## Description

Times Microwave combination manual cable preparation tool is made for use with 3/8 inch LMR-400 coaxial cable using crimp and clamp-style connectors. This cable hand prep tool joins a cable stripper tool and a cable trimming tool into one easy-to-use device.Prepare LMR-400 coax cable in two simple steps. First, insert the cable into side one, twist, cut, and expose the center conductor. Second, flip the tool around and insert the cable into side two. Twist and turn to expose the coax braid. This cable preparation tool has a built-in deburr tool and works with nearly all LMR-400 connectors.

Review: Fantastic prep tool - Very precise. Makes working with LMR-400 a breeze.
Review: Where was this tool 45 years ago? - I own this LMR400 prep tool as well as another one for LMR600 cable. While they are designed by Times Micro for their cables, they work very well with other cable brands of similar specification. Bottom line, with these tools, I can prepare a coaxial cable and install a crimp-on connector in less than a minute and a half. On my last project, I installed 10 LMR600 and 8 LMR400 connectors in approximately an hour and tem minutes. Two of the LMR600 terminations were 80' up a tower. I have been in the radio business for 45 years and have never found a stripping/prep tool this efficient. Put the coax in one end and give the tool 5-6 turns, Put the coax in the other end and do the same. The result is a perfectly stripped center conductor and shield. I would add that they have a very simple ring that you can use to tie the tool to your climbing harness. It does not interfere with operation of the tool !!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In the comments one person said this is not the tool for solder connections. Why not?**
A: You can use it for other connectors that are solder. I just double check measurements after stripping the cable and before soldering center pin.  I mainly use this tool on the Times EZ N type connectors which require no soldering.

**Q: Has anyone used this on 9913?**
A: If the specifications for 9913 are close enough to LMR400, then it should work.

**Q: Will it strip RG-8 correctly if needed?**
A: I have one and it only works on LMR-400 (Times Wire).  It is slightly different than RG-8, but the biggest problem for amateur use is that it is designed for N connectors.  It cuts the center conductor too short for a PL-259.  It is perfect for LMR-400 and N connectors.  DX Engineering has things you might like for RG-8.  Give them a call into their tech line.  The are great people and very knowledgable!  Hope this helped!

**Q: Does it work with lmr 400 ultra flex?**
A: It woks great with regular LMR400, as for ultra flex, I don't know.  However, last evening I was installing a new repeater and had to use some cable expert  coax that was similar to LMR400 and it worked great.    It is a great little tool and makes things so much easier than cutting and snipping.  Hope this helped!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes LMR400 so easy
*by A***R on September 19, 2021*

Makes prepping an LMR400 cable for crimp connectors so easy, you can almost do it in your sleep. 1-2 minutes max per termination, and you know that each layer of the cable will be cut to the correct length and the correct depth. Something about using this tool is so satisfying, it almost makes the job enjoyable.
