Cables Direct OnlineRotary Coax Coaxial Cable Stripper Cutter Tool For RG58 RG6 RG59 Quad, Dual Wire

Must have if you're preparing multiple cables. YouTube How To videos detail the use of this tool. No included instructions.

Delivered on time and was as advertised.

Had to adjust the blades a lot to get it to work right. But, once I did, it works fine

Works great. I didn't actually buy this for coax cable, although I may use it for that someday. I bought it because I needed a lot of pigtails for light fixtures (like 64 of them) and the best way to make them was to buy short round extension cords and cut the sockets off. This meant having to strip the jacket off the cords. After experimenting with the first one, I thought it would be much easier with a rotary stripper of some kind. My Cat6 stripper was too small so I bought this coax one because of the adjustable blades and the 4 sizes of cable it could strip. I set the orange block for RG6 size cable, lowered the outer sheathe blade all the way down and adjusted the deep cutting blade to cut most of the way through the extension cord jacket. Works wonderfully and makes stripping the other 63 cords a breeze. I can also see how this would work great for coax and am very pleased with my purchase, especially for the price.

If you have a lot of coax to replace and you want to strip the wires yourself, these are similar to what the pros use. Simple to operate, and quick to use. If you’re working on your own upgrades and tired of manually stripping coax this will do the job.

Cheap imitation of a brand name tool that I have seen videos on. Damaged shield on RG58 cable, noneof the four sizes provided on rotary adjustment was correct. (RG58 was one of the sizes it was made for,and the only reason I purchased it) I am returning it, and buying a more expense brand name tool.

This item was advertised as being for RG58 cable. But the label in the box says it is Item Number 490148 for RG59/6 cable. My RG58 UHF connectors require 8 mm between the jacket cut and shield cut, and this dimension is set to 4 mm. It makes two cuts, not the three required. It takes a few inches of practice cable to get the cut depth adjusted for the cable you are using. The adjustment is made with the Allen wrench (yes, it was included with mine). And no, there are no directions.On the positive side, it seems to accommodate different cable diameters buy removing and rotating the orange cable clamp. If you need 4 mm you can make two cuts. I am keeping the tool because I can lower one blade and set the other to make the difficult shield cut. The other two cuts can be made with a knife.

I watched a couple of videos where guys showed how to strip coaxial cable without a tool. These videos convinced me to just buy the tool for less than $10. This stripper tool works perfectly. I practiced one time on a piece of scrap coax. After adjusting the depth of cut on one blade (simply turn that adjusting screw with the wrench that comes with the tool), I got clean, perfectly stripped coax ends. 8-)
