Jim,

I have used hundreds of RFI UHF, N, and BNC crimp connectors for 
years with great success. The only failures were dumb mistakes that 
I made. The crimps are well made, tight and resistant to pull-out 
from thermal contraction of the cable. The center pin is a 
gas-tight connection and the braid is hex ring crimped over a 
knurled surface.

I bought the RFI Crimp Tool with several dies for different coax 
types. And, the coax stripper from DXE. A good investment overall.
