I have RG59/U cable running in my attic that I needed to cut and terminate both ends. I cut out a two-foot section at the separation point, so I could run some tests before hand. After adjusting both blades a couple of turns tighter, I had the stripper working well on this cable. However, I could not insert the cable all the way through the back end of the connector, because the outer jacket was too tight. In the end, I had to use a razor blade to put 1 cm long slice from the end of the outer jacket parallel to the length of the cable. After that, the back end of the connector could slide between the outer jacket and the shield. I also tested it on a piece of RG6 cable, and it worked perfectly because the outer jacket was looser. I also used a toothbrush to brush the braided shield away from the center conductor, and that worked great.

The crimper works. The stripper worked the first couple of times, but fell apart before the single cable installation was completed. Sure, it isn't as costly as a quality tool, but it should have worked as described.

Poor quality and defective. I read through the manual from cover to cover and went very carefully through several youtube videos on how to use stripper and crimper tools for coax RG6, like this one. One of the videos demonstrated how to use this specific tool. But the one I received made only one cut, exposing the metal sheath, but did not make the second cut needed to expose the copper core. Second, the crimper did not produce a good connection, even when the metal sheath and white insulation were flush with the metal ring. I used this on a test cable and tried many, many times and could not get this to work. I will be buying a different tool after having wasted much time and energy on this cheap piece of garbage.

I received this order quickly and had no problems using it. The crimped connector fit tightly on the coax cable and, when connected to the tv, worked perfectly. The process to attach the connector to the cable is quite simple and with the included stripper and connectors, took only a minute.The crimper seems very well built. I really like this tool and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this because I could not find my termination kit that I purchased from my parts house years ago. I used it and so glad I got this one. The stripper works flawlessly and the crimper is so easy to use. The coax ends are well made. Kit was an overall great value and would definitely recommend to anyone.
