Flaring coaxial cable end preparation tool and associated methods

A cable end preparation tool for a coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric therebetween, the cable end preparation tool comprising:

• a body;
• a blade carried by said body for removing a portion of the dielectric between the inner conductor and the outer conductor when said body is rotated about the coaxial cable;
• a first projection carried by said body, spaced apart from said blade, and having a predetermined shape for flaring an end portion of the outer conductor when said body is rotated relative to the coaxial cable;
• and
• a second projection being movable with respect to said body and said blade between an outer conductor engaging position and a disengaged position, said second projection for corrugating the flared end portion of the outer conductor when in the outer conductor engaging position and said body is rotated relative to the coaxial cable.
