[mythtv-users] Re: OT: RG-6 crimping question

[WJCarpenter]

Someone suggested getting the compression crimper at Lowe's hardware.
I did just that.  It's about $12, which is an OK price involving
instant gratification.  I don't know if this tool is "good" or not,
but it's got a solid enough feel to it that I think it will be fine
for the average person just wiring up their house and their best
friend's house, etc.  There is no stripper in this tool.  It's just a
crimper.

You can also find the same thing online for around the same price
(when you factor in shipping).  It's a Zenith ZDS5061.  At Lowe's,
they only carry the Zenith RG-6 Quad shielded connectors, and they're
fairly expensive.  However, the tool ought to work fine for various
other brands of compression connectors.  I tried it already with some
"Ideal" connectors I got at Home Depot.
