[mythtv-users] OT: RG-6 crimping question

[gLaNDix (Jesse Kaufman)]

just bought a house and needed some info on running my own rg-6 cable 
for my myth setup (and cable internet) ... i've had experience running 
rg-6 (i used to do sprint broadband installs w/ getronics), but 
unfortunately i didn't swipe one of the nice T&B snap-n-seal 
crimper/stripper tools we used before i was laid off ;) ...

anyway, i have a tool similar to this: 
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=64-2984 
at home that has a crimper for f-type crimp-on ends and can easily find 
the crimp on ends that will work with it, but i wanted to know if this 
tool will be "good enough" or if i should get something better ... i'd 
*LOVE* to have this one: 
http://www.hometech.com/tools/coax.html#TH-IT1000 but just can't justify 
it for the few amount of times i'll be running RG-6 cable :(

any suggestions?  will that crimper work?  any tips on using a crimper 
like that?  i've also seen hex crimpers for fairly cheap, would they be 
any better?  i'd love a snap-n-seal, but i do'nt know anyone who has one 
and it's just out of my price range for now :(

thanks!
