I switched to all N type, solder fee, clamp connectors.

They go on with two wrenches.

And I use N-to-UHF adapters were I couldn't swap out in N females from UHF females in devices.

I hate those UHF things. I bought a sack of like 50 of these to get the bulk discount.

Bob, it was my skill, or rather the lack there of that caused me to quit reusing connectors. I too, have had the center pin pull out, I even trashed Phenolic Insulators (before Teflon) and boy, that stuff really stinks!
So I'm a member of the Been there, Done That, but no T-shirt" club.
If a mistake can be made, I've probably done it<sigh>
I'm probably done making them at 100 feet though.
