I use to braid coax for Belden and their cable was garbage. The supervisors would tell me to send out bad coax. They said they just needed to get it out and it didn't matter if it was bad, money and shipment was more important. Especially if it was sent to 3rd world countries. This is when I was doing inspections. Timesmicrowave is 10 times better then Belden.
The tools are still expensive for the everyday ham. I was able to acquire a new prep tool on Ebay for $65 and the crimp tool for $50. Trying to source the connectors now.

Does this stripping tool works with Ultra Flex strained LMR cables?
so, how do you do an N-Connector on LMR-400 that you have to solder?
Impressive engineering work Kevin!

Beautiful! I need a supplier for the cable and tools in France !
How come the tools are so expensive? That round blue thing is like $104 on Amazon and it just looks like little piece of plastic.
Wish you posted links to all the parts/tools used in this video
google cct-02 cst-400 ct-300\400
Thanks for posting. The cost of these tools for the individual ham radio operator is way too high. Nice system though.

What is the make and model of the bnc connector you are using?
We need llinks to find the tools your speaking of? Why advertise them without providing us a link?
Agree, nice tools,. but online just found the stripper. Not found on manufacturers website either.
What’s the part number for the x-series connector?
What connector is that one ? I know it N male. I see it doesn't need soldering. Can someone please send a link from where to buy ? Thanks
Do you have a new tool for the LMR400UF because this tool does not work properly on the outer sheath it's to rubbery?
Can we use it with RG213 and RG214 cables as well?
you got a part number for the weather boot ?
For LMR 400 the # is 3109-394. DX Engineering sells the boots for $20.00 for a 10 pack. WSB series weather seal boot.
Costs $500 just to put ends in it. Man , when will the r&d costs go down? Looks like I’ll be buying 213 from now on.
I just bought 40ft of LMR 400 Ultra Flex with the ends, shipped to my door from the Antenna Farm for $120. I was very satisfied.
Whats the total cost for the tool setup?
Right around $300 for the tools.
CCT-02 cutting tool - $45
CST-400 prep tool - $100
CT-300/400 crimp tool - $150
Crimping is cheating.
