Sorry the compression tool is not adjustable..
No
No, it is preset for press/pinch on terminals.
I used the stripper included with the kit. When I compressed the included connector the copper conductor did not appear to extend out of the connector far enough or more to the point not at all. So I pulled the connector off the cable stripped more of the jacket back. I put the same connector back in the crimper and compressed it on to the cable. Can this be done? I also was somewhat surprised with the little effort to remove the connector. Comment?
Klein Tools, I am not sure what you mean by "Not fully inserting the Cable into the connector before placing the combination in the compression crimper". I inserted the stripped cable as far as I could where the foam insulator presses against the internal wall of the connector. The assembly fits within the crimper and I depress the handles of the crimper until I heard the "ratcheting" sound. I can not think there is anymore to this process. I performed a crimp today and when I tested the cable it showed an Open. I used a regular crimp connector with a crimping tool and that worked phenomenally. I am knowledgeable with crimping many different types of connectors but I am not sold on the "compression" types at this point.
Warmman, I am using Southwire RG6 cable. the package says that it is "Type CM/CL2, CATV/MATV - White 18 AWG, I have never seen cable that is larger than this and it is certainly larger than the old RG59. The connectors provided with the kit say they do both RG6 and RG6Q. Should be good to go.
No, you wouldn't want to anyway. You can potential cause noise on your line.
The crimping process engages the inside of the connector to attach it to the cable. If the connector has been crimped with the crimping tool, it cannot be reused. Based on your description it seems the cable was not fully inserted into the connector prior to the initial crimp and the connector did not properly engage the cable.
the Klein cable tool is designed to work with the larger diameter cable typical of the type the cable companies use. If the connector is coming off easily then the diameter is too small. use the larger diameter cable. Klein may make a connector for the smaller diameter cable. When using the striper make sure that the copper extends to end of the cable before striping or cut an inch off to be sure. Also when inserting the cable into the stripper make sure the black end of the tool is depressed fully in and insert the cable all the way in until it hits the other side, slide back the black door to be sure it is fully inserted. In my experience you cannot reuse the connectors once the have been installed using the compression tool.
It doesnt say in the description if the compression tool works with RG59 BNC connectors?
Id the RG59 connectors are press on/pinch type. If the fittings need to be squashed around the cable then they will not work with this compression tool. 6 of the correct fittings are included in this kit.
Haven't personally tried, but according to instructions on box it can be used for several types?
Yes
Yup.
Yup. Tight though.
No, only with standard audio/video coaxial connectors
No, not with RG59 Connectors
Yes, but they must be the correct size (length) for the compression cam to properly work. I machined another piece to fit Raychem F connectors.
Yes, the Crimper crimps compression F-Connectors to RG59, RG6 and RG6-Quadshield coaxial cable.
Yes, the compression tool works on RG59/RG6 and RG6Q F connectors.
