I got some for work after my old boss left from menards that's a good quality. I picked up a few from walmart when it was on clearance for $3. The connectors that came with the walmart one were garbage bit the compressor was identical to menards one. I've made over 100 connectors at work in the past year with new cable runs or remaking cables to clean up the rats nest. Even making cables with wire strippers and box cutters over 10 years ago it's amazing just having the right tools can help get the job done quickly and right.
Worked great to fix my internet cable I cut while digging. Thanks for the video, it helped.
Glad to hear that, thank you for watching!
Glad I have this kit. Since I have to install antennas and satellite dishes, when it comes to wiring, these tools makes the job easier and faster. My first kit I bought it in 2018 and the second kit in 2022. Best part is that I can still use my first kit, the second one is for backup. You will laugh but a few years ago I used to cut the coaxial cable with a knife.
If someone knows what they are doing, a knife can be used to cut coaxial. It’s just that a stripping tool is more efficient, especially with repetitive cuts.
@@Nicholas_Chris I agree. When I said “if someone knows what they are doing “, I was implying the safety consideration. Let me be clear that a knife can be dangerous for stripping a coaxial cable; use the right tool for the job.
Thanks for this! Bought the same set on amazon after in a moment of madness cutting my cable because it was waaaaaaay too ping and would fit through the existing conduit under the floor. Chop.... yes got it through but now what?! Feeling like a winner. On my own after husband of 29 years left. Getting jobs done he never bothered to attempt. No messy cables across the floor! 🤩💪
I’m so happy to hear that you got the job done! Nice work! Thanks for watching too!
I have the same kit. My compression fittings never seemed really tight. Great video, that I think will help solve my issue.
👍
That is a very different system to the one I have. Still it looks good. I have made up a fair number of coax connections at this point.
The Allen wrench adjusts blade depth so the screwdriver could be to either push the pins out for disassembly if it is thin enough or to maneuver the blades when disassembled to slide them back in using the pits of the screwdriver head.
Picked mine up onAmazon. Love it.
Love my screw-on connectors. 30 seconds and done.
If they work, they work!
At 3:31 you can get a smoother result if you use a firm toothbrush to brush the strands of the braid back over the outer jacket.
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.
Great video
@@carbsvscardio5359 Thank you!
The screwdriver could be used to push out the orange "X" to reconfigure the tool. The instructions might say something about it. I have the same kit but it didn't come with instructions.
I realized that well after I made the video. No explanation of the screwdriver in this set either. Though I doubt I’ll have to reconfigure the tool anyway. But good to know anyhow.
Our local Walmart has the kit marked down to ten dollars.
Hard to beat that price!
Got mine at Walmart for $7. Lol. They're gone now.
Do you still have the item number so I can look it up please
Do they join with each other? Ie joining 2 cables
No, for that you would need a coaxial coupler, or a barrel connector.
Will this kit work with Quad shield cables ?
Yes, but quad shield has one extra layer of braided shield and foil that must be removed before a connector will fit on.
The details are shown 2-1/2 minutes into this video:

Anybody have the item number so I can look it up?
@@arikaplan8904 There’s links to the kit in the video description.
O
Screwdriver is for the depth adjustment on the cutting blades on the stripper's
There are hex keys included for that.
@@NorthcoasterHobby 100% however many have slots cut into the screws for screwdriver adjustment.
Mine did 👍
@@pauly9336 👍
Why doesn't my cable go into the connector as smooth as in the video? I have to force it in, while in the video, it easily goes right to the top of the connector.......
Check the printing on the cable. Is it possibly RG6 Quad shield? That is thicker cable.
@@NorthcoasterHobby .......... aaaaaaaaand, bam - just like that, problem solved. The internet is an amazing thing. Thank you.
@@Carl55_jc You’re welcome. There’s an extra layer of braided shielding and foil on RG6 Quad cable. Details about 2 and-a-half minutes in to this video. Push-on RG6 Coaxial Connectors - Easily make your own Coax Cable
