[TowerTalk] Crimp or Solder (score: 1): Author: <ab7r@cablespeed.com>; Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:54:37 -0400; Good morning all, I'm tired of trying to get a good PL-259 by soldering as my hands often shake too much. Though eventually I get it done. I recently read some comments elsewhere that a well-crimped; /archives//html/Towertalk/2007-06/msg00673.html (6,982 bytes)

For PL-259s I use two tools to do the job perfectly, in about a minute or so. I do my cable prep with a UT-8000 cable prep tool available from DX Engineering for $40.

You need both a good stripper that does *exactly* the right strip of the coax AND a crimper and dies that *match* the connector you're using.; /archives//html/Towertalk/2007-06/msg00691.html (8,795 bytes)
