Coaxial Stripping Tool ShiverPeaks 85000-5 — for precise cable preparation

The ShiverPeaks 85000-5 coaxial stripping tool is a handheld manual instrument designed for precise cable preparation. It enables controlled removal of the outer jacket and dielectric of coaxial cables to obtain accurate strip lengths and clean conductor exposure for connector installation and termination. The tool is compact and intended for both fieldwork and workshop use where reliable signal connections depend on consistent stripping performance.

Advantages

The stripping tool offers repeatable, precise cuts that reduce the risk of conductor damage and provide uniform strip lengths for improved connector fit. Its manual design requires no power source, making it suitable for on-site use and locations without electricity. Constructed for straightforward handling, the tool supports faster preparation of multiple cables compared with improvised methods and minimizes rework due to uneven or nicked conductors.

Suitable for

• Preparing coaxial cables for connector installation and termination
• Field service and maintenance tasks on antenna, broadcast, and networking systems
• Workshop and bench work where consistent strip lengths are required
• Situations requiring portable, non-powered stripping tools

Key specifications

• Type: Manual handheld coaxial stripping tool
• Function: Controlled removal of outer jacket and dielectric for connector-ready conductors
• Form factor: Compact, portable design for field and workshop use
• Material and finish: Durable construction for repeated use (tool body and cutting elements designed for longevity)
• Compatibility: Intended for common coaxial cable sizes used in RF, broadcast, and data applications

How to use

Select the appropriate cable position and insert the coaxial cable into the tool according to the required strip length. Close or clamp the tool as designed to engage the cutting elements, then rotate or actuate the tool following the manufacturer's alignment marks to score and remove the outer jacket and dielectric without nicking the center conductor. After cutting, withdraw the removed sections and inspect the exposed conductor and braid to ensure clean, undamaged surfaces prior to connector assembly.

Recommendations

Use the tool on cables within its compatible size range and perform test strips on a scrap length before preparing production or critical cables. Keep cutting elements clean and replace them if wear affects strip quality. Store the tool in a dry place and avoid excessive force that could damage the conductor or the tool itself.
