Review on πŸ”Œ Klein Tools VDV812-612 Compression Connectors: Universal F Connectors RG6/6Q with Sleeve Technology - Professional Grade (50-Pack) by Jay Jeong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing I've ever used

I can't stress enough how good these things are. I have used several other barrel compression connectors before and they have all been absolute killers in my hands. I had to slide them into the ends of the cables with such force that I couldn't get past 4 terminations before I had to take a break. And I was always worried about not damaging the cables. But these small connectors are perfect. They just slide on so easily and then I really only have to press once with the tool to finish, but I still do it a few times just to be sure. I still had a few dozen of my old connectors, but after terminating about 30 RG6 ends, I threw my old ones away. They weren't even worth keeping in case of an emergency. I'd rather put work off for a few days until I order more than wring my hands with other connectors. Of course, they are more expensive, but they are 100% worth their cost. Even before I knew how easy they were to work with, I could feel the quality in the weight and see the quality in the construction. The other connectors I used seemed tinny. They looked like real metal and even looked good, which made a good impression on my customers. Seriously, don't use anything else. I'm slowly migrating many of my networking tools to Klein and becoming a big fan of it.
