Cable Prep CPT-6590 Drop/Coax Cable Stripper, Two RG6/59 Blades
The Cable Prep® CPT-6590 is a drop cable stripping tool for single through quad shielded RG6 and RG59 cable. CPT stripper is factory calibrated to remove the right amount of cable jacket, cut braid and dielectric to 1/4" length, and expose the center conductor (1/4" minimum) in one smooth operation. Coax cable stripper has a patented cleanout feature and a replaceable cartridge with steel blades for up to 5000 uses. The notched blade in the cartridge eliminates the risk of scoring the center conductor and cuts through the jacket, braid, foil and dielectric leaving the center conductor exposed. The shallow blade cuts through only the jacket of the cables.
The CPT-6590 cable stripper includes an extra RBC-6590 black cartridge (304X610).

The CPT body is comfortable to hold and easy to operate with either hand. Because jacket, braid, and dielectric are cut with one simple motion, cables can be prepared quickly and easily. Made of the highest quality steel, CPT blades ensure optimum performance over a long life. Each cartridge can prepare 2,500 - 5,000 cables, depending on braid coverage. The patented cleanout feature of the CPT tool automatically removes excess jacket, braid, and dielectric from the tool after stripping. Rugged enough for the toughest jobs, lightweight CPT tools offer consistent, precision performance even under harsh conditions.
The cartridge must be replaced when the blades are dull. Depending on the cable you are using, the number of cuts per blade cartridge varies. For best performance the blade should be kept free of any debris or floodant residue. If you see that the cut is not as clean, the braid is straggled, or the tool takes more revolutions to cut - REPLACE THE CARTRIDGE IMMEDIATELY. While holding the tool, depress the lever and grasp the cartridge on both sides. Then pull cartridge straight down and out. Reverse this process for cartridge installation and then snap the cartridge in place. Move fingers away from cartridge and let go of lever.
