Cable Stripper RG-8/11/213, 3-Blade Model (HT-322S3)

I tried adjusting the blades several times. Will strip the coax for a PL259 but never completely. I still end up fine stripping with my diagonal cutter.

Once you get the depth of the blades properly adjusted (plenty of trial & error here) this tool does a reasonable job of stripping coax cable prior to installing a connector. If I was a professional installer and needing this type of tool for every day use, I would probably purchase a higher grade tool with rollers on it. But for occasional use like mine (Amateur Radio) it seems to do fine. And while having a hex wrench stored in the body is a nice touch, I find it is necessary to have a second tool to pry the wrench out of the body of the tool. There is not enough space provided to get under the wrench to remove it if you have short fingernails.

I had been using a utility knife to install PL259 connectors a tedious proccess but then I had 18 to do in one day this tool made it much easier and quicker. I would definatly recomend this tool.

It works. It could use a little stiffer spring but it does work. Don’t go too slow. It will try to cut at an angle.

very good.. worth price

Ok cable prep. Wish it would be possible to back off an unneeded blade however. You can only back off to a certain point. This makes using it difficult since the blade still drags and can mess up the shield of the cable.

Much better than trying to skin the conductors of a coax. You need to do a little clean up, but nothing major and nothing worth paying $40 or more dollars for. It is not for mass production either. The blades will last 30 or 40 connectors. Again, great for the price.

Product works great once its adjusted for your coax thickness. Adjustment is easy with the included allen key.
