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.
