I use these Klein strippers.
I'm an elevator mechanic, so I handle tons of wiring from 22AWG to 3/0AWG.
For 22-10AWG, I love these. I mostly strip 18, like hundreds of them.
I took off the spring and the wire sizing nut and just go by feel. With enough experience you'll be able to feel when you've broken through the jacket only.
Its on the you tubes, Youll need a bnc male and a bnc female twist on connector and a thin wire cutter stripper like this https://www.amazon.com/Stripper-Stranded-Klein-Tools-1003/dp/B000V6W5QU/ref=sr_1_29?crid=1ESPB45V40HUJ&keywords=wire%2Bcutter%2Bstriper&qid=1564051442&s=gateway&sprefix=wire%2Bcutter%2Bstr%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-29&th=1 You can use scissors but as someone who has done probably 50000 reconnects this is what we use.

You can get all of these at HD, LOWES, maybe even walmart.
The hardest part is peeling back the layers to get it ready youll trim the outer layer back an inch, then pull the shielding back over that. then with the little notch on the cutters trim the core insulation back about 1/2 an inch leaving 1/2 inch of the core wire exposed. Then twist the connectors on, wrap with e-tape. connect them together.
There are tons of videos on youtube. and references on cutting the coax.
I do not like the type of wire strippers in OP's links.
I prefer this style for most everything
and these for electronics and panel work.
If that helps...
