Hello guys (and gals). This is a quick question.
I just need to know the kind of tool and the method for stripping coax (the kind used to run cable-TV into a house, which I believe is 75-ohm) and attaching a screw-on type connector (the standard type that you find on the back of a TV set or cable box).
I already have one of those standard, inexpensive wire cutter/strippers with the yellow plastic-covered handles, but it does not appear purpose-built to handle anything with as much diameter as 75-ohm coax.
The straight stripper blades on the end would probably be okay for getting coax stripped, if I was careful, but I'd prefer getting a purpose-built coax stripper if there's such a thing selling for a reasonable price.
