I am planning to get a RG6 cable stripper and compression tool. Looking at Ebay there are some good deals but I am wondering if it is possible for the stripper and compression tool to be incompatible?

For example: If I get this compression tool:

and this stripper:

as long as they are used for RG6, they should be compatible - right? or no?

Thanks in advance,

MC

These would be fine, but I wouldn't go ebay here. These are both inexpensive enough tools that I would just go to the local big box store and buy new - the stripper was currently going for $2.50 with $10 shipping and the thing is only going to cost you that total new (I paid $12.95 for mine at radio shack).
