Perfect solution when you are doing a one and done installation as DIY, thanks for this!

Simple, direct, to the point, with a closeup look; thanks very much.

Make sure you push the cable into the connector far enough so that the dielectric (the white part surrounding the center conductor) is flush with the base of the nut.

Awesome! Straight and to the point. I do not want to buy more tools that get used 1 time. Alternatives are awesome. Cheers and thumbs up!

This is fine for one fitting every now and then but if you have to put 100 fittings on this way it’ll take you 3 days. A prep tool (the stripper) and compression tool cost a total of $20-$30 depending on the brand and where you buy them. Just an fyi for any newbies out there.

Good practical video using common hand tools. Why would i buy special tools to do a couple of connectors?

compression tool is cheap, and efficient

Nice video, but the HF compression tool works great and is like $11. I could see doing this tool less method if I was only going to do one or two in my life. Otherwise a basic stripper and compression tool saves a bunch of time and frustration. Especially if you have occasion to terminate a cable in an awkward position, such as on a ladder.

Nah, messy inconsistent result. I just bought a three fitting compression tool for tenner. Now I don't need a block of wood with a hole.

[tridens]

So much for using the correct tool for the job!

$10 at micro center and you have a whole network connection bag which is good money. Just sayin

[JawzJuice]

Hahaha Next do how to get all the ingress from the f connection you just put on .

[Chrisegan]

This makes no sense to me.. if your sitting the connector on the wood, with the hole leaving space for the copper wire so that the connector sits flat on the wood, and then holding the wire with pliers but not tightly, just in order to apply force to the other end of the connector, and then hitting with a hammer....How is that doing anything at all.... Your just hitting the connector with a hammer... I dont understand how that is compressing the wire in any way.. Unless you meant to hold the wire tight with the pliers...
