Looking for suggestions for a good crimp tool for installing coax
connectors. It will primarily for BNC connectors on RG-174, 58 and 59
cables. Although the RG-8 cable family capability would be nice too.

I do wish to avoid being a captive customer in that brand X crimp tool
only works well with brand X connectors.

And, of course, looking for the best bank for the buck.

Thanks,

Danny

IF, 75 ohm BNC is okay .....for your specific application ...
then I would seriously consider the Snap-N-Seal (20.3mm) or Stirling
(19.3mm) compression connectors and tools. Note the size difference. USA
CATV operators seem to have adopted one of these 2 approaches nationally.

Connectors are available as BNC, F, RCA.
