For those of you in the market for a compression tool that can do multiple types of coax compression types (RG 59, 6,7 and 11) take a look at model VT-300 available on eBay from a few sellers for a very reasonable price. (Search "VT-300 Compression Tool"). Build quality is almost on par with a few of the $100+ crimpers that I have in my collection. Compression connectors are not demanding on the tools, so these are tools that can easily last a life time, regardless of the model you get.
