BNC crimping jaws?

In article , says... 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? No, I try not to waste my time on the mechanical things. I have 3 or 4 of the crimp type tools. They are almost as inexpensive to buy the whole tool as one tool and several sets of jaws. Keeping up 2 ham repeaters, learning how the Arduino works, putting together uBITX and latest is a boat anchor station takes up lots of time. I am not that good at the mechanical things so for inexpensive tools it is easier for me to buy them. The cheapest thing that you can go out and buy is far more expensive than the costliest thing in your junkbox. I have a small stock of metal and a small machine shop, although I have just given away the 3D printer that was lying idle for the past 3 years; its rationale having disappeared with the lifting of the 16mm O gauge garden railway. Rude comments apart, the essence of amateur radio in my book is always doing for yourself the maximum that you can. I, too, have an Arduino evaluation kit, and a uBitx awaiting assembly should time ever permit :-) |
