Bought a cheap coax stripper from a truck stop and it cost me a whole afternoon
It was one of those three dollar plastic things near the cash register. The blade was dull right out of the package and kept crushing the braid instead of cutting it clean. I had to re-terminate six drops in an apartment building because the connections were all junk. Anyone have a stripper under twenty bucks that actually holds up?

Ugh, those plastic strippers are the worst. But hey, at least it was only six drops. Could have been a whole building, right?

That six drop re-terminate sounds like a nightmare.

Read something the other day about someone using a cheap punch down tool on a re-terminate like this and it totally mangled the pairs. Sounds like a quick way to add more headaches if you're not careful.
