The coax tooling/prep manufacturers don't do a very good job of matching up 
their products with coax types.   Here's a breakdown of the stripping tools 
I use for crimp connectors.

RG-8/RG-213, etc.:   Paladin Tools Model #1256
RG-400, RG-58, RG-59, RG-8X:   Paladin Tools # 1255
RG-174, RG-316:  Paladin Tools #1258.

Each can be configured for 2 or 3 level stripping (default as shipped is 
3-level for most crimp connectors).

For the actual crimping action, I recently purchased this set with the most 
used changeable dies for about USD $100:
