SOUTHWIRE Company CPT-CF1 Coax Prep Tool,9-29/32" L G9535325

I bought this tool primarily for the nut driver for crowded access. I thought that the flaring and screw mount would be useful for some jobs, but not necessary for my purpose. I was wrong. I wound up using the prep fixtures more than the nut driver. This tool makes installing the EX6PLUS RG-6 compression fit connectors onto the quad shield coax much easier than by hand alone. It is a little bit pricey for what it is, but it is well-made and well-engineered for its purpose. Anyone who does their own network wiring for TV/SAT would find this tool to be a favorite after a few uses. I highly recommended it for both serious DIYers and cable installer professionals.

All good bar for won’t go over Comcast connectors to tighten the nut. Makes getting the cable on them easy though. I’d still recommend them

great tool

it's ok, a little too long for me, but that's just personal preference.

I bought this for the flare tool. It cuts down on the force needed to get a connector on the co-ax far enough to crimp. I was naive enough to think that a crimping tool alone would do it. The connector needs to be pushed onto the cable with “elbow grease” then crimped. Apparently, I bought eight practice connectors and two that I got value from. No wonder they sell them in packs of ten. It’s a good thing I didn’t do it to save money…
