A rotatable tool for cutting and stripping insulation from coaxial cable to expose the conductors of the cable for attachment to a connector, comprises a housing containing spaced grooves extending transversely across the axis of rotation of the tool, each of the grooves containing a pair of opposed cutter blades. A central bore is provided coaxial with the axis of rotation through which a length of cable to be cut and stripped is inserted. Springs are provided for urging the cutting edges of the blades apart so that the cable can be passed between them without being cut. A race at the exterior of the housing is slidable back and forth in the axial direction and normally held in a neutral position by the spring action. When the race is moved axially in one direction, it functions to push one set of cutter blades toward each other to make a first cut which results in exposing a short length at the end of the central conductor and when the race is pushed in the other direction, it makes a second cut which cuts through the outer insulation and the outer conductor to the outer surface of the inner insulation. The part of the cable between each cut and the end of the cable can then be stripped off so that a conventional connector can be attached.
