    I'd love to see this being used by an electrician that has the tools use down pat. I imagine it could be a real time saver if you know how to use all its abilities. Thinking it might work as well for bending in the loop/eye for screw attachment after striping the wire. Strip - form loop - screw on.

    I agree but with the brand of Stanley I doubt many professional electricians would be caught dead owning one. for one thing the shank is not insulated. I'm not a professional electrician but I have my dedicated screw drivers for electrical work in panels
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Frank, I totally agree with your statement. I as well use all insulated tools when doing my work. I'm thinking if one wasndoing new work with no power to the panel or subs this might be a cool tool. Understand the caution though. And yes, might be the last tool you use if you got ahold of an energized wire. Ouch!
