I'm looking for a good tool to strip rg59/rg6 wires. I have one now but it only removes about 1/8inch of the insulation that covers the outer braid. I always have to remove a bit more by hand. So I'm looking for a tool that allows me to adjust the width of the blades so that I can set it up to cut about 1/4" of the insulation.

Would this tool be adjustable?

Yes, that one allows you to remove the blades and has multiple slots to reinsert them at different spacings. Most better tools will do this.

It might have an allen wrench that you can use to set the height adjusment of the blade to better match the cable that you work with.

Thank you for the replies. Yeah I knew it had the allen wrench to adjust the height, but I needed to know if I can also adjust the blade widths. Looks like it does it. I'll pick one up.
