Could you make some videos about installation connectors on thicker coaxial cables, please? For example for antenna cables (there bigger BNC Connectors too).
Thank you, the tool video is great and easy to to follow. I appreciate your time spent to explain and it was helpful in my project; highly recommended. 😊
Fantastic video!!! Thank so much for doing this one!!! Was hoping that the small compact compression crimper would do BNC. I'll probably get the bigger brother of it... which is the next one up and one below the other tank compression crimper you've got. Do you have a good source for good+solid+reliable Compression Connectors at reasonable cost??? Thanks again!!! Well done!!
Awesome! I found that I only needed to follow along simply ... I do love that your video is very patient and thorough. I am glad this was as easy as I had hoped. Here's to hooking up my wifi, etc. Thanks very much! 😉
That's how I used to do it years ago but I haven't seen any professional installers do that anymore. Haven't had any issues without bending the shielding back on coax connectors.
Thanks dude. Very helpful. I bought the tools, then googled "how to use coax tool" with the brand name and your vid was the first suggested. It worked out perfectly. (My cats tore the wires out of the wall, so I just tried to redo the shit they fucked up) my cats are still alive btw. I love them lil dinks, and didn't even scold them, because I didn't catch them in the act. Cats are pretty cool. Even though they are, like I said, dinks.
I do like this kit; however, I noticed, when working with RG 6, using the cutter tool, that the cutting blade gets slightly damaged when cutting through the center conductor. I don’t know if the center conductor is made out of steel coated with copper, or just pure copper, or hardened copper. They should have made the blade to rated to cut ACSR to keep the blade sharp. Brand new kit and I noticed the small damage on the blade after cutting only two times.
Very helpful - can you please advise should I use rg6 tri or quad shield for Comcast modem - told I need to run a "home run" cable from basement splitter to wall outlet and direct to router. Any and all information is helpful - thank you
As I mentioned in the video, she fittings work others didn't. If you're not or don't want to be consistent with your fittings you might want to spend a little more on an adjustable crimper.
I like the ideal kit version its a better kit and they carry it at the homedepot. The klein compression bnc fittings are my favorite they always work better than others brands.
@@lowvoltagedude7837 was late when I wrote that. Meant the stripper. But the cutter is very nice too and lighter than the diagonal cutters I used to carry when working with coax.

Thanks. Just picked up this kit and this covered everything I need to know.
Glad I could help

Excellent instructional video, thanks 🫡
Glad it was helpful!
These are by far the best and easiest tools to use...Took me less than 5 minutes to repair my cut coaxial
Yes. The right tools for the job makes things easier. I really like the stripper.
Once you strip the cable, aren't you supposed to fold down the braided wires/threadings?
That's how I used to do it years ago but I haven't seen any professional installers do that anymore. Haven't had any issues without bending the shielding back on coax connectors.
@@TomBuildsStuff Is it okay to connect RG6 cables to RG6 Quad Shield cables or would there be some sort of interference?

Would you recommend skipping the kit with these cutters if I already have ACSR diagonal cutters? Or is the shear important for coax?
A lot of coax cables have ACSR inside. For those you had better use another cable cutters ( I use Jonard cutter that officially can cut ACSR cables).

dont know if is too late but quad shield is a huge pain in the ass to use
Does the stripper work with RG8x cable?
can you use any compression connectors with this tool or does it have to be klien

Lots of blurry shots but nice job on showing stripper working on different cables.
Thanks god bless
Always welcome
very useful, thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know if was helpful.
Nice video, thanks! 👍👍

That looks like a nice kit. I do like the style of cutter in this Klein kit a lot though.
@@TomBuildsStuff yup the cutter is the best part of that Klein kit.

Nice info.....
Thank you for this.
