I have a crimping tool for PowerPole connectors, and,
looking at adverts for other crimping tools, it seems
that they are all similar with the jaws being removable.

With that in mind, what are the dimensions of the crimping
holes for jaws that will do BNC connectors?

I have the technology (At least a chunk of carbon steel) and
could fashion them myself.




With the whole tool only $ 20 to $ 25 it hardly seems worth the effort
to even spend the time to make a set of jaws.


The argument of a CBer and not a real radio ham?


Changing jaws are a PITA. These are sold all over eBAy under various
names:

I don't recall the price exactly, but I think one would be well within
your means.
