I found the following in the back pages of QST. ALWAYS a good place to
start.
DX Engineering has this stuff. They sell a rather unusual style of
cable stripping tool, the DXE UT-8213 stripper for 0.405" OD cable and
the UT-808X for RG-8X size cable. See their web site for a list of
cables which they will handle.
To see how to use it check out http://orcadxcc.org/ and look under Tech
Tips for how to use it for RG-213 and LMR-400. The same method should
apply for RG-8X.
DXE will sell you a crimping tool which will work for both coax and
Anderson Power Poles.
They have Amphenol Connex 182115-10 UHF Male Crimp Connectors for RG-8X
Also, Quicksilver Radio has this stuff. They'll even sell you a tool
kit with strippers for RG58 size cable and the .405" dia. cables, a
crimper for both coax and Power Poles and a coax cutter.
Who needs a coax cutter? If you don't already have one, you do. They
cut the coax very cleanly and leave it nice and round so you don't have
problems fitting the connector. The same cannot be said for side
cutters or hack saws (or, shudder, cold chisels).

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
Thanks & 73,
Dick, K2ZR
