that's the best tutorial I've seen on how to use that particular tool. I bought mine at Walmart, LOL. I was always afraid to cut the ends off my cable, because I wasn't confident I could put the new connector back on properly. When I ran RG6 from my attic antennas down to my den, I had to cut the end off the cable and was quite frankly very happy when I put the new connector on first try. Who knew something so simple could be so difficult? I recently purchased an IDEAL wire stripper (non-adjustable) and just use that now. On some cables I have to be careful not to cut too deeply, but you're spot on with practicing first and making adjustments!!
This video was very easy to understand and helpful. It has many similarities to the 50Ω cables used in wireless communication, so it will be helpful for adjustment. Before watching this video, I did not know how to use this tool. It works fine with RG58A/U cables.
Oh my YES! This is exactly what I was looking for. I had done a bunch of coax terminations years ago but forgot how. Needing to do a couple right now and kept chopping all the way through. I knew there was "something" I was missing - blade adjustment - oops! Thank you for taking the time and explaining this perfectly :)
Great video and perfect explanation on how to use the tool. I have the same tool that came with a RG6 kit I purchased. Always had issues getting good fitting cable ends. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Great information! Question I noticed you left foil on white conductor cable? Should that be removed also ? Seen other remove but looks difficult to me... appreciate it
This has been what I needed to see. I have the exact same cutter and did not know why it wasn't making two cuts. I have a question, what are the: "4, 6, 8, 12" numbers and the drawing for on the tool? Thanks!
The viewer below gave a good answer for your question. They probably are a reference point for the length of the exposed conductor and shielding. The little picture below them alludes to that. Likely the measurements are in millimetres, but I don't use those. Stripping the cable as outlined in the video will give good results. Thanks for watching!
Those numbers describe the distance between the blades lengthwise along the cable. The blades can be moved into the different slots to achieve those spacings. So for instance if you want 4 mm of braid exposed, and 8 mm of center conductor.
@@NorthcoasterHobby Well, thanks for the replies! Now I just noticed that inside the tip of the "claw" are tiny letters: A- thru- E. These must be the spacings for the slots that the blades can be moved into. (Now how do you move the blades?)🤔
Very helpful! What's the point of leaving the little bit of braided strand if you're just going to peel them back anyway? I get you don't want them to touch the core, but why keep them at all?
Great video. Thanks. Especially the part about not having any of the braided shield wire touching the center copper wire. One strand touching will cause degraded video. Voice of experience here. They are fine and hard to see. If you could do a follow up video on a good crimping tool that would be great as well.

Hi, I just had a chance to look at this. Maybe it can be pressed back in, with a dab of hot glue. Mine are secured in still. Does it affect the turning of the set screws?
Probably preset for RG6, but every brand of coaxial cable is going to be slightly different. I would do a couple of test cuts and adjust as necessary first.
Does anyone know what the measurements on the tool are for (not the numbers on the orange one, but on the gray one) that say 4, 6, 8, 12? Sorry for my ignorance but I don't understand what they are for or how to used.

I’m glad it worked out for you. Practice makes perfect (sort of). Thanks for watching!

Great explanation thanks! I own the tool but wasn’t using to its full potential , thanks for the great tips.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Very helpful, needed to understand how to use the tool.
Good review and demonstration, thanks

It should be left on.
@@NorthcoasterHobby thank you so much appreciated it

They act as a ground.

Are they preset new or you have to adjust
Probably preset for RG6, but every brand of coaxial cable is going to be slightly different. I would do a couple of test cuts and adjust as necessary first.
Does anyone know what the measurements on the tool are for (not the numbers on the orange one, but on the gray one) that say 4, 6, 8, 12? Sorry for my ignorance but I don't understand what they are for or how to used.

I have a similar one but won’t cut outer cable without cutting braiding
Is it adjustable?
So why not just set the one blade to cut the braiding off completely?
The braiding contacts the RF-connector’s outer collar and serves as a ground.
Just what I need. The instructions that came with the tool were horrible.
