The coax tooling/prep manufacturers don't do a very good job of matching up their products with coax types. Here's a breakdown of the stripping tools I use for crimp connectors. RG-8/RG-213, etc.: Paladin Tools Model #1256 RG-400, RG-58, RG-59, RG-8X: Paladin Tools # 1255 RG-174, RG-316: Paladin Tools #1258. Each can be configured for 2 or 3 level stripping (default as shipped is 3-level for most crimp connectors). For the actual crimping action, I recently purchased this set with the most used changeable dies for about USD $100: http://tinyurl.com/yf6ozje Paul, W9AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
