Last month, I made up a couple of dozen 2 ft - 6 ft cables to replace 
all the patching in my station. I used Buryflex and Amphenol 83-1SP 
connectors. I used my RG8/11/213 simple twist-action prep tool to strip 
the cable, then carefully twisted the center conductor, verified that it 
fit through the center pin, then tinned it and made sure that it still fit.

The strip tool is carefully adjusted so that it does not compromise the 
stranded center conductor. That was a tricky adjustment that I did 
several years ago. That was a total of 40+ connectors, and only once did 
I have to cut the cable and re-strip it because I hadn't twisted it 
carefully enough.
