I bought a few gimmicky tools like this when I was a Apprentice but over the years we all end up going back to the basics strippers lineman's and screwdrivers.
Gotta admit, I do like the VoltClaw, got the set as a Christmas present a few years ago. One house I was doing reno work on had so many heavily packed old small boxes, it was hell on the skin. Used the VoltClaws to manipulate the wires better than I could with just my fingers.
I don’t think it is an essential tool for an electrician, but it is really helpful for the DYI homeowner. An electrician knows how to work inside a box but the DYI homeowner might not know and cut the insulation on a wire if they use a pliers. This tool is very handy to push and pull wires inside a box.
I mean the only thing id use it for is those sketchy j boxes where box fill wasn't even an afterthought. Especially where there's a bunch of stranded wire and I'm working it hot.
Well... for all this super electricians, You guys are lucky cuz most of your construction it's on plywood, wood, PvC, gypsum board and that's easy job like baby easy job but now us here in the Caribbean we got concrete construction using blocks or solid concrete walls and sometimes depending how old it's the electric it can be a pain in the @$$ having to use bare fingers in the boxes with old cables and using gloves not all the time it's a good option so that stick its really kind of handy
this!!! I can do it with my fingers, but with practice i bet that you can use the stick and be just as fast but without all the small bruises from the concrete walls
Essential for Whom? as a Residential Electrician, I work with wires thicker tan AWG 6 a very few times, and when I need to strip them, I do it easily with a utility knife.
Are you joking? Or are you a joke? Dude, these are awesome tools, have had them for awhile and makes working in tight constraints, much safer! No expensive or time consuming Accidents, as they do happen.
DUDE!!! I said the same thing when a co-worker kept trying to get me to use his at a hotel job. After I used it ONCE I said,"oh, wow!" and then bought one that same day. When it comes to solid wire, the Voltclaw is the tits! It saved my hands, wire insulation, and, most importantly, time. Not sure how much use you'd get out of it with stranded but if you're at a jobsite that's using solid wire then do yourself a favor and get one. I know it looks super dumb but it really is pretty great!
Not if they put a ncv detector in it.. and gave it a pussy.. so you could fuck it.. but really if it was more a multi tool and had good wire cutters in it with screwdriver thats non conductive and a flash light, level and a pussy so you could fuck it.. yea.. definitely needs a pussy function.. available in yellow black and white.. for the exotic preferences..
There is no way an electrician made this video. The claw is junk and the stencil thing is one made for the UK and two stupid. No one would care that thing around.
@@og6114 i'm using a lot of tools for example everything from Knipex is awesome and the screwdriver kraftform from wera is also one of my favourite tool

Thanks for sharing! I will check
If you need a volt claw to handle wires as small as 12 and 14 gauge, you need to work In an office on a computer somewhere.

Thanks for highlighting the importance of this tool for DIY enthusiasts. It's great to learn from experienced electricians like you.
Sorry, but if you think a Voltclaw is essential, you shouldn’t be an electrician 😂

A solution to a problem that doesn’t exist
What ever happened to fingers?

The volt claw looks like it would take longer and get in my way. LOTO and do your business quick and safe.
That volt claw is just about the most useless gimmick I have ever seen
This is a joke right? Volt claw? Id buy one only to give to a coworker for april fools.
K Laplante I buy these for my team and they use them constantly. No complaints. They are grateful for them.
K Laplante lmfao 🤣

The volt claw is about the most useless crap I have ever seen!
I have them and use them daily. Love the tool. (Commercial/Industrial electrician.)

I'll stick my Knipex insulated needle nose. Hasn't let me down yet.

Agree if you need this you’re not a very good electrician, it’s straight crap
I am an electronic tech and I use an old small long needle nose with some heat shrink tubing on then due to my arthritis condition.
Is arthritis due to you being an electrician?
@@tommymack3210 No it is just other health reasons, like got stab on the knee when i was 13 yrs old.
@@ldiazmdiaz ok. Thanks for answer
Excelen

It’s a game changer……….
Voltclaw tools price please
That is only for soild wire, plus that for the American Market (Volt claw). Make one that can deal with stranded wires.
Yea none of that is useful to me
Really you turned of the power before you started
VOLCLAW... or just use your fingers 🤦♂️
Loved the way he checked the voltage with a volt pen. This kind of advice could be fatal
Nice sir
I will mercilessly tease anyone I see with a VoltClaw.
I work live with bare hands and don't get shocked. Just need to be careful
These aren't useful except for you to ask suckers for their money.
Volt claw payment method tell me about this tool any body I buy this
Yes, very good for pushing wires in electrical boxes as well as pulling them out.
Now you gotta but the useless tool.
