Re: What Tool Do I Need To Compress Standard RG6 Connectors Onto The Stripped Cable...

["JW" <jweb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know why I'm having so much trouble getting everyone to understand
what I'm looking for.  I am NOT looking for a CRIMPING TOOL,  I have a good
one like many posters have recommended.  I'm looking for a tool to COMPRESS
or SQUEEZE the connector (like the ones in the link below) onto the stripped
cable BEFORE I crimp it.  I know most installers just push and twist by hand
until the connector is in the correct position for crimping but I was hoping
someone made a tool for this because after doing several of these by hand,
your fingers get pretty tired. I don't know any other way to get my point
across so I will give up after this.  Thanks to everyone anyway.  Joe
