 I think I will have a go at making one! It only 'appears' to be a pipe cutter with a hacksaw blade instead of the cutting wheel 
On the other hand it may be consigned to my pile of 'unfinshed projects' of which there are many 
I am a confirmed gadgetteer. I have 2 lathes, milling machine, pedestal drills, linisher etc etc. Mig, Stick, Gas welders etc etc. I make [try to] Diving equipment, gadgets for work

Bought one a month ago in WF. Cost about £18. Made off around 15, 2.5mm, 3-core armoureds and the blade was shagged (comes with 1 spare).
Did the job but I wouldn't advise using it to strip the pvc sheath under the steel wires(instructions suggest this), as you may damage the inner cores.
Overall I'd say it's worth having in the bag, although a little overpriced.

Well it arrived.
It works and that's all you can say. I shan't use it again though. The hacksaw is better and faster

I have used a Ridgid #20 tubing cutter in the past with a stainless steel cutting wheel that had to be ordered seperately. I'm sure you can find them online.
