Klein Tools VDV110-295 Combination Radial Stripper

One tool covers both. The Klein VDV110-295 radial stripper handles RG59 and RG6/6Q coax plus CAT3, CAT5/5e and CAT6/6A twisted pair. On the coax side it makes a two-level strip; on twisted pair it makes a single-level cut, and the high-carbon steel blades self-adjust to the jacket diameter so the internal conductors aren't nicked. For a low-voltage tech carrying one pouch for both cable TV and data drops, that's the point of the tool.

Yes. RG6Q quad shield (also sold as dual shield) is specifically covered, along with standard RG6 and RG59. Quad shield is where a lot of cheaper strippers bind up or tear the braid, so if you're doing satellite or CATV drops this is the one to reach for.

Coax strips come off at 5/16 inch (7.94 mm) and 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). A slide depth gauge lets you pre-measure the cable before you rotate, so every strip in a run comes out the same length, which is what keeps compression connectors seating consistently. Twisted pair strip length is variable rather than fixed.

Yes, and that's the feature that separates this model from a plain rotary coax stripper. There's an additional external blade built into the body that lets you slit the jacket mid-span or run it lengthwise to open a jacket without severing the cable. Useful when you need to tap an existing run or pull back a long section of jacket on a multi-pair.

There's no setting to get wrong on the twisted pair side. The precision high-carbon steel blades adjust themselves to the cable diameter, so the tool scores the jacket without cutting into the internal conductors on CAT3 through CAT6A. That matters most on CAT6A, where a nicked pair shows up as a failed certification test, not a visible fault.

It's a pocket tool. Overall length is 5.25 inches (13.3 cm), width 2.75 inches, height 0.75 inches, and it weighs about 0.094 lbs. It drops into a belt pouch or shirt pocket for ladder work rather than living in the bottom of a bag.

It's built for rotation with minimal grip. A finger loop on the body gives you smooth, easy turns around the cable, and there's a debris clean-out so shaved jacket and braid don't pack the cavity and stall it mid-job. The yellow and blue handle also makes it easy to spot if you set it down in a ceiling grid.
