 Hey guys, what is up? It is Times at 8 37 in the morning. Just got back from my workout, which is why I'm a little glistening glowing as you would say And I thought I would just quickly come on here and give what I think today's topic should be and I'm gonna go with What knife are you guys using? There's this kind of knife? There's a hook knife. I like to call it and then there's this guy your Olfa knife or exacto knife and let's talk about that But before I get into that if you look on this page the Electric Academy fan page or the business page Whatever you want to call it if you look up to the top there I have got a free PDF of online online resources that I made for electricians so on the only purpose being that Finding stuff online is not always the easiest thing to do especially for electricians There's a lot of noise out there So what it is I put a list of some resources that I always use might go to when I'm teaching if I need some backup or I need Some information or some resources. These are the ones that I use So if you go to the top of this page and you click click on the learn more link down below there It's gonna take you through you just give me your email and it'll send you the PDF that I made and see what you think now back to this When I am teaching I talk about this knife here this hook knife Because this knife here is talking about knife safety is a lot more safe than this knife here This knife here is fairly dull. It's got this hook on it You can get that into your bromix or your Lumix and pull it and it should Be able to dig in there without causing too much pain. Now. Here's the thing I Use this knife quite a bit when I'm stripping tech and that sort of stuff The problem thing is it is super duper sharp. I will not be running my finger along the edge there You guys know about I'm sure a lot of us have used this or use this or having our tool bag I know I do but the thing when you're using your knife is you want to cut away from yourself not toward yourself Now there was a company I worked for up north in Fort McMurray that banned these and a lot of these are Be sites are banning these because people were using them Let me just put this in here make sure there's no edge there And when they're stripping they're stripping like this and they had a couple incidents where guys cut along their arm and Almost bled out so you got to be careful That's why we'd use the whole cut towards your buddy not your body you cut away from yourself But even then just use common sense guys even if you're cutting towards your buddy You can still hurt yourself if you're cutting on your leg Anything like that you can hurt yourself with this knife just as well You can do this your cut nurse pulling it you can jab it into something just use your common sense Be aware that the edges are sharp These things are not meant to be too sharp I've seen guys take this edge here and sharpen the bejesus out of it and make it just as dangerous as this knife here So what I would like to know is which one are you guys thinking do you guys prefer this hook knife? Or do you want this guy right here? So Like I said, I use this guy when I'm use stripping tech I use this guy a lot when I'm stripping Lumex or Lumex or whatever you want to call it If you guys could do me a favor I would love it if you could share this video so we can find out what other people think and I would love to hear what the Consensus is on the exacto knife I know like I said a lot of sites a lot of companies are banning them Which I can totally understand why because they are so sharp and so dangerous and the thing too is These guys when the knife dulls you can just punch it off. You just you can see there See there's a serrated edge there You can just pop it off and bring the knife out Well, even when you do that a lot of guys will hit it on the concrete It'll fly up and you can get it caught in your eye big thing on the ice safety as well All right, that's all I got for now. So again, just to recap which knife are you using? Like it down below if you don't like this knife. Give me a angry face or whatever Can you share this video so we can find out what other electricians are using out there? Which is it going to be exacto or is it going to be hook knife? All right, and also don't forget to download that PDF. It is awesome I was quite proud of when I made it and it's gone out a few thousand times And I've gotten some good feedback on it. So take a look at it and if there's stuff you want me to add to it By all means let me know. All right. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye
