Inexpensive coax crimp tool			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
After you've soldered hundreds of UHF connectors, you get tired of the melted dielectric and other problems. With this tool, you can use inexpensive crimp-type connectors that are more reliable and much faster to attach...at a much lower price. This tool's die forms hex crimps of .319", .256", .213" and .068". Among others, this covers the three crimp sizes (strain relief, braid and center contact) for the Cambridge CPL-259-1 UHF male for RG-58/U and similar cables. When you buy 25 connectors, they cost only a hair over $1 each, cheaper than most soldered connectors. No, you can't do just as well crimping connectors with gas pliers! Get the right tool for the job -- you worn't regret it. It's also the kind of thing a club could buy for its members to use. The Eagle 382-301C is a "full-cycle" tool, meaning that it doesn't open until the crimp is fully formed. (There is a release lever, though). At less than $30, this tool produces quality crimp connections at a very reasonable price, especially compared to other full-cycle crimpers.
