Vent: Bought a cheap coax stripper that wrecked a whole day's work
Grabbed a 'pro' stripper for 15 bucks online thinking it would save me a few seconds per drop. The blade was so dull it just mashed the jacket and shield on every single line in a 12-unit apartment job. Had to go back and re-terminate all 24 ends, which took me three extra hours. Anyone know a stripper under 30 bucks that actually holds an edge?

That "pro" stripper story is why I just use a sharp utility knife now.

Honestly the real pro move is just scoring the drywall first with a knife, makes the stripper work way better.
