Default Good quality coax stripping tool

Hey all - I need some advice on a good coax stripping tool. I have
been doing them by hand all my life. I'd like to get a tool that has
replacement blades that can do the job fast and perfect. AIM is the
only brand I see the ham radio catalogs...are they good? I want one to
do the RG8 and RG58 sizes. -Scott, WU2X

I use an Exacto knife, a dental pick to part the braid, and manicure
scissors to trim it.

My technique precisely Bob- have you been spying?

I had tried some 3 step strippers years back. Results varied a lot with
cable manufacturer and never were as good as I could do w/ Bob's method.

The local electronics store, Atex, sells dental picks, and the cuticle
scissors were a tip from the Wireman's Wirebook.
