I've had this tool for years. I figured out adjusting the depth of a cut on my own, but did not know I can adjust the length too. Fordham informative thank you for this video. Excellent!
I purchased this and spent an hour trying to make proper cuts with a scrap piece of coax. Finally searched TH-cam for a good explanation. The blade that cuts the outer sleeve was the problem. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I bought 4 of these from China and they came without an instruction manual. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the blade spacing as advertised, so I thought it's impossible. Turns out, it's not! This is very useful.
How do I determine which length I need when setting the blades (A,B,C,D,E)? Does this relate to the type or cable, or type of connector, or both? And BTW did you mention that those blades are pretty sharp?
Ah.. I have just read that the foil firmly stuck to the inner polythene of some RG6 and near-impossible to remove, is actually non-conductive, so can be left in place. I'm going to check with meter.
Great video. How do the letters for blade placement correspond with the mm measurements on the tool? For RG-59 and RG-6 should it be set at 6 or 8 for a compression fitting? Thanks.
Good stuff. But in the ancient cable I want to use, the inner polythene is firmly stuck to a very thick foil layer. Near impossible to remove foil without munching up the poly. Maybe the tool could do it, not sure. Should've gone to CableWholesale!
I purchased a crimper kit. Comes with the same stripper. I wanted to strip RG8X and the stripper doesn't show that it will strip the x8. Ive seen utube videos that they are stripping the 8x. What adjustment are they making. Thanks for any help
8X and 59 are almost exactly the same. The adjustments should take of that, I was going to comment on the RG 400 that I use , it's almost exactly the same as 58 .... I'll try it it's only 10 bux for the tool.... BTW I quit using 8X years ago.... Only RG 400 for me and my customers, not the LMR 400 though, it's almost as bad as the 8X ....
Does anyone know how to interpret the arrow that tell you the cable size is set for?. That arrow is...in the middle of nowhere. Looking at the arrow does not tell me sh.t. Just confusing at best.
I see, I must have a bad tool. The arrow on my tool is in the middle of 2 numbers. The arrow on his tool is right on the number. D.a.m.n must be made in China as we all know!

6:21 yeah have just tried them now setting my amplifier and speakers up thanks for your help guy's 👍
Great coax stripper tool explanation. But I don’t understand the need of the spring near the blade!
What an awesome video, thank you for sharing!!!
This is a very concise but extremely informative video on how to use this tool. Thank you very much for this great video.
Great video. Thank you!

"for less than $5 I can have my own stripper" Well then... lol
How well would this work with mic cable if you take the first blade out
Excellent, very comprehensive, thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Much appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for your clear explanation. When I got my stripping tool, it didn’t come with any instructions. Go figure...
Great instructions for what could be a PITA, couldn't find a link to buy the tool for $5
Good video - VERY helpful
Very good tutorial.
Thanks

@@Budro4764 Thanks, I was hoping I could use the stripper for rg8x

Yeah but how do you strip a coax cable?
Thank You 👊
do we have to say "go ahead" a million times in almost every youtube video ? wow
Thanks for this ;)
The tool if use for UTP ?
Hello Esteban, this cable is used for stripping coaxial cable not Ethernet cable.
can this stripper work for normal wires sq1mm sq2mm
Hello Kris Kris, This stripper is sized for coax wires, and is not designed and therefor unlikely to fit other types of cables
Will it work with Ethernet cables??

The script is blocking your hand.
there is no link in the description, just FYI.
Much appreciated !
Very good
Awesome, thanks!
Good tutorial but your rotating the tool in the wrong direction.....it does make a difference to blade/spring longevity.
This is great information. We appreciate the tip
My antenna guy left this behind. Glad he did because he was an ass. Now the cutter is mine. Im gana cut me some cable
I was good up until the 3:23 mark, after that I got lost .
you definitelydon't want to start high!, you might end up stripping the wrong wire!!
Seriously
