Jim,

I have used hundreds of RFI UHF, N, and BNC crimp connectors for years with great success. The only failures were dumb mistakes that I made. The crimps are well made, tight and resistant to pull-out from thermal contraction of the cable. The center pin is a gas-tight connection and the braid is hex ring crimped over a knurled surface.

I bought the RFI Crimp Tool with several dies for different coax types. And, the coax stripper from DXE. A good investment overall.

Don't want junk. I see RF Industries parts listed in the $5 range. Any experience with quality of their products?
