I am considering taking the plunge and buying my first crimp tool to 
install coax connectors.  Currently I solder all of my connectors, but 
this is a slow process and from what I have read crimp connections are 
now just as good, if not better.

I normally use LMR400, RG8, or RG8X cable, and I will be installing 
PL-259's and N connectors.

Can you recommend a good set of affordable crimpers?  If you were buying 
a set for your station, what would you buy?

Thanks,
