This tool is used very often by large electrical contractors in the mid atlantic with strict no knife safety policies. Mainly in data center construction where there are several hundred to several thousand sub 600 volt feeder terminations. It's actually very efficient if depth and length are calibrated perfectly. It allows you to be very consistent with strip lengths when using compression lugs, when the customer has a very strict tolerance on bare conductor length extending past the lug. It does nothing that you can't already do with razor knife.
Those vegetables look like they've been getting a steady dose of the blue pill fertilizer treatment... Though these days the lines between farm and pharm 'supplies' are blurrier than ever.
I bought this tool with a battery and (almost) complete die set a couple of years ago to use on a big solar panel installation. Lots of repetitive stripping to terminate 90 or so conductors. Also was great on the AC feed and service conductors. Haven't used it since, but saved a ton of labor time and made great repeatable cuts.
Having used a utility knife a manual stripping tool and a drill mounted stripper, this DeWalt tool is a wrist saver well worth the money spent on it. having to strip 36 500mcm cables for the large transfer switches weekly for the past 3 years
I have one of these at my job, but never use it because its garbage, and the DeWalt bushings are garbage (blades are dull, chews the insulation instead of cutting through it). All the DeWalt is is a Greenlee GTS-RDS or Ripley WS22A perminantly attached to a drill driver. Milwaukee has a model, but they actually innovated with their implmentation, they built the motor around the cutter, so the tool is way more compact. The Milwaukee dies are also razor sharp and cut very easily through the cable insulation. Its an impressive tool. We have modified the included busings to work with DLO cable, in the 374, 444, and 535 MCM sizes. We have also worked with Ripley Labs to have custom busings built for other cable sizes and types.
Kinda. They cut a spiral into the insulation until the cable hits the depth stop, at which point the cutter can't advance any further so parts the sprial off.
@@diltzm sometimes they should talk to the actual person that’s gonna use it. I think at its core it’s a great tool. Not something the avg residential electric chicken. I see it for the industrial development guys running main cables into a factory and distribution inside.
Awesome vid, and as a electrician who has had the option to try this tool, it leaves me lacking compared to other options. Faster then a knife on 500kcml bowden you got a bunch, sure, but the manual stripping tools you hand rotate can be too. One tool I used was a 5/16 or 3/8ths tool steel square blank with a L grind on it. You just rotate it and it scarf or spits, or whatever a curly insulation right off. A socket with q blade and a right grind on a tool bit will be much more handy for me to jam in milfuckey impactor
Its been a long time since I've seen the master bumbleforked by the tool makers. Not since the days of the rollie have there been so many giggles at the countenance of a thing.
I have owned Crafstman cordless tools for 20 years and just last fall I decided to start upgrading to DeWalt instead of the new Crafstman 20V series. I first bought(2) of the impact driver, drill, 2 battery and a charger in a DeWalt bag kit from Lowes. I was very happy with the performance. I then upgraded my garden tolls with cordless DeWalt tools, blower, string trimmer, pole chainsaw, 20v chainsaw, hedge trimmer, multi-tool, 1/2 socket impact hammer. I'm very impressed with the battery time and power of the tools! I bought a few DeWalt knockoff Chinese batteries and they are NOT worth the cost savings. The Chinese Waitly brand battery with the little battery gauge that reads in digital percent worked good but I had it on my pole chainsaw and while hanging up some bar oil dripped down the pole and ended up seeping into the battery. I picked it up to wipe it off and notice the battery was popped apart in the front screw area. Here the oil eats that cheap plastic of the cheap Chinese battery. I don't need that. I'm buying genuine DeWalt batteries from now on.
I kind of went down the same rabbit hole about 4 years ago when I decided I needed a big-boy cordless drill (ironically I bought it at Sears). Then came the cordless impact. Then the little job site blower (which I still prefer to blow away cut grass). Then the string trimmer. Then the larger higher-cfm blower for fall leaves. The string trimmer came with a used 5ah, and the big blower came with a like-new 5ah and a faster charger.
I have used these and Milwaukee's version as well. The dies can be very finicky and it can take a minute to get everything adjusted right but once you get it correct these are very useful for things like cutting in large switch gears and transformers, I would only suggest using these if your company will buy them for you but if you gotta pay just stick with the good ole razor blade
Great video as always, thank you for keeping it up & interesting :) However, looks like this tool is meant for stripping the semiconductive layer when doing high voltage terminations and splices with some consistency. You will need the right dieset for the specific cable used, as it shaves only the thin conductive outer layer on the main insulation.
It's for purple doing hundreds and hundreds of connections a week. Not for someone doing 6 wires every month. These are standard equipment on commercial jobs. Every job I've been on, the electricians are using these.
Missed ya bud. The summer fire's of your family bugging out for safety reminded me of Lassen County,CA growing up farming. Happy your back! I'm working my ass of to achieve a shop in my 30's. Appreciate your work.
I've used these for a while now at work. I was really skeptical at first but to be honest like some of the other guys have said depending on what the insulation is it can work well. I've had decent results with THHN. If you get it off center your pretty well screwed, If you have the aluminum die on the copper or vise versa you can make a mess also. There's tons of dies and it's kind of a pain changing them out for different sizes. All that being said I keep going back for more cause stripping cable with a knife all day really blows. I have not got a chance to try out the Milwaukee strippers yet but these are worth the quirks to save on the hands in my experience.
I've got three of these in my bucket truck. It's pretty decent from stripping hendrix, and isn't bad when your pulling new wire and are stripping to put new pickles on. Even works on triplex. But it is pretty useless with everything else we've got. Only really speeds it up a little. And it works up to 900.

Company bought us some of these in kit form a while back. If I remember right, the dies run from #2awg to 600 or 750 kcmil. I’ve used it on stuff in the 250-500kcm and like it for that, especially if doing several. Quite a bit faster than the razor knife I was using.

I’m currently interning (as part of my electronics apprenticeship) at a physics lab. They’ve got several automatic strippers. One is just for micro-coaxial cables. You program in the length and depth of each step for the jacket, the shielding, and the dielectric, in 0.01mm steps, and it spins and whirs and pops the cable out! I don’t even want to think how expensive that thing must be…
Cheaper than the amount of coax you go through when you're leaving it to a grad student to do by hand, particularly if length matching of the cables is important.
that sounds terrible, .1mm is not good enough for stripping wire, even thick wires like 14awg or 12 awg are 1.6 and 2 mm respectively, you can't be gouging wires by 5% and not expect consequences.
Bought one of these a couple months ago and it's still going strong. Use it for terminating new underground services. I will say though, I got the tool only on sale for about 80 petro dollars, but I already had a full set of ripley bushings which just so happened to fit it perfectly. Like another guy said on here, it's a real pita on one offs, but when making multiple connections for a new pad mount transformer it's a real time saver.
I saw a lineman pull one of these out of his bag while dealing with some 5/8" aluminum wire. Took him all of 5 seconds yo get all 4 wires of a 3 phase system stripped while leaning out of a bucket. I did the pocket knife routine to strip the other end and it took me a good two minutes each wire as I could not manipulate my way around the wire like you would with something more forgiving. Definitely not a tool for home players, but a great time saver for the elecchicken pros.
I'll let yah know, we had one of these insulation rippers at the boeing plant for a quick substation job and the boss man said it was going to improve productivity. Sure it'll do the trick but the stripping assembly cantilevering off the tool like that brought it's early demise. After only one short fall off the cart it managed to bend the die holder. It wasn't much of a productivity improver before the accident and it sure as hell wasn't much of one after. I'll keep my hawkbill thank you, and have a nice day!
Awesome concept pushed thru upper management and to market in less than a month. This one will make em a mint...then they realized you have now 2 drill motors you gots to haul up that ladder.
7:30 I've learned that with my milfwaukie impact driver and wallet, that anything longer than 5ish inches acts like an old car torsion spring. A 1/2in drive socket extension can resist twisting under impact. The peak torque an 8inch+ hex shank can't break loose much. I will say they're handy for loose bolts and getting snug before a torque wrench. For hex drive to 'impact' socket adapters the short cheap ones will take off most lugnuts, roads don't get salted here though
Klein makes a wrist powered stripper for big wire, looks like a water key. I've found them to be easier to use, and with no battery to lose, more reliable. I guess these strip further down, but I've never that capability yet. Circumcision is all that's been called for.
I've always wondered if you can trip smal wires with those plastic wire wheels. Clamp the end of the wire in between 2 rotating wire wheels and strip down the insulation.
This seems like something a master electrician would trick their apprentice into buying for a laugh. "Oh yeah, if you want to be taken seriously in this business, you are definitely going to need one of these."

If we are gonna start doing some commercial specialist minded tools...I would like to know what makes a rigid pro press tick! And why they hell the insane price tag. Seems to me it's just a battery powered hydraulic press .....why do they cost thousands? AvE needs to get on it
Given that the smaller, $2,800 version weighs 7 lbs without the jaws or battery and has loops to attach a shoulder strap I would say that it's because its a beefy little machine. And if its sold in smaller quantities there is more development cost per tool. Developing any well made product is not cheap. Also, what @TpzBla said. Cool tool though. If I could make money with it I'd buy it on Monday.
I haven't used the Rigid one, but I have used the RLS/Zoomlock (about the same price) one for refrigeration and OH BOY does it save time. The fittings are quite pricey, but being able to crimp from 1/4 to 1-5/8, in like 10s is amazing. The more pipe you run the more time you save. Plus, you don't need to lug a torch around, and you can do it where soldering is infeasible. They are stupid expensive tho, no doubt. But like any specialized tool, to the right person, they are worth the price (tho, got mine on ebay for like 1/2 price). Its probably a mix of low sales volume, and 'because they can' that they cost $$$$.
If we are wishing I would like to know why the hell the uponor/propex expander tools in 12v are 800 fuckin dollars, and why hasn't a pex ring crimping tool in 20v with a rotating and extendable head been invented? I realize the latter query is outside uncle bumblefucks area of interest, but I still want to know.

Terminate a couple hundred runs of 750 MCM using a manual stripper and you'll appreciate this puppy.
It uses Greenlee and Ripley bushings. The elec-chicken looking to ditch their 2x2 for this will have those, hence the tool-only flavor. Also available as a kit with twenty bushings in sizes ranging from "what the hell is that for" to "the ones I need are optional."

EE here, finally my time to shine. The only wire stripper "power tool" (if you can call it that) worth using is the thermal variety. Patco is a classic name. It's the only way to strip hundreds of PTFE insulated wires to the exact same dimensions in one sitting.
Yep, that is the one I used years ago building custom flash cure panels. Super clean, little effort. Best on a bench though. I am not sure I would want to use one in the "field" on a ladder.
To the peeps not knowing what these fellers are off about, it's something hot to go lookin for down through all 3 levels deep on the great gargler! Thanks for sharing, new to me tech is neat!
The Milwaukee m12 & m18 are pretty solid options, if you're working with 1/0 and bigger.
For smaller wires our shop has a Hakko thermal stripper. Not really necessary but it's awesome for doing large volume work
The thermal strippers made.by Bic work pretty well on smaller wires too.
$165 USD plus $30+ for each die. I love the idea of a custom adjustable die...
Milwaukee's is a much better design for continuous use, especially if space and/or size is a concern.

I like to think the original intent for this was to speed up circumcision in high birthrate reas. However, the medical board didn't care much for the fact that it created a masculinity complex in babies and their fathers due to the depth, therfore it was kicked down the creek, got a new coat of paint and what ya know it's now in your local big box store to you know, strip wires!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
it def would have helped the Dr with trimming my bellend for sure

This tool is used very often by large electrical contractors in the mid atlantic with strict no knife safety policies. Mainly in data center construction where there are several hundred to several thousand sub 600 volt feeder terminations. It's actually very efficient if depth and length are calibrated perfectly. It allows you to be very consistent with strip lengths when using compression lugs, when the customer has a very strict tolerance on bare conductor length extending past the lug. It does nothing that you can't already do with razor knife.
Missed your tool stuff! Glad to have more. Thanks. Hope more is coming

@@hughbrackett343 So no river water either then?
I bought this tool with a battery and (almost) complete die set a couple of years ago to use on a big solar panel installation. Lots of repetitive stripping to terminate 90 or so conductors. Also was great on the AC feed and service conductors. Haven't used it since, but saved a ton of labor time and made great repeatable cuts.
Looks like a solution looking for a problem to me.
I will always appreciate aVe's consideration for us headphone folk 💜💜💜
Having used a utility knife a manual stripping tool and a drill mounted stripper, this DeWalt tool is a wrist saver well worth the money spent on it. having to strip 36 500mcm cables for the large transfer switches weekly for the past 3 years
I can’t wait to hear a review from you about this fancy new DeWalt battery
It's just an R/C aircraft battery in a plastic box. To be honest, I'm shocked it has taken a tool company so long to make this.
I have one of these at my job, but never use it because its garbage, and the DeWalt bushings are garbage (blades are dull, chews the insulation instead of cutting through it). All the DeWalt is is a Greenlee GTS-RDS or Ripley WS22A perminantly attached to a drill driver. Milwaukee has a model, but they actually innovated with their implmentation, they built the motor around the cutter, so the tool is way more compact. The Milwaukee dies are also razor sharp and cut very easily through the cable insulation. Its an impressive tool. We have modified the included busings to work with DLO cable, in the 374, 444, and 535 MCM sizes. We have also worked with Ripley Labs to have custom busings built for other cable sizes and types.
Been awhile since a BOLTR. Happy to see it bother me when my phone made annoying noises. Haha. Take care everyone
Great to have a new BOLTR to stir the soul - thank you sir!
These videos are my absolute favorite! Thank you AvE!
I have not seen one of these before, is this the equivalent of a barrel pencil sharpener put into the chuck of a drill to peel insulation?
Kinda. They cut a spiral into the insulation until the cable hits the depth stop, at which point the cutter can't advance any further so parts the sprial off.
exactly ,Sir....exactly!!!!!
I think they would do well to just sell the fixture separately.
@@bigmikeh5827 Exactly. It would be much easier to just throw attachment version in your tool bag instead of lugging around an extra driver.
@@diltzm sometimes they should talk to the actual person that’s gonna use it. I think at its core it’s a great tool. Not something the avg residential electric chicken. I see it for the industrial development guys running main cables into a factory and distribution inside.
Awesome vid, and as a electrician who has had the option to try this tool, it leaves me lacking compared to other options.
Faster then a knife on 500kcml bowden you got a bunch, sure, but the manual stripping tools you hand rotate can be too.
One tool I used was a 5/16 or 3/8ths tool steel square blank with a L grind on it. You just rotate it and it scarf or spits, or whatever a curly insulation right off.
A socket with q blade and a right grind on a tool bit will be much more handy for me to jam in milfuckey impactor

Its been a long time since I've seen the master bumbleforked by the tool makers. Not since the days of the rollie have there been so many giggles at the countenance of a thing.
I have owned Crafstman cordless tools for 20 years and just last fall I decided to start upgrading to DeWalt instead of the new Crafstman 20V series. I first bought(2) of the impact driver, drill, 2 battery and a charger in a DeWalt bag kit from Lowes. I was very happy with the performance. I then upgraded my garden tolls with cordless DeWalt tools, blower, string trimmer, pole chainsaw, 20v chainsaw, hedge trimmer, multi-tool, 1/2 socket impact hammer. I'm very impressed with the battery time and power of the tools! I bought a few DeWalt knockoff Chinese batteries and they are NOT worth the cost savings. The Chinese Waitly brand battery with the little battery gauge that reads in digital percent worked good but I had it on my pole chainsaw and while hanging up some bar oil dripped down the pole and ended up seeping into the battery. I picked it up to wipe it off and notice the battery was popped apart in the front screw area. Here the oil eats that cheap plastic of the cheap Chinese battery. I don't need that. I'm buying genuine DeWalt batteries from now on.
I kind of went down the same rabbit hole about 4 years ago when I decided I needed a big-boy cordless drill (ironically I bought it at Sears). Then came the cordless impact. Then the little job site blower (which I still prefer to blow away cut grass). Then the string trimmer. Then the larger higher-cfm blower for fall leaves. The string trimmer came with a used 5ah, and the big blower came with a like-new 5ah and a faster charger.

That looks like the perfect tool to make the shop buy. I could see it being useful for the winders at the electric motor shop im at.
I have used these and Milwaukee's version as well. The dies can be very finicky and it can take a minute to get everything adjusted right but once you get it correct these are very useful for things like cutting in large switch gears and transformers, I would only suggest using these if your company will buy them for you but if you gotta pay just stick with the good ole razor blade
Looks like a hell of a circumcizer. Glad I was born when the remote control was the closest kid to the TV.
Aussie here, new BOLTR on Sunday mornin with the coffee... NICE!

Great video as always, thank you for keeping it up & interesting :) However, looks like this tool is meant for stripping the semiconductive layer when doing high voltage terminations and splices with some consistency. You will need the right dieset for the specific cable used, as it shaves only the thin conductive outer layer on the main insulation.
That little m12 impact was in autostop mode, just needed to select a different power level on top.
Not autostop, its a mode for self-tapping/drilling screws, thats why it wouldnt hit.
It's for purple doing hundreds and hundreds of connections a week. Not for someone doing 6 wires every month. These are standard equipment on commercial jobs. Every job I've been on, the electricians are using these.
Still good to hear you say "I've never seen this before" Thanks for sharing
Missed ya bud. The summer fire's of your family bugging out for safety reminded me of Lassen County,CA growing up farming. Happy your back! I'm working my ass of to achieve a shop in my 30's. Appreciate your work.
Love the NanoSaw. I'm on blade number 4, but it still goes amazing.
Thanks for the Review
Happy happy Saturday the leader from the empire of dirt uploads.
This might be good for donor parts to fix a drill.
I've used these for a while now at work. I was really skeptical at first but to be honest like some of the other guys have said depending on what the insulation is it can work well. I've had decent results with THHN. If you get it off center your pretty well screwed, If you have the aluminum die on the copper or vise versa you can make a mess also. There's tons of dies and it's kind of a pain changing them out for different sizes. All that being said I keep going back for more cause stripping cable with a knife all day really blows. I have not got a chance to try out the Milwaukee strippers yet but these are worth the quirks to save on the hands in my experience.
First thing that comes to mind looking at this tool is there is going to be a lot of secondary circumcisions going on. Thanks for the new boltr.
I've got three of these in my bucket truck. It's pretty decent from stripping hendrix, and isn't bad when your pulling new wire and are stripping to put new pickles on. Even works on triplex. But it is pretty useless with everything else we've got. Only really speeds it up a little. And it works up to 900.
Save your next storm check and grab the Milwaukee m18 version, and the dies.
You'll thank me later.
@@southernlineman I don't buy any power tools. I'm union and part of our agreement is that our contractor is supposed to supply all our power tools and consumables. We only need to have our hand tools.

@@NimsChannel they ain't mine. Contractor owns them. I don't bring power tools. The only thing I've ever brought is a chainsaw cause I hot rodded it and wanted to test it out on the old cedar poles.

You can buy a really cool custom knife for that price.
And then look like a boss when you're manually stripping the wire.

@@jonanderson5137 I have a triple digit IQ
@@mrb692 technically a median not an average, hence one guy on both sides to balance it out.
Company bought us some of these in kit form a while back. If I remember right, the dies run from #2awg to 600 or 750 kcmil. I’ve used it on stuff in the 250-500kcm and like it for that, especially if doing several. Quite a bit faster than the razor knife I was using.
The box opening portion of this one took me back to a day where I was using what was my favorite power tool. An oscillating cutter which I was using to take a thin strip off the bottom of some doors. Like using a utility knife with the power and audio calamity of a table saw.
My favorite (I can’t remember which episodes it was and can’t find it anymore) was where AvE opened a box using his Haas.

Hey brother the carrot issue relates to having to higher nutrient levels in the soil where your growing the carrots, they grow out instead of long and thin

Ahhh. Must have had a nutrient deficiency in my early years. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
Or really hard soil.
and stoney mud and not wet enough for the tap to look for water.
Up in the icy north hinterlands, it's permafrost 6" down.
@@UberAlphaSirus the best carrots are grown in very light sandy soil,
The soil you describe that's clay and rocky will respond to gypsum and my secret mulsh made from fermentation of hay cow manure and water in tubs or drums lids on left to do its thing about a month or longer the longer the stronger and better!!
Simply strain as required use the liquid sparingly and use mixed in water like very week cordial if applying to foliage,any solids you strain out taking it from drum can go back into the fermenter you can also top up liquid level without adversely affecting your liquid fertilizer. Or once made strain off completely retaining solids decantering and storing all liquid (Gold). The solids can be used multiple ways firstly as an extremely good additive to clay and rocky soil by adding humus material to the soil structure.secondly If you have a peletiser by semi drying the solids and running through this machine you make the best fertilizer pellets money can buy.
Keep looking after our planet its where we live 🙏🏼🌍🌎🌏🇦🇺☮️
I’m currently interning (as part of my electronics apprenticeship) at a physics lab. They’ve got several automatic strippers. One is just for micro-coaxial cables. You program in the length and depth of each step for the jacket, the shielding, and the dielectric, in 0.01mm steps, and it spins and whirs and pops the cable out! I don’t even want to think how expensive that thing must be…
Cheaper than the amount of coax you go through when you're leaving it to a grad student to do by hand, particularly if length matching of the cables is important.
Every cable manufacturer has special stripping machines. Makes perfect ends by the hundreds or thousands daily.
that sounds terrible, .1mm is not good enough for stripping wire, even thick wires like 14awg or 12 awg are 1.6 and 2 mm respectively, you can't be gouging wires by 5% and not expect consequences.
@@0x73V14 I think the .1mm is about the length of the strip, not the depth. So how far back from the end gets stripped, for each layer.
specialist tool, for a specialist job
Bought one of these a couple months ago and it's still going strong. Use it for terminating new underground services. I will say though, I got the tool only on sale for about 80 petro dollars, but I already had a full set of ripley bushings which just so happened to fit it perfectly. Like another guy said on here, it's a real pita on one offs, but when making multiple connections for a new pad mount transformer it's a real time saver.
I saw a lineman pull one of these out of his bag while dealing with some 5/8" aluminum wire. Took him all of 5 seconds yo get all 4 wires of a 3 phase system stripped while leaning out of a bucket. I did the pocket knife routine to strip the other end and it took me a good two minutes each wire as I could not manipulate my way around the wire like you would with something more forgiving. Definitely not a tool for home players, but a great time saver for the elecchicken pros.
I'll let yah know, we had one of these insulation rippers at the boeing plant for a quick substation job and the boss man said it was going to improve productivity. Sure it'll do the trick but the stripping assembly cantilevering off the tool like that brought it's early demise. After only one short fall off the cart it managed to bend the die holder. It wasn't much of a productivity improver before the accident and it sure as hell wasn't much of one after. I'll keep my hawkbill thank you, and have a nice day!
Boeing and productivity in the same sentence?? Madness. :)
If the deskwarmers think it’s a good idea it’s usually trash.
Definitely looks like one of those tools you buy specifically for 1 job and it sits on the shelf after that, probably to never be used again.
Awesome concept pushed thru upper management and to market in less than a month. This one will make em a mint...then they realized you have now 2 drill motors you gots to haul up that ladder.

I've learned that with my milfwaukie impact driver and wallet, that anything longer than 5ish inches acts like an old car torsion spring. A 1/2in drive socket extension can resist twisting under impact. The peak torque an 8inch+ hex shank can't break loose much. I will say they're handy for loose bolts and getting snug before a torque wrench.
For hex drive to 'impact' socket adapters the short cheap ones will take off most lugnuts, roads don't get salted here though
Have missed these.
Klein makes a wrist powered stripper for big wire, looks like a water key. I've found them to be easier to use, and with no battery to lose, more reliable.
I guess these strip further down, but I've never that capability yet. Circumcision is all that's been called for.
_"Wrist Powered Stripper"_ is what I call my left-hand!
No... wait... that's _"Wrist Powered Hooker",_ my mistake....
Oh, and if they don't strip down all the way, then they aren't a stripper and you need to ask for a refund! :}
Had a nightmare last night. You made a video that you were not gonna continue on TH-cam. Then you posted today, made my day!
I've always wondered if you can trip smal wires with those plastic wire wheels.
Clamp the end of the wire in between 2 rotating wire wheels and strip down the insulation.
You had the impact in self-tapper mode, 3 is high power

This tool is really going to help my home circumcision business.
I see this as a replacement of the shopvac in causing lonely Friday night workplace injuries.
If we are gonna start doing some commercial specialist minded tools...I would like to know what makes a rigid pro press tick! And why they hell the insane price tag. Seems to me it's just a battery powered hydraulic press .....why do they cost thousands? AvE needs to get on it
I'm going to venture a guess and say its being manufactured/distributed under the real Rigid company and not the power tool division under TTI.
Given that the smaller, $2,800 version weighs 7 lbs without the jaws or battery and has loops to attach a shoulder strap I would say that it's because its a beefy little machine. And if its sold in smaller quantities there is more development cost per tool. Developing any well made product is not cheap. Also, what @TpzBla said. Cool tool though. If I could make money with it I'd buy it on Monday.
I haven't used the Rigid one, but I have used the RLS/Zoomlock (about the same price) one for refrigeration and OH BOY does it save time. The fittings are quite pricey, but being able to crimp from 1/4 to 1-5/8, in like 10s is amazing. The more pipe you run the more time you save. Plus, you don't need to lug a torch around, and you can do it where soldering is infeasible. They are stupid expensive tho, no doubt. But like any specialized tool, to the right person, they are worth the price (tho, got mine on ebay for like 1/2 price). Its probably a mix of low sales volume, and 'because they can' that they cost $$$$.
@@Pheonixco hence the price tag
If we are wishing I would like to know why the hell the uponor/propex expander tools in 12v are 800 fuckin dollars, and why hasn't a pex ring crimping tool in 20v with a rotating and extendable head been invented? I realize the latter query is outside uncle bumblefucks area of interest, but I still want to know.

As a Romex ranger it's useless. Strip 3-6 wires per house?
Now, as an industrial chicken, I can say there are better tools, and they're worth it when you have to land 300 thwn-2 AL into all the breakers for a 10000A service and distribution.
The 'heatsinks' possibly are heat-cores: blocks of metal meant to soak up a short period of heat production from the underlying mosfets. Generally used in situations where the design calls for only a limited runtime before cooling down: for instance, UPSses and missiles tend to have them.

These things work great as long as you and you alone use it. The very second your apprentice looks at one of these it’s totally dickered
There is a Milwaukee version that has an adjustable die. The full kit for this works way better when setup correctly and used right. I used both for many hours and would only recommend the desalt
They also do double duty as a hammer, in a pinch!
