Most of their "techs" are contractors, they use whatever is cheap and effective.
 
I use one of these. Works great but a bit pricey for jobs around the house. HD or Lowes have a compression tool made by Ideal that might be better for home use although I can't vouch for it's quality.
 
It's a compression "crimper." Much much better than the traditional hex crimper nonsense. I got mine from eBay, Zenith brand with 20 Thomas & Betts compression connectors for $25 shipped. Well worth the price, compression connectors are so much faster and cleaner. The cable stripper I got from another auction, don't remember the price, but I think it was around $5-6 shipped.

Here's the guy I got mine from: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/KTE-Inc__W0QQ_armrsZ1 The auctions don't look like they include a cable stripper, but you can pick one up cheap at harbor freight.
