GE,

Does anyone know of a good Coax Stripping Tool For RG8X & Crimp Style PL259?
There are plenty of Coax Stripping Tools For RG8X and solder style PL259s
but I don't seem to be able to find one for crimp style 259s



I'm a big fan of the Paladin adjustable stripper. It comes with a tiny allen hex wrench to adjust the height of the blades, and you can move them to various positions along the cut. Once you get it dialed in for YOUR coax and YOUR connectors, it's the work of 10 seconds to make a perfect strip.

Paladin (and others) make fixed strippers too, but you need to choose wisely. Compare the cut lengths and depths for the stripper against the assembly diagram for your connector and coax.

Paladin is part of Greenlee (the folks who have made chassis punches for probably a century)
