PrecivaCoax Cable Crimper, Coaxial Wire Compression Toolkit with Crimp Tool, Double-Blade Wires Terminal Stripper Adjustable for Cable RG59/6/58/174, 20 F Connectors(for RG6 Cable&Cable TV)

Brilliant set. The cutter / stripping tool is easily adjustable and works well and the crimp tool itself if simple and effectiveThe whole process of fitting a connector, cutting, stripping and crimping takes less than a minute and so far has been perfect

Having read customer revues I purchased a Preciva a coax cable compression kit but I found that the instructions enclosed were a little misleading in whhat you have to do to ensure a proper connection .I then proceded to read the enclosed instructions before even attempting to use the stripping tool understandin how to use the stripping tool I proceeded to make my first attempt.The stripping tool is excellent and and strips off the correct amount of sleeving needed with out the need of a stanley knife or cutting tools or damaging the copper core.After reading the instructions once more before making my first attempt at fitting an F coax, but it didn't work I re-read the intructions again and made several more attempts to fit an F connector but it still wouldn't crimm the cable onto the connector, until I found that you need to force the plastic sleeving around the inner wire into the plastic sleeve on the inside of the connector, you should just be able to see the end of the cable sleeve, it took 12 attempts to get the cable to fit correctly and secured.Once I found the correct way I couldn't fault either of the tools an excellent purchase.

Excellent product, easy to use and you get a great result too !!Highly recommended !!

I had dodgy TV signals from my Loftbox due to my poor termination of F Type plugs; both poor signal strength and cables easily pulling out. This unit has fixed all that.OK; a couple of things. Practice the wire-stripping on a piece of spare cable first. Clip the wire cutter round the cable then see how many twists (turns) you need to get the perfect cut; in my case just over 4. If you use too few, the dielectric will not have been cut through. If you use too many, the whole thing will have been cut through. Get it right and the (1) outside sheath and dielectric is cut-off then (2) the outside insulation and inside screen is cut leaving just the right amount of dielectric remaining all in one operation. Then carefully insert the cable into the connector and push in (twist if necessary) until the dielectric just starts to show inside. Stop now. If there is excessive central conductor showing then shorten it, pop the plug into the crimper and squeeze. Now trim the central conductor. The result is a physically secure connection and good signal. so simple, so good.

It wasn’t so bad at the beginning. The cutters cutter the cable as advertised.My problem came when crimping into the cable itself.I tried several times reading instructions over and over. And basically the crimps just didn’t grip the cable and fitting just pulled off with the slightest of touches.I had to pad my cable out with some electrical tape. Then heat shrink tube the otter case to the cable.(Update)So I do believe an update is required after several week after purchase.Even though I had some issues with crimping, I had been in contact with the company directly, they had sorted out my issue regarding the crimp and have assured me this has been revised.Even though I had mixed review upon this item I would however buy again from this company purely because they was in constant, polite communication and they amended the issue with the tool.

So I received this kit to attach an F connector that I had cut off in order to move the Virgin Media entry point into my house.As per some other reviews, it just wouldn’t work at all and the connector wouldn’t stay on after using to tool.The supplier has tried to explain how to avoid this in the pictures but it isn’t immediate obvious.So my advice is as follows:1) There is an inner metal ring in the F connector. You are NOT aiming to push the cable through this tiny ring. That’s the first thing I struggled with.2) The aim is that when you push the cable in to the connector. The cable jacket (the black covering in my case) needs to be pushed so it goes around the inner metal ring, not through it. The metal ring will effectively separate the cable jacket and the sheathing/dielectric once you push the cable in correctly.3) the fun doesn’t stop here. It’s almost impossible to push the cable in, in the way that’s required. I ruined several connectors trying to do this.I then came across a you tube video where someone had posted in the comments that everyone is doing it wrong, including the chap in the video.Most of the videos online show you how to use the tools but every one I watched tells you to expose the dielectric by cutting off the outer cable jacket which exposes the shielding/strands. They then tell you to move these strands out of the way by pushing them down and around the cable jacket, so they are out of the way. If you do this it becomes near impossible to push the cable in so the inner ring can separate the outer jacket and the shielding.4) the way to do it is simple. Once you have cut off the outer cable jacket and exposed the shielding and dielectric just go ahead and push the cable into the connector. Don’t mess with the shielding. You will need to use some twisting and some force but it will definitely through.I wore some gloves when doing this as pushing the cable in creates quite a lot of friction.It’s easy when you know how.

Easy to use, feels strong and does the job. Great buy
