Simple to use
Good value for the money. Very easy to use. Cheaper to fix cable’s than buy new ones. Can adjust to different cable sizes. Would by again.

If you want a good tool, buy name-brand.
As others are saying, this set of ends and tools is very cheap and not build to last. The hinges in the crimping tool aren't riveted and slide out, allowing the tool to fall apart. The F connectors also fall apart quite easily. I had to crimp some quad-shield RG6 which I thought may have been incompatible, but it is possible to do and get good signal. Once the cable is cut and trimmed properly, gently start twisting one of the ends on to it. More than likely, the bottom shell of the connector will start to slide off of the inner core. At this point, insert the end of the cable into the crimper making sure to apply pressure to the inner core of the connector. If that doesn't work, use a small flathead screwdriver and a hammer to tap the inner core so it sits fliush with the dielectric of the cable. You may also need to put the end back in the crimping tool, and use the screwdriver + hammer to tap the crimping shell back down so it sits flush with connector screw head. After that, you may need to crimp twice, flipping the cable 180 degrees to get both sides of the connector's collar. Long story short, stick to buying name brand tools if you want them to last.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. The crimping tool is about identical to the one sold by Harbor Freight. This is OK. The cutting tool was very cheap and was likely defective upon opening and cut all the way through the inner insulation, leaving only the copper core on my R6, with tool set to R6. However, worse than this, are the cable ends. Once crimped, they fell apart. I could see them start to fall apart as I crimped the cable to the end. Do yourself a favor and spend an extra couple of dollars for at least a slightly better set.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

wasted money (for me)
Cutter works OK after adjusting to fit cable. Not sure what the trick is with the connectors but the RG6 cable I have doesnt fit in the connectors. Ruined 8 connectors trying to make my first connections. Finally gave up and bought a Klien tool kit with RG6 connectors and had zero issues with no adjustments necessary. If you have more than a few fitting to connect, I recommend spending the extra money and get a good kit and fittings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Tool ok, ends poor.
The tool seems to be a decent quality but the cable ends are poor. They don't spin well and the body is almost as large as the connector nut making it difficult to use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
