Customer Review: Great kit for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this kit to finish some runs of RG6 quad prior to a FiOS TV install. I had never used compession f-connectors before. I must say that I was impressed with the results. The cutter is spring loaded, sharp with smooth action and it cuts cleanly. The stripper tool works perfectly - it was able to create clean, prepared cable ends, no problem. When using RG6 quad, it is important that you follow the instructions and fold back the outer braided shield, then score and peel the outer foil off and then fold back the inner braided shield before installing the f-connector. Along with the instructions, they include clear color photos of the steps involved and what your cable should look like (be sure to open the yellow cardboard back panel as it has more photos and instructions inside). The f-connectors included are of good quality and are made for RG6 quad. The compression tool could not work better. Once you have the cable end prepared, and you force the f-connector down the cable end to the proper depth, simply insert the end into the compression tool and squeeze. It easily finishes the compression process and the cable ends come out picture perfect professional. In fact, the FiOS TV installer commented on how good they looked and he was impressed with the kit. My bother wants to borrow it now. I would suspect that the people who are having issues with this kit are either not following the instructions, or are not mechanically inclined. Is this a kit for pros doing installs for a living? No, but close. The compression tool would pass for a pro tool and so would the cutter but you would need a better stripper tool for doing hundreds of installs. However, for a home user I would highly recommended this kit.
