Review on KOTTO Coax Cable Crimper Kit with Adjustable RG6 RG59 RG11 Strippers and 20 F Compression Connectors: Perfect for Professional Cable Compression Tasks by Trey Harvey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well, connections not great and no direction = disappointment

Product works. After a few hours of experimenting, stripping numerous coaxial cables and breaking off connectors. There are no instructions in the pack. Videos of similar products on YouTube help partially but not fully. It's easy to accidentally strip the sheathing from under the rubber, so use caution as standard wire strippers and wire cutters will come in handy. Also, make sure to CLAMP the connectors COMPLETELY. If black plastic is visible in the center then it is not fully crimped and will fall off. This last segment requires additional effort. You'll also have to play around with the crimper to make sure it fits the terminals, hard to explain but doable. So if you want to save some money, this will work. For the best quality, however, it's probably better to get your own connectors.
