One comment about my coax prep totally fixed my signal loss issues

Honestly, I was getting signal loss on about 1 in 10 installs for months and couldn't figure out why. Then a senior guy at a job site in Phoenix pointed out I wasn't stripping the dielectric back far enough before attaching the connector. He showed me his trick of using a $10 Klein tool to get exactly 3/8 inch exposed every time. Has anyone else had a simple prep change fix their intermittent signal problems?

That Klein tool is a lifesaver, I had a similar thing with a weird cable tester issue that turned out to be the connector type I was buying lol.

Funny how the smallest thing like a connector can wreck your whole day.
