Is it safe to assume RG6 cable strippers and cable connectors are going to be compatible?

Question

I am planning to get a RG6 cable stripper and compression tool. Looking at Ebay there are some good deals but I am wondering if it is possible for the stripper and compression tool to be incompatible?

For example: If I get this compression tool:

and this stripper:

as long as they are used for RG6, they should be compatible - right? or no?

Thanks in advance,

They don't need to be compatible with each other, just the coax>>

I have learned that there isn't a universal compression tool out there. Your connector needs to fit your compression tool.

We are eBay powersellers and we sell 2 different coax kits. The first one is a 3 in 1 compression tool + coax stripper + 25 - RG-6 Compression F Connectors.

The second kit is a 3 blade coax cable stripper, hex type F connector crimper and 50 - F connectors
