The Ezs are great when up on a tower or in a big hurry. You are just about 100% sure its done right. The cable tester is merely an exercise. Too bad they don't have a shielded one.
BTW- I looked up the patent. Its assigned to Paladin tools, the only ones who also make the crimper. I spoke to them about the cost of the connectors at a show in Orlando and they pretty much could have cared less. I say: wait until the Chinese clone them, then watch the prices.

I can do a connector, perfectly, every time, in 1/4th of the time that it takes the old way. And I NEVER have to redo them. Yeah it sucks paying $.50 for a connector, but my time and my sanity are worth it! And ONE call back because of a flaky connector covers my connector costs for years.
