All the big places carry these. Davis, Wireman, RF connection, etc...The 
price is reasonable at all of them. Tool price and quality varies 
widely.  You might not like a "cheap" crimper, or regret the purchase 
later on.  Hunting around there's not a great deal of difference between 
good and cheap prices.

I purchase 8X (braid plus foil) by the 500 or 1000 foot roll.  
Connectors usually 25 at a time.
Normal coax here is either LMR400, LMR600, and Davis Buryflex(TM). I do 
not use the UF versions of the LMR cables except for some left over.
