[TowerTalk] Crimp connectors & Strippers

Greetings,
   I recently invested in a coax/power pole crimp kit from Texas Towers. 
The problem is, the kit comes with no instructions and Texas Towers has 
nothing other than a video showing how to install a connector on 1/2 
inch coax. That is fine for the crimper and I imagine the info also 
applies to 1/4 inch coax too. However, the video does not use the 
stripper which is included in the kit. There is a stripper for small and 
one for large diameter cable. The smaller stripper has 2 adjustable 
blades and a rotatable 'die' to grip the coax. The larger stripper has 3 
adjustable blades.
   Can someone point me toward info on how to use especially the 
strippers and possibly more info on the crimper setup too? I don't want 
to wast any more connectors than I have to while learning to use this thing!

Thanks,
Mike / W8DN
