I've actually had problems with these connectors. They were incredibly tight over the RG6Q cable I had. When I managed to thread one through the cable, my compression tool didn't evenly compress these connectors. The cylinders were offset from each other. Frustrated, I put them aside and bought a set of Ideal brand connectors on the spot. Same stripping method, same compression tool. The Ideal connectors were still taut (but not nearly as tight) and consistently compressed perfectly. I cannot recommend these Paladin connectors. They ended up in the trash.
