Recommend me a good coax stripper, crimper

[eric©]

Work has authorized me to pick up a new coax stripper on the companies dime.  Looking for recommendations on what people like...

99% of my work is with RG-58 cable (I do mobile 2 way radio installs in vehicles for a large utility company).  Handling other sizes would be nice, but not required.  I want something that will strip both the sheath and center insulator in one step, with the fixed depth settings. 

Also looking for a crimper to handle mini uhf connectors typically used on commercial radios.  I don't have a set budget for these (was basically told to just get whatever I need), but I'm not looking to go absolutely crazy either just because work is picking up the bill.

This set has served me well: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=20878

If you do more than a few dozen terminations per day, look into a
Trompeter "flashlight" motorized centrifugal-blade stripper. They list
for about $1200 but show up on eBay for half that or less. It's a one-
step, just stick the cable into the end of the unit, push the button,
and wait about five seconds. You need a different head for each type
of cable, though, so most shops only have heads for their high-volume
work and still keep a manual set around for the onesie-twosies.
