Coaxial Cable Stripping Tool ShiverPeaks 85000-6 — adjustable depth for RG coax cables

The ShiverPeaks 85000-6 coaxial cable stripping tool is a handheld instrument designed for precise removal of the outer jacket, braid and dielectric on RG-type coax cables. Its adjustable cutting depth accommodates different conductor and insulation diameters commonly found in TV, satellite and data coax installations. The tool features an ergonomic housing to support stable handling and to help maintain consistent strip length for repeatable terminations.

Advantages

The adjustable depth control allows fine tuning to match specific cable constructions without damaging the inner conductor. The compact, handheld design provides stable grip and straightforward operation for field use. Blades and cutting surfaces are positioned to deliver clean, consistent strips of outer jacket, braid and dielectric, reducing the need for post-strip cleanup. The design supports a range of RG coax sizes, minimizing the need for multiple dedicated tools.

Suitable for

• Preparation of RG coax cables for TV and satellite installations
• Termination and connector fitting during on-site repairs
• Maintenance and testing of coaxial data links and antenna feeds

Key specifications

• Tool type: handheld coaxial cable stripper with adjustable depth
• Compatible cable types: RG-series coaxial cables (various diameters)
• Functions: removes outer jacket, braid/shield and dielectric to expose inner conductor
• Adjustment: variable cutting depth to suit different insulation and conductor sizes
• Design: ergonomic housing for improved grip and consistent strip length

How to use

Place the coaxial cable into the tool’s stripping slot and set the cutting depth to match the cable diameter. Rotate the tool or the cable according to the tool’s design while maintaining light, even pressure to score the outer jacket and dielectric. Remove the scored jacket and braid, then check the exposed dielectric and inner conductor for nicking or damage. Repeat adjustment if needed to achieve the required strip length for the connector being fitted.

Usage recommendations

Use the adjustable depth setting to prevent damage to the inner conductor; inspect blade condition regularly and replace if cutting becomes uneven. For best results, test the tool on a sample length of the same cable type before proceeding with critical terminations.
