Sometimes the right tool makes all the difference.

This is a great tool. It does everything I need it too. Having the right tool for the job is a must. The website states it comes with unlimited tech support. Trust me when I say that’s a better value than anything else!

This an absolutely great company and their support staff are amazing. I’ve worked in customer service most of my life. They have gone above and beyond any expectations I had. If I didn’t know any better I’d say they have been listening to the Jocko Podcast. GOOD.

Times Microwave All-In-One LMR-600 Prep Tool

This is an excellent tool, well worth the investment, and right out of the box did a superior job of preparing the LMR600 cable for my 13 antenna install.

LMR400 Prep tool

The prep tool was used to optimize the coax lengths for a repeater installation. This tool made the coax termination SO much easier! Since the LMR400 has both braid and foil shielding trying to cut through the very stiff outer jacket without damaging the shield braid is nearly impossible. With this tool it is a no brainer. I used the excess coax as a practice piece before prepping the actual coax. Getting the end of the coax square is critical in making a clean cut and crimp. Since I did not have a proper cable cutter I used a utility knife to cut through the shielding and inner insulation, then a small pair to dykes to make a clean cut on the center conductor. Making the first cut for the center conductor was a bit of a learning curve. Taking your time to slowly rotate the cutter as it works it's way through the shield and insulation is key. After a few practice rounds on the scrap coax the actual prep was a breeze. The installation of the crimp ends is not clearly described in the prep tool documentation. I put the crimp sleeve and heat shrink on before beginning the process after having difficulty getting it on over the expanding braid. After the end of the coax is prepped, the connector is slipped on between the foil and the braid making sure to fully seat the connector, so the center conductor is inserted into the male tip of the N connector. Slide the crimp sleeve over the braid and crimp. Then the heat shrink sleeve is slipped over the crimp and heated. This makes prepping LMR400 coax a breeze. I have not tried it on 9913 or RG-8 yet, but it should work just as well on those.
