PSA: stop stripping coax with your teeth, I learned the hard way in Tulsa
Bit through the jacket on a 12 foot run last Tuesday and spent 45 minutes re-terminating while the customer watched me with this look, you know the one. Anyone else have a weird habit they had to break after one stupid job, or am I the only former animal?

Cringed reading this because I’ve done the exact same thing, except it was with a pair of pliers I was too lazy to grab. Bit a chunk out of a line and then spent the whole afternoon fighting with a crimper that kept slipping. The customer just stood there sipping their coffee, not saying a word, but that silence was way worse than any look. I still catch myself bringing cable up to my mouth out of pure habit like some sort of raccoon. Took me three busted fittings and a bloody lip before I finally taped a cutter to my workbelt. You’re not the only former animal, trust me.
