SACS Tool – Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) Cable Stripping Tool
After 30 years of working as an electrician, Martin Barrett designed the SACS® Tool to solve the challenges of SWA cable stripping. He spent years glanding SWA cables with hacksaws and utility knives. This experience highlighted the need for a safer, faster and more reliable alternative. The result is an innovative stripping tool that improves safety, increases productivity and delivers consistent results on every installation.
As Health & Safety regulations have become more stringent, many contractors now restrict or prohibit blades and cable knives on-site. The SACS Tool provides a safer alternative for electricians. It helps them strip SWA cable quickly while reducing the risk of injury and accidental cable damage. Its straightforward five-step process makes cable preparation simple, accurate and repeatable.
The process begins by making precise rotary and longitudinal cuts through the outer insulation and steel armour. The outer sheath is then removed, allowing the steel strands to be separated easily. The tool then removes the secondary insulation layer using the same controlled cutting process. Finally, the insulation is split and removed to expose the conductors. This simple five-step method delivers clean, accurate and repeatable cable preparation every time.
E-Tech Components is proud to be the UK distributor for the SACS Tool Stripper. We help electrical contractors and installers improve workplace safety while making SWA cable preparation faster, easier and more efficient.
