Also, get yourself one of these. Once you dial it in for your wire thickness it makes stripping the wires easy without knicking the underlying conductors. Will save you tons of frustration!

You're welcome. Paladin (and their cheaper entry-level Datashark brand) also has some decent offerings if you want something more "name brand" but still inexpensive.
Paladin:
Crimpers
Stripper
Tester
The Paladin stripper works really well; I think I prefer that one to the cheap Monoprice one I purchased (though it gets the job done). Both are adjustable for different thickness wire / sheathing.
Datashark:
Crimpers
Striper
Tester
The Datashark crimpers lack a ratcheting mechanism, so I'm not a huge fan of them, but a coworker owns a pair and they work fine. The testers from both are nearly identical, and don't really offer any more functions than the cheap no-name import ones do (except perhaps a better warranty).
Does it have to be from Aliexpress? I have these for round and flat CAT cable. I don't really use the coax stripper part of it, I have better strippers for that..
Yeah, I do have one quick question. I see 9u, 6u, and maybe even a couple others. What does this mean and how can I make sure I'm getting the right sizes so everything fits? At first I thought these were model numbers. That Tripp Lite model is one I had found on Amazon with casual searching.
Okay, 2 questions. I looked up datashark cable stripper on amazon and see several different results. Is it this one?
Hah.. 3 questions. What do you mean by "provide it with an earth ground"? How do I do that?
