Pete et al,
I should have been more specific. It is not a stripping tool but a
handy assembly tool. I was recommending it in addition the their
stripping tool.
I make cables almost every day. I have arthritis in my hands and this
tool makes it easier for me to put a PL259 on coax. Sure I could use
Vice grips or some other gripping tool but working smart is a good
policy to follow.
