Rapid Tools releases a newer version of its Rapid Shark — the Big Bite Rapid Shark. The new addition handles 6-12 AWG wires, whereas the original works on 12-18 AWG. The Shark's knife and wire stripper are cleverly combined in a rugged, ergonomic case about the size of a stan­dard knife. The pliers-like grip for the stripper locks securely into the body of the knife when not in use. It is spring loaded for easy opening and comfortable cutting, with five precision-ground strip­ping holes for easily removing insulation from wire. It is the first and only tool to combine a utility knife with a wire stripper; patents pending worldwide. Both sizes are rugged with professional-grade construction for durability and come with five Rapid Edge blades — the patented, serrated blade that lasts longer & cuts easier. Other features include a wire cutter and crimper; one-button, quick blade change that is easy and saves time; and a four-blade storage compartment. www.rapidtools.net
