Mike:

Like you, I used to ask that. Then I had a couple of clumsy technicians
assigned to me. (Fortunately, not at the same time0.) And, I really
believe they were trying, but they could NOT assemble ANY connector
properly, even after dozens of tries. One could even mess up screw on Type
F. Some people are just not competent with their hands. An illustration in
the other direction: How many people can paint like Michelangelo?

And whats so wrong about installing the connector the way it was
designed?

I've put on hundreds, and have never had trouble soldering the braid unto
a
quality connector.

Whats the problem I'm missing here..?
