Hi Tony,

I would use a nibbler if it's small enough. Start by drilling a small hole to fit the nibbler and expand the hole to fit the F-connector. You can get a nibbler on Amazon for $ 14.00.

Alternatively, drill a hole to fit the F-connector and before tightening the nut
put a few drops of epoxy or Gorilla glue between the connector and the hole.

The old fashioned way - drill a hole and expand it with a file.

If the nibbler is to big use second or third alt.

PS. Maybe you can find a Greenlee punch if you have to make many holes.

Does anyone know of a tool that makes a nice hole in Carlon boxes for a
female F-connector with two flats that makes a nice hole so the connector
doesn't spin?

Tnx
