IDEAL 45-520 3-Blade Adjustable Coax Stripper, Black Cartridge

Get consistent, professional coax preparation for security, surveillance and networking projects with the IDEAL Industries 45-520 3-Blade Adjustable Coax Stripper. This crimping & punch down tool delivers precision stripping by allowing each of the three blades to be individually adjusted—perfect when working with thicker jackets, thinner dielectrics or 50-ohm cables where standard 1/4" x 1/4" preps fail. Designed for RG58, RG59, RG6, RG6 Quad and many RG11 cables, the tool creates a reliable ~1/4" strip and can be converted to a 2-blade configuration when needed.

A top-side slider quickly changes the V-notch for different diameters while the hex wrench stored in the handle enables fast, exact blade-depth tuning. Spring-loaded handles secure the conductor during 5–7 rotations to avoid nicks and ensure proper compression connector fit. Rugged, US-made construction stands up to daily use on CCTV, monitoring and broadband installs. Streamline your coax termination workflow—add the IDEAL 45-520 to your toolkit for faster, more reliable cable prep on every job.
