Anyone using the butane powered irons?

For  stripping coax  I broke my piggy bank and spent  $25 on a stripper from
cable x-perts.      It has 2 slugs, 1 for RG-8 size and 1 for RG-6 size
coax.  Each slug has 2 preset blades.    A few turns of the tool and both
cuts are made to the proper depth.  Using other methods for stripping, I
always manage to turn a 50 foot length of coax into a 48 footer.   I figure
that life's too short, just get the right tool.
