[TowerTalk] Coax cable stripper

[n1bkb at aol.com]

 Just an FYI Guys,
For those of us who don't solder or crimp connectors on coax very often but need to do so and do not want to invest in an expensive large wire stripping tool to do a neat job, a few rotations of an inexpensive plumber's copper pipe cutting tool works amazingly well at cutting the outer insulation jacket of the coax without cutting/damaging the layer of braid immediately underneath.

I love the multi blade strippers with the interchangeable adjustable cassettes.  You can set them up for different kinds of coax, and when you swap, you just put in the already adjusted blade set. 
Mine was from Palantir 25 years ago.  

This kind of thing (except this is for one kind of coax, pre adjusted)

The one I have lets you move the blades in 0.05” increments along the length of the coax, and has a little hex screw to set the cutting depth. 

Perfect cuts every time.
