Jonard Tools AST-200 Cable Saber™ Armored Mid Span Cable Slit & Ring Tool (4 mm-28.6 mm)

Performs midsheathes on any size of fiber. Dial it in until it barely scores the jacket. Profit $$$$$

This tool was a lifesaver on getting into midsheath 144 count Fiber. It was easy to just back and forth from ring to straight cut and feeling for the right depth to cut was very obvious when you hit the armor. Highly recommend this tool! This should be in everyone’s tool box that has to get into fiber.

Love It!!!!! Perfect for armored cable.

I purchased this and was testing it on some 48F armoured fiber. Once calibrated it worked absolutely flawlessly. Removing the armor was such a pain in the rear before I got this as the buffer tube was really weak. I attempted to do a ring cut and damaged the blade on the strength member. I contacted Jonard and they sent a replacement at no cost! As long as you don't cross the strength member on a ring cut this thing is awesome. Jonard has a loyal customer after this experience!

Can't teach an old dog new tricks. I've used them all and this is hands down the easiest and highest quality tool in its class. If they have anything negative to say about it they just don't have the mind or patience to learn how to use the extra knob on the tool. Yes the cheaper ones work, but I can hand this to a zero experience new guy and have him doing midspan breakouts before the coffee is made.
