Full details
This Silverline Coaxial Cable Stripper is designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts who need to quickly and precisely strip RG58/59/6/62/3C2V/5C2V coaxial cables. Its key benefit is the simultaneous stripping of the sheath and inner core with adjustable double blades, ensuring a clean and efficient preparation for connector installation. A potential caveat is the need for initial blade adjustment, which requires the included hex key.

FAQs
What types of coaxial cables can this stripper be used on?
This stripper is designed for RG58, RG59, RG6, RG62, 3C2V, and 5C2V coaxial cables.
What is the stripping diameter range?
The stripping capacity ranges from 4mm to 12mm in diameter.
Do I need to buy any tools to adjust the blades?
No, a hex key for easy blade adjustment is included with the stripper.
How do I ensure I don't cut the inner conductor?
Carefully adjust the blades using the hex key. Start with a shallow cut and increase depth gradually, testing on a scrap cable until only the outer sheath is removed without damaging the inner conductor or braiding.
Can the blades be replaced if they become dull?
Yes, the blades are designed to be replaceable. The hex key can be used to remove and replace them.
What is the overall length of the tool?
The tool has an overall length of 100mm.
Is this tool suitable for data cables other than coaxial?

Troubleshooting
Blades not cutting through the sheath
Ensure the blades are properly adjusted using the hex key. Tighten the adjustment screw slightly to increase cutting depth. Check if the cable diameter is within the 4-12mm range.
Stripping too deep, damaging inner wires
Loosen the blade adjustment screw to decrease the cutting depth. Test on a scrap piece of cable and adjust until only the outer sheath is cleanly removed.
Uneven stripping
Ensure the cable is inserted straight and centered in the stripper. Check for debris in the cutting mechanism that might be obstructing smooth operation. Verify blade sharpness and adjust as needed.
Difficulty removing the stripped section
Rotate the stripper gently around the cable after stripping. Ensure the outer sheath has been fully severed all the way around.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, identify the type of coaxial cable you are working with. Insert the cable into the stripper, ensuring it is seated properly within the cutting grooves. Use the included hex key to adjust the blades. Rotate the adjustment screw until the blades are set to lightly score the outer sheath without cutting into the braiding or dielectric. Test the strip on a scrap piece of cable, making further micro-adjustments as needed.
Compatibility: This stripper is compatible with RG58, RG59, RG6, RG62, 3C2V, and 5C2V coaxial cables, with a stripping capacity of 4mm to 12mm in diameter.
Care: Keep the stripper clean and dry. After use, brush away any debris from the blades and cutting mechanism. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. If the blades become dull, they can be replaced using the hex key.
