Review on πŸ”§ Complete Klein Tools VDV002-818 Coax Install and Test Kit: Includes Crimp Tool, Tester, Stripper, and Universal F Connectors by Chris Reddick

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Small tutorial video is missing

Was wondering if I should give it 4 or 5 stars. So easy to use and solid connection BUT there is no official small video on how to use it (cut). I had to go to another video to find out how to use it. I was annoyed by the fact that I was trying to do exactly what Klein was demonstrating on the video step by step in slow mode over and over again. Klin video. ERNST Klein, take 3 seconds to show the damn setup. Once I figured that out, I didn't even bother with the tester (and didn't know how to use it) because I could safely say my connection was solid. Moved from 11 channels to 62 (added preamp, 95 to u6, a new interior from roof to house). I consider myself above average in terms of comfort and I can do it myself. As for the settings for Cutter 2, Klein's video doesn't tell you which setting (more closed/smaller) and be sure to push the cable in all the way and straight - twist it in the Clockwise and then counterclockwise (or vice versa). I think another setting is to pull the scraps out of the tool, I pull off the cuts manually.

Pros
  • Contains tools to prepare, connect and test coaxial cables
Cons
  • Null
