Those are F-type connectors (like for cable tv). What you need is a pretty
generic crimping tool... If you'll be doing a bunch soon, I'd focus on a
comfortable grip like the Ideal 30-503
(http://www.mytoolstore.com/ideal/ide08-11.html)... This site has it listed
for $54.00, but you may be able to find it cheaper.
