I gave up on trying to find one. A hot air paint stripping gun works better to
get the PL259 body up to temp very quickly;after that, a 40 watt Weller TCP with
a number 8 bit works fine - that's on RG8 size cable, too.
I also recommend a cheap tubing cutter to cut the tinned braid exactly to
length.
Just remember to put the sleeve on the cable first!!
