Re: Topband: - Belden Snap n Seal

2017-10-06 Thread Greg Zenger
For those of you in the market for a compression tool that can do multiple
types of coax compression types (RG 59, 6,7 and 11) take a look at model
VT-300 available on eBay from a few sellers for a very reasonable price.
 (Search "VT-300 Compression Tool"). Build quality is almost on par with a
few of the $100+ crimpers that I have in my collection.  Compression
connectors are not demanding on the tools, so these are tools that can
easily last a life time, regardless of the model you get.

Yepme too.
I got everything at Lowes.tools and all.

One small thing.
The correct part number is SNS1P6U-50R.
The writing is small and Hank had a 5 in place of the second S.

Also...the color of the connector indicates what coax is supposed to be
used.
Red is the correct color in this case.
There is a chart on the Belden site indicating the color vs coax etc.
As I rememberthe box of 50 was about $26
