I needed this tool for a weekend project running coaxial cable in several rooms in a ranch house (7). I ordered this tool hoping to simplify a lot of wire end connections. Unfortunately, when first used, the metal rod rotated freely in the plastic handle, rendering the tool useless. I sent it back and ordered a Klien Tools VDV312-012-SEN F-connector insertion/extraction tool with a padded grip instead. On my next big project, the Klien tool worked flawlessly.
