just bought a house and needed some info on running my own rg-6 cable
for my myth setup (and cable internet) ... i've had experience running
rg-6 (i used to do sprint broadband installs w/ getronics), but
unfortunately i didn't swipe one of the nice T&B snap-n-seal
crimper/stripper tools we used before i was laid off ;) ...
anyway, i have a tool similar to this:
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=64-2984
at home that has a crimper for f-type crimp-on ends and can easily
find the crimp on ends that will work with it, but i wanted to know if
this tool will be "good enough" or if i should get something better
... i'd *LOVE* to have this one:
http://www.hometech.com/tools/coax.html#TH-IT1000 but just can't
justify it for the few amount of times i'll be running RG-6 cable :(
any suggestions? will that crimper work? any tips on using a crimper
like that? i've also seen hex crimpers for fairly cheap, would they
be any better? i'd love a snap-n-seal, but i do'nt know anyone who
has one and it's just out of my price range for now :(
SNS is definitely the way to go... I've done both for many years and SNS
is far superior. I have this:
http://www.hometech.com/tools/coax.html#EC-300091
$50 - ok price, but not as good as ebay.
The store is in my area so it's a bit easier for me. But, you can also
buy online.
