Not quality tools and not quality connectors

This was bought as a present. The recipient has been using solder type connectors and was not happy with the inconsistent results. This kit included several connectors to learn with or use if you already know how to work it. The crimp tool is good for RG-58, RG-59, and RG8X cable, so long as you select the correct size of braid connector barrel on the cable side of the PL-259 connector for the job. It will not work with LMR-400, RG-213, or RG-8 (full size old-school stuff) as they physically cannot fit into the crimp tool. A very nice introductory kit for the supported cable types.

Little disappointed. The crimper is exactly as expected. Not high end but good enough for hobbyist work. It's reasonably well made and has a useful selection of crimp sizes.The coax stripper is garbage. Doesn't cut well out of the box. Tried to adjust it and the blades immediately move out of level and no easy way to work them back. Sort of cut the outer jacket but could not cut the middle insulator at all. The wire cutters are fair if you're cutting small gauge wire or zip cord. For coax, it mashes as much as it cuts.The included connectors are for surprisingly small coax. RG174 sure , mb RG58 if you push hard enough, though I wouldn't bet on it. RG-8 (as advertised)? Not even close.If I could have bought just the crimper by itself for a few bucks less, I would have and been far happier.

You will need to tighten the screws holding in the jaws of this crimper, it was semi loose on first crimp, and ruined a connector.

Pretty complete kit. And I generally solder connectors the old school way and thought I’d give crimping a chance. Crimped on a few UHG connectors onto LMR 240. Connectors not from this kit. And tested them with a coax tester and then the radio. Worked really well and a lot faster than soldering.

The tools were surprisingly decent ! Was expecting cheap stuff for the price but got good quality tools for crimping BNC jacks. Definitely worth the money....
