Jonard Tools Mid-Span Slitter

I am what you call a novice fiber splicer, but I do coordinate a lot of production splicers. We have probably ran into every kind of fiber manufacturer out there. I am continuously borrowing out this tool to production splicers because they don't ever seem to have the correct mid sheath tool which can cost upward of 1000.00 dollars or more. My biggest problem with this tool seem to be getting it back from the production splicers before they leave town.The only problem I have had is sometimes the latch will pop open, I'm sure this is because of the way I'm holding it. Anyhow for the price no splicer should be without it because it sure can come in handy. Just make sure the tube is snug but slides smoothly and apply continuous pressure while holding the tool closed, 34;don't trust the latch34;.

Works as expected

Sometimes the tool does not split the tubes. It could be irregularities in the tube side but its hard to tell. I like that you can change blades when they wear out.

Great tool. Relieved quicker than estimated delivery date!

I sure wish we had this when we built our daughter's house a few years ago. My husband did the wiring and I remember how hard it was on the hands splitting those wires. We are remodeling at the moment so he was glad to see this and it works so well. No pain to the hands and done in an instant. I'm sure it was probably made for the fiber optic lines but it works as well for do it yourselves people like us. Very nice and has a lifetime warranty.

Small, very well made and durable. Designed to strip the buffer tubes off of fiber optic cables. I've been using it for the past couple of weeks and it's been working flawlessly. Blades are very sharp and do a great job.
