit
I was watching Cool Tools and this product came on and I thought my son would really like it.. Several days before Christmas, we were watching a repeat of the program and it came on and my son said 'wow .. that looks really neat' .. It was a big hit for Christmas.. and very useful for him as a network geek and handyman..

Cool Tool
I've used this a couple of times its nice instead of grabbing two tools for the job. Feels like it should last. First tool I've seen in a long time that is a new idea and works great.
