I have one of those automatic strippers with the clamp on the left and the blades on the right, with notches for 10-22ga wire. The largest notch works well for stripping the outer jacket of small coax. The other trick I've discovered is using the corkscrew on a Swiss Army knife to unbraid the shield. It's pointy but has smooth sides, so it teases the braid apart without nicking and breaking the strands. I'm sure that a dedicated coax stripper works better, but these are techniques born many years ago, from a small budget. :-) --Adam
