I'm not sure what problem you are describing here.  I get the best average
success rate paired with speed with 2 piece BNCs.  I use the proper size hex
die and get a great connection every time.  It looks very proffessional and
works very well for me.

P.S. 3 piece are fine, but a lot of distributors just don't have them or
they don't have sales people intelligent enough to find them.
