GE,
Does anyone know of a good Coax Stripping Tool For RG8X & Crimp Style PL259?
There are plenty of Coax Stripping Tools For RG8X and solder style PL259s
but I don't seem to be able to find one for crimp style 259s
I'm a big fan of the Paladin adjustable stripper. It comes with a tiny
allen hex wrench to adjust the height of the blades, and you can move
them to various positions along the cut. Once you get it dialed in for
YOUR coax and YOUR connectors, it's the work of 10 seconds to make a
perfect strip.
Paladin (and others) make fixed strippers too, but you need to choose
wisely. Compare the cut lengths and depths for the stripper against the
assembly diagram for your connector and coax.
Paladin is part of Greenlee (the folks who have made chassis punches for
probably a century)
