Hardline Coring and Stripping Tool for .500" Cable

Hardline Coring and Stripping Tool (HSC-50)

The HSC-50 Hardline Coring and Stripping Tool is engineered to handle 500 Series (1/2") COAX cables like Times Fiber T10 and Commscope P3 with ease and precision. This tool cores and strips in a single operation, streamlining cable prep for professional installations.

Designed for durability, the heavy-duty aluminum body houses high-carbon steel blades that are heat-treated for long-lasting sharpness. The ratcheting T-handle offers increased comfort and faster coring, and can be removed to attach a drill for even quicker operation—perfect for high-volume jobs.

Ideal for aerial and underground hardline cable work in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, this tool bevels the outer conductor, chamfers the center conductor, and exposes a 1" center conductor length with a total core and strip length of 3.50".

Replacement blades and coring bits are available separately, ensuring you can maintain the tool without replacing it entirely. The kit includes hex keys for blade changes and T-handle removal, plus a clear instruction manual.
