I have been using those plugs for at least 10 years. They come in useful if
you have to put on a plug in cold weather and or high winds because no braid
soldering is needed. However at the back of equipment they are more
temperamental than regular 259's because the threads tend to be difficult.
YMMV

These are compression connectors similar to the N type compression
connector.
I use them as well as crimp type UHF connectors because I don't like the
solder type PL259 connectors for RG-8. RG-58 or LMR-400 type coax.
Pasternack offers a similar type connector. Their data sheet has assembly
instructions. You can use it as a guide.
