I use mostly Quad RG6, and I use the Ideal ratchet crimper and fittings as are available from Lowes, or Home Despot.
It is important to note that RG58 <> RG6 <> Quad RG6. They are each different in diameter, loss, and shielding capability. Each needs a different sized "F" connector, and crimping die. Fortunately the Ideal crimping die has all three sizes. -Chuck Harris F. W. Bray wrote:
For those of us in the U.S., does anyone have suggestions of vendors or brands of quality connectors and installation tools? Over the years, I worked my way up from cheap wire terminals to PIDG connectors and the correct tools. Rather than repeat the process with F connectors, I'm willing to pay a bit more the first time to do it right. Fred KE6CD
