I hesitated a while before I bought the "expensive" proper crimp tool,
figuring that I would only use it a few times, and suffered with bad
crimps.
Now that I have used it more times than I had imagined, I sure am happy
that I did buy it. For some reason I seem to go through bags-full of
those connectors to construct or repair power, adapter, and extension
cables for all the gear here and at several installations that I maintain.
I have subsequently bought the "expensive" proper crimp tool for UHF
("PL-259") connectors for RG-8X coax, and similarly have used it quite a
bit, most recently to make the proper cables to allow switching of two
antennas and a dummy load with my K2/100.
