Topband: Replacing F Connectors with BNCs

[Clay Melhorn]

This is the short tool most everyone carries that I know that works in TV distribution..

I also have one with a long screwdriver shaft that works better for tightly racked equipment.

such as the TV head-end I have at the hospital I work for.

Most of the time you cannot possibly get a hand in and tighten or loosen.

This one is excellent and can be even attached to your key ring.
