W5SWL connectors etc
« on: September 18, 2021, 11:08:21 AM »

Greetings. I just wanted to help spread the word about Dave, W5SWL's company. A few years back, I got interested in trying out the newer "crimp on" style of coax connectors. I was amazed at the ease and the foolproof assembly. I no longer dread the prospect of installing PL-359s or "N" connectors on cables ranging from RG-174 through RG-8 sizes. In fact, I enjoy it!

I am aware there are connectors (PL-259 type) that crimp both the center conductor and the shield. However, I only use the type that requires the soldering of the center conductor.

Yes you need a crimping tool to secure the shield, but those are very affordable. There are LOTS of folks out there selling these style of connectors and tools. I've been ordering from Dave for years and the quality of his products are amazing, as is his prompt shipping and excellent packing.

Try W5SWL and you'll see he has a class act.
