Klein Tools VDV110-061 Coaxial Cable Stripper with Radial Design for Enhanced Performance Review

This tool gives you what you pay for. A protective sleeve for measuring the correct length of coax cable is useful, but it's also too flimsy and gives "slack" when pressing on the cable in the socket. Overall it worked much quicker and cleaner than the cheap wire stripper that came with my coax crimp tool and I think it will have a few more uses so it's still worth buying at this price point. Update: It doesn't seem to be working very well a week after I used it for the first time. I had to use

Works great, that is when it works, which it most often does. I've used it maybe twenty times and turned down about a dozen of those cuts on the first or second try. My recommendation is to make sure the coax is *safely* pulled out to the sliding stop, keep applying pressure, and then twist it 5 or 6 times while holding that pressure. (Well, apply a little pressure—a swab will help.) Also, make sure the segment of coax cable you want to strip is really straight, about two or three inches from…

So make sure you use this correctly, or you could end up stripping the contents of the cable instead of just stripping off the outer sheath and leaving the aluminum and cotton protection around the cable that you need to…

Haven't tried the puller yet and will soon, but I have it is already strictly marked because the packaging can hardly be opened. It looks like Klein Tools doesn't want their product used. Even with heavy poultry shears, he withstood cutting like steel. When I opened it, I cursed the blue bar. I hope the packaging engineer who created this packaging is surrounded by thousands of fleas! Later: After the scathing complaint about the packaging above, I used a wire stripper and it works well…
