  Thanks for pointing this out. Wish I could find everything on your web site, but it certainly is well hidden if it is there. When I am looking for something at 2AM I don't like to disturb people & I am usually looking for information NOW.

    Hi Folks,  The RFA-4087, as Larry points out, is a real good stripper.  Sold 
    for $ 48 or more elsewhere (above the mfr. suggested list), we sell it for $ 
    36.00,  below mfr. sug. list).   We also have crimp tools with 
    interchangeable die (vs. many you have to buy the tool with permanently 
    affixed die for one cable or similar sized cables).

       Any parts, tools,  PolyPhaser, etc. related to our core biz of wire, 
    cable and custom cable design,  please run by me as I think you will always 
    find the price, tech insight, product experience and Customer Satisfaction 
    to be noteworthy.

    I really like the RFA-4087 from RF Parts
    (http://www.rfparts.com/coax_accessories.html , under "Coax Strippers and
    Prep Tools" toward the bottom of the page). Sells for $48.90 and works with
    LMR-400, LMR-400UF, RG8, 213, 214 and 9913 per their catalog. I used mine on
    regular LMR400 for a complete antenna installation at my new QTH. Never had
    to change the blades. It looks like a cheap-o plastic stripper in the
    catalog, but it is die-cast zinc and heavy duty. I have used the Ripley
    Cablematic on RG-8 and much prefer the RFA-4087. These are really slick.
    Couple one of these with a crimp connector made for the LMR-400 and you have
    a solid, quick connection.
