Nice, but the seller of the stripper does not ship to Australia and the seller of the crimper "may not ship to Australia"! So much for the Australia - US Free Trade Agreement!

My favorite coax stripper is still available
on eBay . . . price is higher but still a bargain
for what it accomplishes . . .

A ratchet handle tool with .213 and .068
hex dies is also available

I've wired 5 RV's over the last 10 years without any problem, with the crimp on
type!

Agree about the 'twist on' connectors . . .
UG-88 are good but I've not used one in a new installation
in about 40 years. In fact, I think I threw some out about 10
years ago . . . not useless but just a pain in the a## compared
to a modern crimp on.
