What happens here

The father further explains the practical application of this tool during the 'roughing-in' phase of a new house construction. He describes a scenario where multiple wires are hanging by an electrical box, and precision and speed are crucial. With the Jokari stripper, an electrician can quickly mark the desired stripping point on the cable with a Sharpie, insert the cable into the tool, hit it where needed, and then easily push the stripped wire into the panel. This process makes rough-in work much faster and more efficient. The son acknowledges the utility of the tool and states he will use it on the job.
