Good quality, over priced, but didn’t fit the fiber jacket. I’m sure it’s fine for other applications.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***L on 10 August 2017*

I work for a major communications company and open mid span cables of all sizes known to man, with plenty of "working" fibers, and have run into smaller tubes that were difficult and precarious to open with larger slitters, especially older gel-filled cables with tube degradation. I have only used this 3 times for these situations and this slitter worked flawlessly. Made my previously stressful situations a breeze. I highly recommend this product.
