[TowerTalk] N9iWW I use Box cutter knife to strip coax

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

There is a learning curve, but for most hams it's rather short.  It's 
quick and easy once you get used to it even for those with Al foil and 
fine AL wire for the shield. Just use a deep score on the jacket. Don't 
cut all the way through. If done correctly, it only take a "little" side 
pressure to separate at the score, leaving the braid and foil untouched. 
Use crimp connectors on these.

K9IWW a good suggestion. It's almost as as a cable prep tool, which make 
the two cuts (PL-29) or 3 cuts (N-Type) in one operation and doesn't 
require a careful setup like the prep tool
