I get 2 piece crimp ons made by Steren from DBL for most applications.
Never have a problem if I install them.  Doesn't matter what kind if
conenctor it is if somebody else installs them.

For some special jobs I use Snap-N Seal connectors.  I keep a hundred or so
of both common zies on hand and always repair a trouble conenction witht hem
because they also offer some strain relief.

I have tried twist ons in the past and they are still in service and still
working, but they are definitely not in my opinion the easiest to install
properly.

Ages ago I only used 3 piece crimp ons, but due to the difficulty of getting
them from most distributors in the proper sizes and the extra care and
precisions need to trim the cable and install them I now only use the 3
piece for the rare RG-58 data repair or stranded center conduct flex cables.

After using all four I can install the 2 piece crimp ons the fastest with
the least (nearly none) troubles over a long period.  They are also the most
forgiving when handed to other techs.
