Actually, it's not the crimp job that kills the connection. It's the

stripping of the coax that causes the most problems. I use various
rotary contrivances that have razor blades to make the cuts at the
correct spacing. Those work well initially, but after about 50
connectors, the blades become dull and useless. Of course, nobody has
spare blades or knows how to adjust them. They either continue to use
a dull razor or steal my new stripper.


I don't know the quality of the cutters you use, but I have bought several
from China off ebay for about $ 2 each including shipping. For the very few
connectors I do, they work. At that price, you could order a lot of them
and not worry about the replacement blades. Just like the disposiable
razors. They seem identical to the ones that sell in stores for $ 10 to $
15 .
