Review on πŸ”§ Gaobige Coaxial Cable Crimper Kit Tool for RG6 and RG59 - Compression Tool with Wire Stripper and 10pcs F Compression Connectors by Gaobige - Grey by Marc Burke

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't squeeze too hard

The tool was easy to use, but the wire stripper is just as difficult to adjust. Either cut through the inner shield or not cut through enough - even the smallest adjustment counted. "Compression" ends are cheap and don't tighten well. The coax cable I used met the specs for this kit, it just didn't hold the cable very well. Three times the ends easily tore off. Good thing there were so many ends in the kit otherwise I would have died in the water because even if they came loose they were useless after use. I applied liquid nails to the cable where it enters the end before crimping the ends of the coax to make them more secure. Hopefully I don't have to use this for something that needs more durability.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Easy to fix
