Tools and Hardware Reviews of Paladin 1257 LC CST 2-Level Coax Stripper, RG59/RG6/RG6-Quad

Customer Review: There's 3 other models in the LC CST series...
Summary: 4 Stars

Per Paladins' website, the 1257 is clearly a 2-level 1/4" x 1/4" stripper, preset for RG-6. I assume they're just using a common body for the 4 models in this Econo line, hence the *missing* 3rd blade. If you want a 3-level stripper for RG-6, look elsewhere.

In testing this on a scrap of Chinese-made Radio Shack RG6, the blade depth settings were precisely on target. No nicking at all of the center conductor or the shielding.

Since I'm forced to also have to deal with legacy RG59 junk, I'll have to buy a second one and adjust it for the '59. I don't want to have to waste time going back and forth on the settings.

Minus 1 star for crappy instructions. They say to rotate the tool "clockwise" when in fact it's *counterclockwise. Also not shown is the location of the included adjustment hex key: (bottom of the squeeze handle).
