They are nice sure, but consider how expensive the connectors are I go with regular connector. Even if that means I have to do two crimps and have to mess with the center pin. Not crimped a cable in the field for years thanks to PoE occasionally need a jumper and mostly just use premade jumpers and in the rare instances build a custom length. Don't even have connectors or coax spools in the install van any longer. But have a variety of different length of coax cables.
The stripper tool is great. Crimper you can use just about any crimpers and the deburring tool I got one don't use it, don't need it for center pins you crimp. Or just use a $5 file. Tessco got all the brand parts. We got the crimp handles and dies if you want to save some. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of D.

I am looking for the following: EZ-400-NMH-D Connector CCT-01 Tool (cutter) ST-400EZ tool (cable Prep tool) DBT-U (deburr tool) HX4 Tool (crimp tool) Separately or in a kit... Does anyone have a favorite Vendor? I saw one vendor selling a kit for LMR400/600 with all of the above parts. They wanted over $1000 for it! The 'EZ-Crimp" connectors look like the way to go, but other advice is appreciated. ryan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
