Coax Cable Crimper Elibbren Coaxial Compression Tool Kit with Wire Stripper Tool F RG6 RG59 Connectors of 10PCS

Spend a little more money on better quality. Lowest price I could find. Worked great on two connectors. Sat crimp tool down and it fell apart when I picked it up to install 3rd connector. One of the two pins that fell out would normally stay in but the one main pivot pin was never crimped or made in such a way so that it would not fall out. I am able to put it back together and complete the other two connectors BUT the pin can still fall out.

It got the job done but that is where it stops. It came without instructions. Not really an issue with the exception of the strippers, which have adjustments that I don’t really know what they are. But, it didn’t matter because they broke the very first time I used them. The crimper came with part of the plastic bent which may not or may not have affected the use. The ends barely fit into the crimper plus, 3 of them malfunctioned before I finally got one to work. The metal around the crimped section broke on one, the plastic crimped part failed on the other 2.

Received this one day prime and couldn't be happier. Like one other I sacrificed the first try and cut off the end and succeeded on all my connections. There are instructions (if you call it that) but they are very poor. Adjusting the stripping blades and using the tool the first time just is a bit of trial and error. If you need the exact number of ends they ship, you probably need one or two more. Still, this was very good value for the money for me and provided everything I needed (parts and tools) to complete my tasks. Would suggest when using the compression tool to get the end on that you gradually squeeze the tool. The first one I tried I did it with a abrupt immediate force and it did not work.

This kit is a very affordable option for anybody needing to do some coax work. Make sure you look up a youtube video on how to use the stripper as it requires some setup to get it right. Also when fitting the connector, push while twisting it until the white tip is flush with the opening, then when compressing ensure that you squeeze a little bit at a time. Great tool for a great price although it doesn’t feel super solid so I would avoid abusing it (dropping it on the floor etc)

Even though I bought this took-kit a few months ago to put a F-connector on my 20-year old unused attic cable, I chickened from doing it because of all the reviews about broken clamps or not fitting etc. I was happy with my 150-mile antenna stuck above my closet with thin-coaxial cable routed/hidden behind the floorboards. I finally decided to try my luck and went up the attic, and got the cable down and literally followed the instructions on YouTube from another DIYer. It was a RG6 cable that was nailed to beams and silicon-ed all the way to distribution panel in basement. The orange quadrangle in the cutter is the one which allows you to choose which size cable to cut and there is an Allen wrench to help with blade height. Cutting the cable properly required three tries, including pulling back the sheathing and then the crimper (which seemed solid to me) took one hard clamp to make it work. The hard part was pushing the RG6 cable into the F-connector, as it was fatter than the provided connectors and I just shaved off slight edges of the exterior material before finally pushing it in. Then I used an existing antenna (recently gave up cable after 25-years) and pulled it into my distribution panel. Perfect fitting and it worked. All together it took me 15 minutes to learn and fix one end of the RG6 cable. So yes its a recommended product for few jobs like this (occasional ones and not for every-day use).

One of the ends of a 100 foot coax cable I purchased fell off. I really didn't want to return the cable and rewire every thing, so I ordered this kit.Many reviews I read of kits like these said to watch Youtube videos showing how to use the tools to make an RG6 coax cable connector. They were right. Seeing it done is very helpful. That said the instructions in this kit are good.The stripping tool did a nice job of trimming the insulation. I was using quad cable, so the connector was a tight fit and I needed to trim away some of the little wires so I could push the connector on to the end of my cable. I didn't trim them completely away, (per one of the instruction videos) so I would get a snug secure fit when I applied the compression tool.End result was a secure end that functioned well. And I have 9 connectors left!

The build quality isn't at the point where I would recommend you buy this if you're frequently needing a tool. But something nicer.If you're like me where I bought a new house, and basically just wanted to run some coax to each room, and shorten/clean up some shorter cables. This is perfect. The cutting tool cut clean and easy on every single cable I used it on. The compression tool snapped every tip on with ease. I don't know how long it will last, but I was able to do everything I needed, and is still good to go if I need to move a few things in the future. At this price, well worth it.

If you are looking for a professional tool that you are going to use day after day...this is not it...but this isn't supposed to be that. This is a fine home DIY tool. I used all 10 of the included connectors successfully. However, my home is wired with Quad-Shielded Coax, and that technically should use special connectors...still, I made these work, but they're not really designed for Quad Shielded cable...keep that in mind. It takes a lot of twisting and straining to make the connectors that came with this tool work...but they will work!Read some articles or watch some Youtube videos if you are having trouble, this is a fine kit for the occasional DIY home owner, and if that's what you're looking for, this should fit the bill nicely!
