Hi folks,



Recently there was a TT Thread inquiry about coax cable strippers. 
Associated with stripping is

"clean/concentric result" cutting and braid trimming.  Also crimping.



Previously I  searched high and low for the best tools available; and we 
have them.



STRIP TOOL:  ONE STEP, no changing blades or reinserting the coax, etc., 
three blade, quick, clean cuts and the blades last almost forever.  Used in 
production lines.  LESS COST ($ 12 less for the Large one)  vs the other, 
2nd best brand, formerly  thought the best available.



   NOTE:  formerly our mfr. made one for all cables up to .405" OD.  Just 
recently they must have hired a marketing major as now they are selling 2 
models:



The "Small Stripper":   One model is now for "small cables", 3 blades : 
does 8X,  RG's: 58, 58a, 58c, 55, 55a , 59, 59b, 71, 62, 223, 142, 142b, 
400, 303, LMR's: 195, 200,240, etc , and all others, .195" OD  up to .240" 
OD .  $ 26.00 each



The "Large Stripper" one, 3 blades, for 8X , RG's: 6, 8,11, 59, 59b, 62, 
213, Bury-Flex T, 9913, 9913F7,9092, etc. , all Cable OD's   .240"   up to 
.405".

         $ 29.00 each ($ 12 less than the 2nd best type on market.)





Either stripper does RG-59, RG-6 and 8X.



Both are ONE STEP, no changing blades or reinserting the coax, etc.  There 
is an easy adjustment, with supplied/carried by the stripper, alan wrench, 
when some cut depths need to be varied depending on the coax type.



 Note:  For pictures of any tools herein, or questions, please see last line 
below before contacting me.  Tnx.



Cable cutters:



 Excellent, stainless steel, I've had one for many years and it isn't at all 
dull.  Made in Italy.  Your cable cut ends up concentric, important to the 
physics of the electrical characteristics.



SMALL JAW SIZE:  8X , RG's:6, 196,178,316,RG58, 223,142, 400, etc.   LMR's: 
195/200/240

and any cable up to .240" OD ):         $  8.95



LARGE JAW SIZE:    Bury-Flex T, LMR400, 9913, 9913F7, 9914,RG's: 
6,62,/8/9/213/214/11.   9913//9096/9086/FSJ-1/4, LDF4,  and ALL OD's to MAX 
.4155 INCH



Stripper for LMR-600:



TIMES  stripper:   I believe that we have the best price available, to my 
best knowledge unless you have a large discount from Times or another one of 
their suppliers. Unfortunately, there is no alternative to this product, 
that I know of:



           ST-600C ST Tools   Prep tool for LMR-600 CLAMP style
  Times  connectors   20% OFF TIMES LIST !!:  *DAVIS RF PRICE:

 $  88.00 ea *

            ST-600EZ ST Tools  Prep tool for LMR-600 CRIMP (EZ type)
 Times connectors    20% OFF TIMES LIST !!:   * DAVIS RF PRICE:

$  78.89 ea  *

All above prices not including UPS ship charges.  No S&H charges (Note: all 
orders for tools must go to my attention at my #, not to the 800 #).  Prices 
good 30 days or longer if our costs remain the same (likely will for a 
while).



NOTE:  the large coax stripper, the small cutter, and the Times LMR 600 
stripper, have been purchased from us by a prominent member on this 
reflector. If you want his reference, let me know and I will ask his 
permission to note him, off the reflector, or to make a copy of any 
reference he may want to provide direct to me.

 Suffice it to say, I sell no product unless I am sure that it will highly 
satisfy an astute ham or commercial entity (and if you 'ain't astute', then 
I will try to help you.... HI HI)



    Contact me if interested.  I can send you pics of the above items . 
Please  bear with me as may take me a couple days to respond...where this 
isn't on our web site yet to check out, email backup will occur.



          Need a crimper tool with changeable die sizes??  We've got the 
best, production quality, at lowest price.
