You need two tools -- a stripper and a compression tool. Here's a nice, inexpensive compression tool.

Here are a couple of strippers similar to what I use.

I need to get a tool for connector installation, any preferences on tool for installing the connectors? or at least any that should be avoided as they do not last? I noted two on epay - the red handled ones ( has stripper and just RG 6 &59 plus some connectors!) and blue handled ones (no stripper but will handle rg 11 , 6 & 59)
