Best tool ever. Strip and crimp one tool. Replaceable blades, durable, I have used for at least 15 years.
[Link: amazon.com]I have been using the Thomas Betts stripper/crimper since the mid 90's. Best RG 6 strip/crimp tool period. I even use it when stripping RG6 that will get a BNC or RCA. Then i use my liberty crimper to put the connectors on.
I typically only use the RG6 tool at trim out for wall plates or the rack. Then it goes back in my bag. The IT-1000 is a sturdy tool (i have one that is 15 years old) and i have only had to change the blade once. It can crimp most of the compression fit F connectors you can find on the market.

Will that one crimp RCA too or only F connectors?
Only F

What do you use to strip cat wire?
Just curious, because that looks like a nice tool and has great reviews.
The one I posted strips rg-6 / rg-59 / category / outer jacket of speaker wire
I use the cheapo bonded pair separator tool. I haven't run into bonded pair cable in a long time but it used to be more common. The nice thing about this tool is there are no adjustments. You just take it around the cable and it scores the jacket and you can easily remove it.
