While we're on the topic of coax and RG-400....what would you guys recommend
as to a wire stripper tool? I got the Ideal Stripmaster for stripping
regular wire but need something for coax.
And while we're on wire...what would you recommend for a crimper?

My personal favorite stripper is offered by Gilchrist Electric at:
http://www.gilchrist-electric.com/3-blade-coax-cable-strip.php
They used to have an Ebay store but seem to have split
the sheets with Ebay. The link above goes directly to
their website. This is a 3-blade tool that comes with
the appropriate sized allen wrench to effect adjustment
of cutting depth for each blade. See the 3-Blade Stripper

I presume you're asking about coax crimpers . . . for
BNC connectors, you need a high-leverage, hard-die tool
with 0.068" and 0.213" pockets. This tool offered by
Radio Shack is one option:

as is the RCT-2 offered by http://bandc.biz
For the pre-insulated ring terminals, consider this
tool:
