What is it? Some sort of wire stripper I think. . .

So I picked up these two little buggers from the bottom of a rental man lift today at one of our job sites. We don't normally have rentals but my division's were down for PM and a job popped up, so Murphy's law. I always stop by the site to scope things out and saw these laying down there.

They are marked "PPC SP-1/2-UNIVD 2711. The best I can tell is they are some sort of stripper wire for telecom according to google. Anyone have any layman's terms knowledge?

Coax cable coring tools. 1/2" is referred to as .500 coax cable.

Oh that's pretty cool! These one have that 1/4 hex on one end, so I'm assuming you run it with a drill instead of your paws? I dont know that I'll ever need to strip any coax, but damn it, I'll be ready now if I do! lol

They come with a ratcheting handle but guys that do a lot of piece work take the hand crank off and run it with a drill.

I had never even seen one of the strippers, had to go watch the you tube video.
Thanks for the education.
