Glad I found your vid. Back in 06 I did some work for dishTV and because their business model (as I’m very fond of informing customers) consists of a very effective and efficient service. By this I mean: 1. Arrive on site, politely introduce yourself and as fast as possible perform the work. 2. Get the payment and move on. That in itself was and should be well enough. But the fine print I learned later was not exactly what I was really meant to do. It was do the work, don’t bother to make it look nice inside the house. If dragging the cable around a corner is possible, it’s adequate. Don’t secure it, fasteners take too much time and time isn’t figured into the price. Hurry up and just do it, upsell. UPSELL. By every means possible, but not if you’re going to spend valuable time. After all, you have 12 or so more customers scheduled before sunset, and Wisconsin is a vast territory. Make sure also to make them sign something. On the exterior, however, do make the cable tidy. If the outside fails, you the tech take all the blame. Inside, that’s the CX problem. That was longer than i expected. The old cable stripper I’ve had since 2006 doesn’t cut the skin right and severed the shielding. So recently I purchased this tool. I tried it out and for yet undecided reasons it was doing the same thing. So I looked it up and your video apparently just indicated the right direction to rotate because it worked. Such a simple error. The old one may actually work and I just was always rotating wrong. When you do these a lot, or have done them enough times it’s like a bike. You can’t f it up. As an electrician I have numerous things I do a lot. I do coax once in a blue moon at most over last 15yrs. Recently the local cable co has realized they need to catch up to the fiber optic world and so I guess I’m getting cable pulling jobs because they (Xfinity) have adapted their gear. Whatever. Thx for the useful vid. ❤
