There is no universal cable stripper that works like a pipe cutter for different cable sizes and types, and manual stripping of heavy cable is extremely time-consuming. This app concept addresses that gap.
“Manual stripping of heavy cable to separate conductors and scrap copper is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.”
“User struggles to manually cut open large MV cable to access copper conductor for scrap.”
An app that helps field technicians route large, stiff cables by suggesting optimized paths and tool use. It reduces the need for manual workarounds like cutting conduit to add junction boxes.
“Newer EMT conduit is more susceptible to rippling during hand bending, making consistent bends harder to achieve.”
“Electrician struggles with difficult-to-remove plastic lining on individual conductors of hospital grade MC cable, wasting time and causing frustration.”
Field service technicians struggle with non-standard pipe sizes and fittings, wasting time improvising or searching for rare parts. An app that identifies compatible fittings and recommends specialized tools would save hours per job.
“Worker looking for recommendations on snips brand and whether to use offset snips for residential service work.”
“Home DIYer needs specialized plumbing hand tools to access and tighten nuts in awkward spaces under sinks.”

Workers lack proper fasteners for mounting electrical boxes, leading to unsafe workarounds like using drywall screws.
Unable to find a copper 3-way corner 90 fitting, requiring workarounds like using a tee and elbow which adds extra solder joints and uses more materials.
Unable to find standard fittings that fit baseboard heat copper piping with a slightly oversized outer diameter.
Small copper tubing with narrow walls gets deformed when cut with a standard tubing cutter, and no reamer can fit inside to clean the edge.
Apprentice HVAC technician needs a reliable, cost-effective gas reclaim machine that won't break after a few uses.
