Preciva Compression Pliers Set, Crimping Pliers Stripping Tool RG59/RG6 with 20 Pieces Compression F-Connector for SAT Cable, Coaxial Cable

It's very very good

This system works well once you get the hang of it and identify the quirks.1. When making the first cut, line up the end of the cable with the outside edge of the cutter, or a bit beyond.2. Take care to steady the cable and cutter so that the cutter doesn't tilt as you rotate it around the cable.3. When making the last cut, repeat (2), but also use the edge of your finger to keep the orange cutter block from slipping sideways out of the cutter.4. If you want to remove the inner shield, you will have to use a craft knife, especially if there are strands of copper wire.5. Straighten the central core wire of the cable so that it is straight whatever angle you view it from.5. There is a sharp-ended tube inside the plug. That HAS to go between the outer covering of the cable and the shield around the cable. It will do that automatically IF you make sure the central core wire comes through the plug without fouling the inside of the front half, so check more than once.6. the cable and plug need to be pushed together firmly. If you are pushing on the silver ring at the cable end of the plug, the crimp section will start to collapse, so push the front part of the plug body.7. Check the insulation doesn't poke too far through the plug. A millimetre or so is OK, and flush is ideal.8. Crimping is easy if you take a moment to wiggle the assembled plug into position before squeezing the handles.9. Test the cable and plug with a multimeter to make sure there are no shorts.The end result is a nice neat firm assembly of cable and plug.

Just received this product today, I did 4 coax cable F connectors at home and they are all successful! All connectors provide good and solid high quality connections. I took it slowly on the first one because I've never used this kind of tools before. The rest of them were a breeze. Good solid product, great value for home use. This is not Klein Tools and might not survive heavy usages by a professional cable installer, but for home use it's more than suffices. For the price I paid, this is overvalue. I can see it lasting for years. Highly recommended.

I purchased this kit to make some properly sized connector cables for my TV cable distribution panel. The kit contains everything that you need including connectors, and everything is build solidly. I don' expect any problems in the foreseeable future.You DO have to know how to use these tools properly or you'll go down in flames. Here are some hints.The first thing is to make sure that the wire that you plan to use is the correct size. Older coax cable isn't thick enough. The simplest way to make sure you have the correct cable is to cut the end off, then slide it into the connector. The fit should be SNUG. If there's any side-to-side play AT ALL, you have the wrong size cable for the connectors that come with the kit. I included a photo that may help.Second, you have to strip the correct amount of the inner and outer jacket. For those of you that don't "do" metric, I've included a photo. Strip 5/8" of the outer jacket, and 1/2" of the inner insulator that will then be exposed.Third, when inserting the cable into the connector, push and twist until the white insulator is at the very end of the inner "tube" of the connector. That gets the outer jacket far enough into the connector for it to be captured when you compress the connector.If I were Preciva, I'd consider marking or etching measurements on either of the tools, to make getting the stripping measurements right a bit easier. That's a minor quibble, plus I have a Sharpie and i'm not afraid to use it.
