I bought the crimpers sold by DXE in a plastic tool box.  They seem to me to
be an 8 on a scale of 10, plenty good enough but not outstanding.  I am a
neophyte RE powerpole installing but with the tool it is no big deal.  The
coax prep tools require a bit of practice but after I had a little practice
I did OK.  I don't have the tool handy right now so I can't confirm the part
number nomenclature.

Best of luck to you whichever way you go.

That time of year to send my wish list to Santa.

One item I am interested in is a crimping tool for coax and powerpole
connectors.

Looking at the DX Engineering DXE-UT-CRMP2 ratcheting crimper and also the
TRIcrimp from powerwerx.com



Any recommendations on which one or possibly other ones that are good for
RG-8 and Powerpole connectors?



Tnx

N2TK, Tony
