GATOR®

CENTER CONDUCTOR BEVELLER AND CLEANER

PRINT THIS
PAGE

An essential tool for preparing hard-line cables after coring, the Gator tool bevels the center conductor to prevent the connector's seizing mechanism from being damaged and scrapes away bonded dielectric to fully clean the center conductor.

THE GATOR ADVANTAGE

  • Removes burrs that can damage connectors
  • Cleans away bonded dielectric without scoring the center conductor
  • Includes reversible teeth that do not need sharpening
  • Fits comfortably in either hand

APPLICATIONS

The Gator is used on any hard-line cable after it has been stripped and cored to bevel and fully clean the center conductor.


SPECIAL FEATURES

An Integrated Beveller
Burrs at the end of a center conductor can damage the seizing mechanism of a connector, resulting in signal loss. Using the Gator beveller to remove the burrs is far better than making pyramid cuts. Made of carbide and located on the side of the Gator body, the beveller is always sharp and convenient. Beveling prior to scraping also prolongs the life of the Gator teeth.

Long-lasting Reversible Teeth
The Gator teeth remove all traces of the bonded dieletric without scoring the center conductor. Reversing the teeth exposes a second set of cleaning edges, which doubles the life of the scrapers. When both sides are worn, the teeth can be easily replaced.

An Ergonomic Body
Made of durable plastic, the Gator body fits comfortably in either hand. The tool is easy to use and offers exceptional performance over a long life.


WARRANTY

All Cable Prep brand tools are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material. The plastic GATOR body and the beveller have a lifetime warranty.
